Question

the function \\(f(x) = 2 \cdot 5^x\\) 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?

\\(\bigcirc\\) 2
\\(\bigcirc\\) 5
\\(\bigcirc\\) 10
\\(\bigcirc\\) 32

Explanation:

Identify the exponential function form

$$ f(x) = a \cdot b^x = 2 \cdot 5^x $$

Determine the base of the exponential function

$$ b = 5 $$

Relate the base to the multiplicative rate of change

$$ \text{Multiplicative Rate of Change} = b = 5 $$

Answer:

  • 2
  • 5 (Correct answer)
  • 10
  • 32
