Answer: y = 14^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the options are:

a y = 14^x

b y = -3*(17)^x

c y = 120x

d y = -275x

to see which function increases the fastest (or which function is steeper) we need to look at the first derivations of each one of these, and see which one is larger for every value of x:

the derivations are:

a y = x*14^(x - 1)

b y = -x*3*(17)^(x  - 1)

c y = 120

d y = -275

So we can already discard options c and d, because have constant rate of change.

Then we keep options a and b.

Always when we have an exponential function, like a^x and b^x

The one with the larger base will be steeper.

So if a > b, then:

a^x is steeper than b^x

In this case, the function:

y = -3*(17)^x

has a larger base, but, this function is negative.

This means that as x increases, our function will decrease, then this function will not "increase the fastest" (because it does not increase)

Then the left option (a: y = 14^x)

Will be the correct one.

(this will happen after some value of x, because two of the options have constant derivatives, these may be steeper for smaller values of x, and as x increases, we will see that y = 14^x is the one that increases the fastest)

If you didn't change the slope of the line, but you moved it
down 6 units on the graph, then its y-intercept would become
6 less.  The equation of the new line would be ...

Solve the system of equations y=9x+13 y=2x+48
MakcuM [25]
Both are equal y. So you can set them equal to each other

9x+13=2x+48

Subtract 2x from both sides

7x+13=48
Subtract 13 from both sides

7x= 35

X=5
