Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

The "multiplicative rate of change" refers to the rate at which the function increases. The rate of exchange below is
(3)/(4) because if you multiply this to every value of y, the product is the next value of y.


  • (3)/(2) x
    (3)/(4) =
    (9)/(8)

  • (9)/(8) x
    (3)/(4) =
    (27)/(32)

  • (27)/(32) x
    (3)/(4) =
    (81)/(128)

If the function continues, the next value would be:
(243)/(512)

Such constant rate causes an "exponential growth."
