Answer:

C


Step-by-step explanation:

The constant ratio of successive y-values will be the ratio of the "next term" to the "previous term".

It is given by the formula:

constant ratio = [tex]\frac{t_{n+1}}{t_n}[/tex]

  • Where [tex]t_{n+1}[/tex] is the next term, and
  • [tex]t_n[/tex] is the term before it

So we can compute:

[tex]\frac{12}{8}=1.5[/tex], or

[tex]\frac{18}{12}=1.5[/tex], or

[tex]\frac{27}{18}=1.5[/tex], or

[tex]\frac{40.5}{27}=1.5[/tex]


The constant ratio of successive y-values is 1.5

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer i.e. 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table represents an exponential function. It says to find the constant ratio of successive y-values.

It means R = y₂/y₁ = y₃/y₂ = y₄/y₃ = y₅/y₄

y₂/y₁ = 12/8 = 3/2

y₃/y₂ = 18/12 = 3/2

y₄/y₃ = 27/18 = 3/2

y₅/y₄ = 40.5/27 = 3/2

So, R = 12/8 = 18/12 = 27/18 = 40.5/27

R = 3/2

R = 1.5

Hence, constant ratio is R = 1.5
