Question

The table represents an exponential function. What is the multiplicative rate of change of the function?

Answer 1

C) 0.5

Explanation:

0.25 × r = 0.125

r = 0.125/0.25

r = ½

r = 0.5

Answer 2

0.5

Explanation:

We find the multiplicative rate of change simply by taking one of the y values and dividing it by the y value right above it.

Here, let's just arbitrarily choose y = 0.125. We divide this by the y value above it, which is y = 0.25:

0.125 / 0.25 = 0.5

So, the multiplicative rate of change is 0.5.

Hope this helps!
