Question

The function f(x) = 2.54 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

So the multiplicative rate of change is increased by a factor of 5 per 1 unit increase in x.

Explanation:

I think your function is off... but I can look at your ordered pairs.

(1,10)

(2,50)

(3,250),..

As the x increases by 1 the y is being multiply by a factor of 5 each time.

So the multiplicative rate of change is increased by a factor of 5 per 1 unit increase in x.
