Question

f x = 1.84 x 4 The function f is defined by the given equation. The equation can be rewritten as f x = 1 + p 100 x , where p is a constant. Which of the following is closest to the value of p ?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is correct. The equation f x = 1.84 x 4 can be rewritten as f x = 1.84 1 4 x , which is equivalent to f x = 1.84 1 4 x , or approximately f x = 1.16467 x . Since it's given that f x = 1.84 x 4 can be rewritten as f x = 1 + p 100 x , where p is a constant, it follows that 1 + p 100 is approximately equal to 1.16467 . Therefore, p 100 is approximately equal to 0.16467 . It follows that the value of p is approximately equal to 16.467 . Of the given choices, 16 is closest to the value of p . Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
