Question

Determine which function has a greater change of rate.
Be sure to show work as well.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

You need to find the slope in A. y = x + (4x - 1) = 5x -1. The slope is 5.

In B, as x increases 1 unit, y increases 1 unit. Therefore, the rate of change is 1/1 = 1

Conclusion: In A the rate of change is 5 and in B the rate of change is 1.

Therefore, A has a greater rate of change
