OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So same kind of process your f(x)=56 and you x=8 so you have the equation xk=f(x) can you try and plug in the numbers? I know you can!

MsBrains (ms-brains):

I don;'s get it, f(x) = 56, but then x = 8? How am I supposed to plug those in..?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Into your equation the f(x)=xk equation what goes in your f(x) part?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

You said it!

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Ohhhh! I get it now! The correct answer is D.14!

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes!!!! Good job!!! :)

MsBrains (ms-brains):

I have 1 more I need help though!

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Ask away! :)

Well this has to do with consistant slopes which ones can you knock out right away?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Like if you plug in x values which would be constant change for 2 of those instantly

MsBrains (ms-brains):

I got no idea..

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Can you think of it in a slope way?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Are you good with slope?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

I guess..

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Its okay okay think about the second and third options this is kinda tricky to explain

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

If you plug in 0 1 2 for x what would you get for the 2nd function

MsBrains (ms-brains):

I think the correct answer is A.y=4/x

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes because if you plug in x values 1,2,3 your not getting a constant rate of change 4/1=4 4/2=2 4/3=4/3 we dont know what this function is decreasing by because its not constant

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Unlike 7x if you plug in 0,1,2 for 0 you will get 7,14,21 you know the constant rate of change is 7

MsBrains (ms-brains):

So, A is correct?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Are you absolutely sure? Last I got this wrong, and it made me do it allover again?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Kay. Thanksss
