Question

what is the multiplicative rate of change of the exponential function represented in the table?1.52.253.04.5| x | y || ---- | ---- || 1 | 4.5 || 2 | 6.75 || 3 | 10.125 || 4 | 15.1875 |

Explanation:

Step1: Divide y2 by y1

$\frac{6.75}{4.5} = 1.5$

Step2: Verify with next y values

$\frac{10.125}{6.75} = 1.5$, $\frac{15.1875}{10.125} = 1.5$

Answer:

1.5
