Part A)
f(x) = 5^x
f(0) = 5^0
f(0) = 1
----------
f(x) = 5^x
f(1) = 5^1
f(1) = 5
----------
f(x) = 5^x
f(2) = 5^2
f(2) = 5*5
f(2) = 25
----------
f(x) = 5^x
f(3) = 5^3
f(3) = 5*5*5
f(3) = 125
-------------------
Rate of change for section A = (f(1) - f(0))/(1 - 0)
Rate of change for section A = (5 - 1)/(1 - 0)
Rate of change for section A = 4/1
Rate of change for section A = 4
Rate of change for section B = (f(3) - f(2))/(3 - 2)
Rate of change for section B = (125 - 25)/(3 - 2)
Rate of change for section B = 100/1
Rate of change for section B = 100
================================================
Part B)
From part A) above, we found,
Rate of change for section A = 4
Rate of change for section B = 100
Which means that section B's rate of change is 25 times greater (since 100/4 = 25, or 25*4 = 100)
Answer for part B: 25
================================================
Extra: Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other.
The rate of change for section B is larger because the exponential function is growing faster as x increases. This is shown visually by the sharper and steeper incline as the function curve goes upward. The function starts off with relatively slower growth but it accelerates in speed.
Answer:
(p∘q)(5) = 2
(q∘p)(5) = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The composition of functions can be written a little differently, perhaps making it easier to understand.
(p∘q)(x) = p(q(x))
(p∘q)(5) = p(q(5)) = p(2·5 -5) = p(5) = 5 -3
(p∘q)(5) = 2
__
(q∘p)(5) = q(p(5)) = q(2) = 2·2 -5
(q∘p)(5) = -1
Answer:
2x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
6x - 4x = 2x
-3 -(-5) = 2
-3 +5 = 2
PLZ MARK BRAINLIEST! :)
I'm going to say g + 2= h
Answer:x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
y=y
y = -x + 10
y = 7x + 2
-x+10=7x+2
10=8x+2
8=8x
x=1
