Hi there!
There are 3 parts to this equation:
f(x)
f(x+1)
4f(x)
We must first determine these three parts separately.
<u>1) f(x)</u>
We're given that 
:
⇒ :
<u>2) f(x+1)</u>
Now, we must find f(x+1). To do so, add 1 to x in the original function :
⇒ 
<u>3) 4f(x)</u>
To find 4f(x), multiply the original function by 4:
:
<u>4) Put it all together</u>
Now, plug each of the three parts into the equation :
Factor the left side
Divide both sides by 3^x
Because this equation is true, is therefore true.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
8.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
You read scientific notation by moving the decimal that amount of spaces next the the 10
1.263 * 10^3
You move the decimal over 3 places
1.263 * 10^3 = 1263
The answer is 1.263 * 10^3
Hope this helps!
Answer: Choice B
a_n = 10(1/2)^(n-2) is the nth term
average rate of change = -35/3
=======================================================
Explanation:
Each time x increases by 1, y is cut in half. For instance, going from (2,10) to (3,5) shows this.
If we want to go in reverse, decreasing x by 1 will double the y value. So (1,20) is another point and (0,40) is another. We'll be using (0,40) and (3,5) because we want the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 3. I'm using x in place of n here.
Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through (0,40) and (3,5)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (5-40)/(3-0)
m = -35/3
The negative slope means the line goes downhill as you read it from left to right. The average rate of change from n = 0 to n = 3 is -35/3
The nth term of this geometric sequence is 20(1/2)^(n-1) since 20 is the first term (corresponds to n = 1) and 1/2 is the common ratio. Your teacher has done a bit of algebraic manipulation to change the n-1 into n-2. This means the 20 has to change to 10 to counterbalance.
In other words, 20(1/2)^(n-1) is equivalent to 10(1/2)^(n-2) when n starts at n = 1.
