The table represents an exponential function. What is the multiplicative rate of change of the function?
a.1/5
b.2/5
c.2
d.5

Answer 1

Note how y changes by a factor of 1/5 each time x increases by 1. Thus, the mult. rate of change here is 1/5.

Answer 2

A
`(1)/(5)`

Detailed Explanation

As we look at y, we see that the numbers change by
`(1)/(5)` as x increases by one.

`\boxed {2 * (1)/(5) = (2)/(5)} \rightarrow \boxed {(2)/(5) * (1)/(5)= (2)/(25)} \rightarrow \boxed{(2)/(25) * (1)/(5) = (2)/(125)}`

Therefore, we could conclude that the multiplicative rate of change of the function would be A
`(1)/(5)`
