Compare the equation, y = 9x - 4x2, the graph below, and the table below. Which has the steepest rate of change from x = 1 to x = 2, and what is its value? x-1,1,2,3 y 0,2,0,-4

A. graph, - 1 B. table, - 1/2 C. equation, - 3 D. equation, - 1/3

The correct answer to this question is C. equation, - 3

The equation is

y = 9x - 4x^2

y = - 4x^2 + 9x

y = - x (4x - 9)

The steepest rate of change from x = 1 to x = 2

x = - 1; y = 0

x = 1; y = 2

x = 2; y = 0

x = 3; y = - 4

So, based from the table show, the steepest rate of change is C. equation, - 3
