Flvs Students Only and Algebra 1 Students only! I have a Question!

OpenStudy (michellemn):

Does anyone have 4.05 on there computer? Or does anyone wanna help me?

OpenStudy (michellemn):

their*

OpenStudy (michellemn):

The assessment is very confusing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill help

OpenStudy (michellemn):

@clayton1012110 Its a little long. If you don't wanna help now I understand.

OpenStudy (michellemn):

Could someone go step by step with me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go ahead

OpenStudy (michellemn):

@igreen @coolman500 @jojo4eva @Legends

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, we need to create a function that compares to the starting prices and rates of the other functions. what are the starting values and rates of the other functions?

OpenStudy (michellemn):

I know the first question. f(x)=23(1.06)^x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how did you obtain that?

OpenStudy (michellemn):

because it has to be the second lowest starting price and the second highest rate of growth

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it fits alright :) now graphing it and describing it ... we would need some points for it, maybe?

OpenStudy (michellemn):

i guess

OpenStudy (michellemn):

Im sorry algebra is not my best subject

OpenStudy (amistre64):

let x=0,1,2,3 .... plot the points what kind of descriptions are they wanting? exponential, end behaviour, monotonic increasing, i dont know what your vocabulary words for these are.

OpenStudy (michellemn):

V Y-intercept Increasing versus decreasing, growth versus decay Rate of growth Average rate of change

OpenStudy (michellemn):

so the y intercept would be (0,23) rate of growth is 6%

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and of course its increasing (growth) not really sure how we would express the average rate of change ofr an exponential function tho.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

now, #3 should be simple enough

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the average rate of change is the slope of a line between endpoints say over 10 years, the average rate of change is just: 13 - 13(1.06)^(10) ---------------- 10

OpenStudy (amistre64):

might have a bad order there, swap the top around lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

whats your understanding of part 3?

OpenStudy (michellemn):

What do you mean swap the top around

OpenStudy (amistre64):

average rate of change is just a lope formula f(a) - f(b) -------- a - b i inadvertantly did f(b) - f(a) -------- ; which gives us a negative of the real rate of change a - b

OpenStudy (michellemn):

ok @amistre64

OpenStudy (michellemn):

help?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what are your thought on part 3?

OpenStudy (michellemn):

i dont really know
