Question

YES I WILL BE GIVING A BRANLIST

Which function has the greater rate of change? What is that value?

Answer 1

To find the rate of change you use the formula, Y2-Y1/X2-X1.

Function A:

You can substitute in any two points. The points I will use are (0,0) and (1,1).

1-0/1-0

1/1

1

The rate of change for Function A is 1.

Function B:

The points I will use are (2,1) and (4,2).

2-1/4-2

1/2

The rate of change for Function B is 1/2.

Since 1 is larger than 1/2, Function A has a larger rate of change. The value is 1.

Hope this helps! :)
