Question

Consider the function y = 8x. How do the y-values of this function grow?

1) by adding 8 <--- (this is the answer)

2) by multiplying the previous y-value by 8

3)by adding 8, then 16, then 32




Consider the function y = 15x. How do the y-values of this function grow?

1) by adding 15

2) by multiplying the previous y-value by 15 <---- ( this is the answer)

3) by adding 15, then 30, then 45…

Answer 1

Here is a reference

Explanation:

Answer 2

Consider the function y = 8x.

For x = 1, y = 8(1) = 8
For x = 2, y = 8(2) = 16
For x = 3, y = 8(3) = 24

Therefore, the y-values of this function grow by adding 8



Consider the function
`y = 15^x`

For x = 1,
`y = 15^1=15`,
For x = 2,
`y = 15^2=225`,
For x = 3,
`y = 15^3=3,375`

Therefore, the y-values of this function grow by multiplying the previous y-value by 15
