The function f(x) = 830(1.2)x represents the number of students enrolled at a university x years after it was founded. Each year, the number of students is the number the year before.

1.2 times or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function ; f(x) = 830(1.2)^x

This is an exponential function ;

Recall the general form of an exponential function ; f(x) = ab^x ;

Where a = Initial value ; b = growth rate

Hence, b = 1.2

Also, b = 1 + r

1.2 = 1 + r

r = 1.2 - 1

r = 0.2

r = 0.2 * 100% = 20%

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
