Question

What is the multiplicative rate of change of the function described in the table

Answer 1

The multiplicative change can be found by finding the ratio between each term of y-values


`(1)/(10): (1)/(2) = 1:5`

`(1)/(2): (5)/(2)=1:5`

`(5)/(2): (25)/(2) = 1:5`

`(5)/(2) : (125)/(2)=1:5`

The consecutive term is always 5 times larger than the previous one, hence the multiplicative change is 5
