Answer:
linear function growth rate: 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth rate of the linear function is the coefficient of t: 8.5. (It is a constant.)
__
The growth rate of g(t) is its derivative: g'(t) = (1/8)(160e^(t/8)) = 20e^(t/8). Then the relative growth rate is ...
g'(t)/g(t) = (20e^(t/8))/(160e^(t/8)) = 20/160 = 1/8
It is a constant.
