Question

50 PTS The table represents an exponential function.

What is the multiplicative rate of change of the function?


A: 2/3

B: 3/4

C:4/3

D: 3/2

Answer 1

B: 3/4 you're welcome;)

Explanation:

Answer 2

B: 3/4

Explanation:

Since we know this is an exponential function

y= ab^x

where a is the initial value and b is the growth rate or what we multiply by

For the first point x=1 and y = 3/2

3/2 = a b^1

3/2 = a*b

For the second point x=2 and y = 9/8

9/8 = a b^2

Take the second equation over the first

9/8 = a b^2

-------------------

3/2 = a*b

3/4 = b

The growth rate is 3/4

That would also be know as the rate of change
