Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the inequality
|x|> 1
The modulus of x shows that x can be both positive and negative value.
If x is positive:
x>1
1<x
If x is negative:
-x>1
Multiplying both sides of the inequality by minus will change the inequality sign
x < -1
Combining both inequalities:
1<x<-1

Answer:
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
