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 is(b) 5 got it right on the test

Answer 2

The answer is 5.

Explanation:

Multiplicative rate of change can be described as the rate change based on a original amount or point.

If we look at the given points for the function f(x) = 2.5x, we can see that the x coordinates increase by one while the y coordinate is increasing by 5 times it's value for the previous point.

So we can say that the multiplicative rate of change is 5 for the function f(x) = 2.5x.

I hope this answer helps.
