MEDAL AND FAN PROMISED!!! PLZ HELP!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 2(3)x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me find the rate of change @kiamousekia

OpenStudy (idku):

\(\large\color{black}{f(x)=2(3)^x}\) Like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\i need to find the rage of change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with that formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@kiamousekia can u help me plz

OpenStudy (idku):

How would you normally find the slope between the slope between points \(\large\color{black}{(a,b)}\) and \(\large\color{black}{(c,d)}\) ? \(\large\color{black}{m=\dfrac{b-d}{a-c}}\)

OpenStudy (idku):

For section A, you need to find f(0) and f(1), and then the slope between (0,f(0)) and (1,f(1)).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i need 2 Find the average rate of change of each section.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so ik that formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i need help doing it

OpenStudy (idku):

ok, and tell me what is f(0)=? and f(1)=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,1)?

OpenStudy (idku):

\(\large\color{black}{f(x)=2(3)^x}\) \(\large\color{black}{f(0)=2(3)^0=?}\) \(\large\color{black}{f(1)=2(3)^1=?}\)

OpenStudy (idku):

(anything raised to power 0, is 1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i need 2 answer that equasion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk sorry

OpenStudy (idku):

yes, you need to answer my 2 last questions (those are your y-values of the 2 points, respectively) and then use the slope formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 2(3)x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3 this is what im asking tho i need to find them sepretly

OpenStudy (idku):

I know.

OpenStudy (idku):

You have to know the y-coordinates of the 2 points to find the slope, don't you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ok i got it now

OpenStudy (idku):

What is the y-coordinate when x=0? What is the y-coordinate when x=1?

OpenStudy (idku):

(recall that your function is \(\large\color{black}{f(x)=2(3)^x}\) )

OpenStudy (idku):

plug in 0 for x, and then plug in 1 for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 6 and there are no soulutions 2 the first 1

OpenStudy (idku):

\(\large\color{black}{f(x)=2(3)^x}\) \(\large\color{black}{f(0)=2(3)^0=2\cdot1=2}\) So the y-coordinate when x=0, is y=2

OpenStudy (idku):

Can you find the y-value when x=1? (do it same way I have done it)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so confused

OpenStudy (idku):

and im so sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Preetha @perl can you plz help
