Answer:

The required sequence is a_n=20(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}. The average rate of change from n = 1 to n = 3 is -7.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph it is clear that the sequence is a GP because the all terms are half of their previous terms.

Here, a_2=10,a_3=5,a_4=2.5,a_5=1.25

r=\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}

The common ratio of GP is 1/2.

r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{10}{a_1}

a_1=20

The first term of the sequence is 20.

The formula for sequence is

a_n=a(r)^{n-1}

Where a is first term and r is common difference.

The required sequence is

a_n=20(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

The formula for rate of change is

m=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

The average rate of change from n = 1 to n = 3 is

m=\frac{f(3)-f(1)}{3-1}

m=\frac{5-20}{3-1}

m=\frac{-15}{2}=-7.5

Therefore the required sequence is a_n=20(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}. The average rate of change from n = 1 to n = 3 is -7.5.

Answer:

y = 20*(1/2)^(n-1)

average rate of change = -7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph, the point (1, 20) is missing.

This kind of plot in which every value of the function is a half of the previous one (10, 5, 2.5, 1.25) has the next form: y = a*(1/2)^(n-1). From here is deduced that for n = 1, y = 20, so that, for the next n-value (2), y = 20/2 = 10.  

Replacing n = 1  in the formula gives:

y = a*(1/2)^(1-1)

y = a = 20

So,  y = 20*(1/2)^(n-1)

The average rate of change from n = 1 to n = 3 is calculated taking into account y-values at those n-values, as follows:

average rate of change = (y3 - y1)/(n3 - n1) =  (5 - 20)/(3 - 1) = -7.5

It coincides with the slope of the line which intercepts those points.

Reptile [31]

We know, 1 ounce = 29.57 ml

so, 64 ounces = 1892.71 ml

so, remaining drink would be: 1892.71-700 = 1192.71 ml

Oliver took a taxi from his house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$4.70 + $4.75m = $18.95 which is 3 miles in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

First make the numbers without the variables on one side.

4.75m = 18.95-4.70

Then subtract.

4.75m = 14.25

Finally divide the two numbers.

14.25 ÷ 4.75 = 3 miles

Answer:  m = 3  or 3 miles
