Explanation:
f(x) = 4x
f(x) = -16
f(x) = 4x
f(x) = -4
f(x) = 4x
f(x) = 4
When x= 1, So f(x) = 4
f(x) = 4x
f(x) = 16
When x= 4, So f(x) = 16
f(x) = 4x

1. Compare the following functions to determine which has a greater rate of change.
Function 1: y = 3x + 5
Function 2:
x -2 0 4
y -4 -2 2
Explanation:
The equation of a straight line is y = mx +b
Slope is the rate of change. The coefficient of x is the slope of the line.
The slope of function number 1 is 3; given in the question.
Calculate the slope of function number 2:
Using the first two points: (-2, -4) and (0, -2)
Slope = y2 – y1
x2 – x1

Explanation:
C represents the total cost; the fixed charge is a single $25.
The rate of change is $90 and depends on the number of days so it is
changeable and can be represented by d.
Putting it all together, the expression for the cost in dollars is:
c = 90d + 25
