First, let's start off by simplifying as much as possible before factoring.
5d^2 - 50d + 125
We can divide all the numbers by 5 in order to simplify it:
5(d^2 - 10d + 25)
Now all we need to do is factor.
Since -5*-5 = 25 and -5 - 5 = -10, we can use this to factor:
5(d - 5)(d - 5)
Or
5(d - 5)^2
The rate of change is the same as the slope.
Let's find the slope of function 1 using the Rise Over Run rule.
The rise is 2 and run is 1. So your rate of change is 2/1 or 2 for function 1
Function 2 is a y = mx + b equation, the slope is usually "m" or before the x
y = 1/2x + 7
1/2 is your rate of change for function 2
