Answer:
The answers are...:
The common ratio is -3
the sequence of the function is 2,-6, 18, -54, 162
and
the sequence of the function model is geometric
I hope this helps ^^"
Step-by-step explanation:
the common ratio is just from the -3 itself
the sequence model is just plugging n for every term so
a(1) would equal to 2, a(2)=-6 , a(3) would equal to -18, etc
and the geometric is bc it has the exponential that has (n-1), thus it is a geometric sequence
Answer:
f(x) = 54(two-thirds) Superscript x minus 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
First peak : 36 / 54=2/3
Second peak : 24 / 36 = 2/3
The common ratio here is 2/3 ; which mean each bounce height is 2/3 of previous height
Modeling this using geometric progression :
An=a1r^(n-1)
An = nth term of a geometric progression
a1=first term
r=common ratio = 2/3
n = nth term
a1=54
Substituting into the above formular :
An=54(2/3)^(n-1)
-t-3 and 3-t are not the same since t-3 would result in a negative answer since both -t and -3 are negative. While in t-3 t is positive and -3 is negative. it is wrong if its left as t-3 since -t-3=3-t is false.
200+50+4=254 is the answer
