The answer to that question is x=20
<span>Initial number of the people that belong to a certain social website is 412. It is growing at a rate of 5% every month. It means that every month the number of people is growing 1.05 times. We can calculate how many of them will there be in 9 months: 412 * 1.05^9 = 412 * 1.55 = 638.6. When we round to the nearest whole number: there will be 369 members.</span>

-2.1x and 4.9x = 2.8x
3.7 and 5 = 8.7
2.8x + 8.7 is your final answer.
A. Average rate of change for x=1 to 2: 4(2²)-4(2)=16-8=8; from x=3 to 4: 4(2⁴)-4(2³)=64-32=32.
b. Section b is 32/8=4 times greater. As the exponent of 2 increases, the gaps between consecutive powers of 2 gets wider and therefore the rate of change is greater.
