Correct Answer: - 550
We can use the distributive property to distribute the summation to the variables and then get the constant out to apply the summation formulas as shown below in the attached image.
The equation editor does not have a summation symbol, so I have attached the solution using the image.
The correct answer to this question is -550. First option is the correct one.
The growth factor of the exponential function represented by the table is 5.
The correct option is c.
<h3>What is the growth factor of the exponential function?</h3>The growth factor of the exponential function is the ratio of the two consecutive terms (y-values).
The growth factor of the exponential function is given by;
As per given, we have a table;
x y
-2 0.004
-1 0.02
0 0.1
1 0.5
The value is -2 and
is -1.
Therefore,
the growth factor of the exponential function represented by the table would be :
Hence, the growth factor of the exponential function represented by the table is 5.
