Answer:
When we have a function f(x) = y.
The rate of change between a and b (where a < b) is:
R = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a)
In this case:
b = 3
a = 1
f(3) = 127
f(1) = 95
R = (127 - 95)/(3 - 1) = 16
The rate of change in that interval is 16.
The graph starts flat but then curves steeply upwards. You can tell this by the sudden jumps in y-coordinates, illustrating that it keeps going further up faster and faster as the x-coordinates progress steadily.
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
