Kevin writes the population of his city in the form a \times 10^5. He also writes the average income of the people in his city in the form b \times 10^4. To find the total income for all the people in his city, he multiplies his two values. Kevin says his product will be of the form c \times 10^9 when written in scientific notation. Which statement explains whether Kevin is correct?

Kevin is correct only if ab<10

Kevin is correct only if a+b<10

Kevin is not correct because the exponents are subtracted when multiplying powers with the same base, and 5-4=1.

Kevin is not correct because the exponents are multiplied when multiplying powers with the same base, and 5 \times 4=20.

Two functions are represented by the graph and table below.
Which statement about the rate of change for the two functions is true?

The rate for function 1 is greater because \frac{3}{2} > \frac{2}{3}.

The rate for function 2 is greater because \frac{3}{2} > \frac{2}{3}.

The rate for function 1 is greater because it has a greater y-intercept.

The rate for function 2 is greater because it has a greater x-intercept.
