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)

Is the relation a function?
Margaret [11]
No; a domain value has two range values.

x = -2 then y = 1 and 2

they would form a vertical line, which tells us that it's not a function

The length of a rectangle is 3 ft less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 14 ft2 . find the dimensions of th
omeli [17]
Given: A= 14 ft²  and  l= 2w-3 
formula for area of a rectangle is A=lw
substitute for what you know and simplify: 
14=(2w-3)w -> w= either -2 or 7/2 but because a width value can not be negative you can eliminate the -2 value. w=7/2 
subsitute width into equation for length and solve
l=2w-3= 2(7/2)-3= 4
width: 3.5 ft
length: 4 ft

Vera is using her phone. Its battery lifw is down to 2/5 and it drains another 1/9 fraction every hour. How long will her batter
just olya [345]

Battery is down currently = 2/5

Battery drains at the rate of 1/9 every hour.

Remaining battery life of Vera = 1 -2/5 = 3/5

Let y we the number of hours battery will last.

So, 1/9 y = 3/5

y = 27/5

y = 5 + 2/5 hours

y = 5 hrs and 24 mins

So battery will last another 5 hrs and 24 mins.

hope this helps:)
