The curve the order pairs (0,10) and (1,5) and (2,2.5) can be represented by the function f(x)=10(0.5)x What is the multiplicative rate of change if the functions

Respuesta :

Answer:

The multiplicative rate of change is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]f(x)=10(0.5)^x[/tex]               .... (1)

It is given that the curve is passing through (0,10), (1,5) and (2,2.5).

The exponential function is defined as

[tex]f(x)=ab^x[/tex]                .... (2)

Where, a is initial value and b is growth factor of multiplicative rate of change.

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

[tex]a=10[/tex]

[tex]b=0.5[/tex]

Therefore the multiplicative rate of change is 0.5.
