Question

What is the multiplicative rate of change of the exponential function represented in the table? 1.5 2.25 3.0 4.5

Answer 1

Use the geometric sequence formula to solve for rate:
an=a1r^(n-1)

6.75=4.5r^(2-1)
6.75=4.5r
6.75/4.5=r
r= 1.5
and if you want to make sure just multiply each number by 1.5 and see if it gets you the next number
4.5 4.5×1.5=6.75 (holds true)
6.75 6.75×1.5=10.125 (holds true)
10.125 10.125×1.5=15.1875 (holds true)
15.1875

1.5 is the multiplicatice rate hope that helps :)

Answer 2

1.5 is the rate. Here you go
