To determine end behavior, we only have to look at the leading term.
First, the leading term is positive, so we won't have to negate anything.
The leading term has a power that is odd.
Since the exponent is odd, this means that the function goes to positive infinity as x goes to positive infinity.
This also means that the function goes to negative infinity as x goes to negative infinity.
Those are the end behaviors.
Have an awesome day! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The summation formula ( arithmetic sequence when the first terme is : A1 = 13
and the coomo diff is d= -4
Sn = n/2(A1 +An)
An = A1+(n-1)d
An = 13 +(n-1)(-4)
An = -4n +17
Sn = n/2(13+17-4n) = n/2(30-4n)
Sn = -2n² +15n
in this exercice : n =4 S4 = -2(4)² +15(4) = -32+60 = 28
verify : 13 + 9 + 5 + 1 =28 ......right
Very nice handwriting but the math and English are confusing.
Let's assume we're told
The subscript is important.
I think we're told the similar sum with 11 gives the smallest possible value for the sum. This is a rather cagey way of telling us 11 is the mean of the nine points. The mean is the number which minimizes the sum of squared deviations.
If 11 is the mean, the sum of the points is 9(11)=99.
Answer: 1080
If you have to add them these means there is no equal sing meaning you dont have to find q just add them and thats it, so add common like terms which are 6q and q and 1 and 11 to get 7q+12
Hope this helps
