How does f(t)=7t change over the interval from t=1 to t=3?Choices:f(t) decreases by a factor of 7f(t) increases by factor of 7f(t) decreases by 7%f(t) increases by a factor of 49
Q. How does f(t)=7t change over the interval from t=1 to t=3?Choices:f(t) decreases by a factor of 7f(t) increases by factor of 7f(t) decreases by 7%f(t) increases by a factor of 49
Given function: We have: f(t)=7t Find the value of f(1). Substitute t=1 in f(t)=7t. f(1)=71=7
Find f(1): We have: f(t)=7t Find the value of f(3). Substitute t=3 in f(t)=7t. f(3)=73=343
Find f(3): We found: f(1)=7f(3)=343 Calculate the change. f(1)f(3)=7343=49
Calculate change: Change: f(1)f(3)=49 Is f(t) increasing or decreasing? The value of f(t) increases from 7 to 343. So, f(t) increases.
Behavior of f(t): We found: Change: 49 Behavior of f(t): increases How does f(t)=7t change from t=1 to t=3? We found that f(t) increases and the factor is 49. f(t) increases by a factor of 49.
