Question

the function f(x)=2•5x can be used to represent the curve through the points (1,10) (2,50) and (3,250). What is the multiplicative rate of change of the function.

Answer 1

the answer would be 5

Answer 2

Answer:- the multiplicative rate of change of the function=5

Explanation:-

Given function:
`f(x)=2\cdot5^x` on coparing it with exponential function
`Ab^x`,here A=2 is the initial amount of the function and b=5 is the multiplicative rate of growth.

Alternatively,

Given points=(1,10) (2,50) and (3,250)

We can see that

at x=1, y=10=2×5

at x=2, y=50=2×5×5

at x=3, y=250=2×5×5×5

⇒ the multiplicative rate of change of the function=5
