How does f(x)=5x change over the interval from x=1 to x=3?Choices:f(x) decreases by a factor of 10f(x) increases by 10%f(x) increases by a factor of 25f(x) increases by a factor of 10
Q. How does f(x)=5x change over the interval from x=1 to x=3?Choices:f(x) decreases by a factor of 10f(x) increases by 10%f(x) increases by a factor of 25f(x) increases by a factor of 10
Given function: We have: f(x)=5x Find the value of f(1). Substitute x=1 in f(x)=5x. f(1)=51=5
Find f(1): We have: f(x)=5x Find the value of f(3). Substitute x=3 in f(x)=5x. f(3)=53=125
Find f(3): We found: f(1)=5f(3)=125 Calculate the factor of increase. Factor = f(1)f(3)=5125=25
Calculate factor: Change: f(3)/f(1)=25 Is f(x) increasing or decreasing? The value of f(x) increases from 5 to 125. So, f(x) increases.
Behavior of f(x): We found: Change: factor of 25 Behavior of f(x): increases How does f(x)=5x change from x=1 to x=3? We found that f(x) increases and the factor is 25. f(x) increases by a factor of 25.
