Answer:
- geometric sequence with initial value 20 and common ratio 1/2
- average rate of change on [1, 3] = -7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The given points have sequential values of x and values of y that are each 1/2 the value before. The common ratio tells us the sequence is a geometric sequence.
(b) The first given point is (2, 10), so extrapolating backward, we determine the previous point to be ...
... (2-1, 10/(1/2)) = (1, 20)
Thus, we have enough information to determine the average slope between n=1 and n=3.
... (difference in y)/(difference in n) = (5 -20)/(3 -1) = -15/2 = -7.5
As per the problem,
Rhonda bought a new laptop for $800.
The laptop depreciates, or loses, 20% of its value each year.
The value of the laptop at a later time can be found using the formula
Here we have
P=$800
r=20%=0.20
t=2 years
Substitute the values in equation (1) we get
The laptop be worth in two years will be $512.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find out how wide his shelf is in inches. 2.25*12=27. So his shelf is 27 inches wide. Then divide that by 2.25 to find the number of encyclopedias will fit.
Answer:
x < 3 and x > -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides.
Step 2: Solve absolute value.
- We know x - 1 < 2 and x - 1 > -2.
Condition 1:
Condition 2:
Therefore, the answer is x < 3 and x > -1.
