Lesson 264 of 1524
5.10 Looking at Rates of Change
In particular, the focus for this activity was on how exponential functions have different rates of change for different input intervals, which is not the case for linear functions
Practice this chapterIn particular, the focus for this activity was on how exponential functions have different rates of change for different input intervals, which is not the case for linear functions This time, you focused on a previously encountered exponential decay context
Let p be the function that gives the cost p ( t ) , in dollars, of producing 1 watt of solar energy t years after 1977.
Be able to calculate the average rate of change of a function over a specified period of time; recognize how the average rate of change of an exponential function differs from that of a linear function.
Worked example
What does this chapter state?
- 1In particular, the focus for this activity was on how exponential functions have different rates of change for different input intervals, which is not the case for linear functions
- 2That claim is the chapter’s own statement.
- 3Answer from the claim, not from where the chapter sits in the book.
Result: In particular, the focus for this activity was on how exponential functions have different rates of change for different input intervals, which is not the case for linear functions
