<span>A1 is the 1st term r is the difference, they can say "r" or "d" for the difference 1st a1 is the first term = -3 2nd "r" is the difference between each consecutive terms (coming after each other) = 1.5 the rule to get any term of the sequence as we add 1.5 each time is --> a1+(n-1)*d a1 --> 1st term , n --> order of the term u want whether 2nd, 3rd , 25th d --> difference so to get the 2nd--> -3+(2-1)*1.5= -1.5 to get the 3rd --> -3 +(3-1)*1.5 = 0 and so on</span>
Answer: The function is: f(x) = 2*(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be translated to:
"write an equation of a function where a whole number x corresponds to the next number to x"
the next whole number to x is x+1., and we want the double of that.
Then we have that our function is:
f(x) = 2*(x +1)
Now we can do a little table of it:
f(0) = 2*(0 + 1) = 2
f(1) = 2*(1 + 1) = 4
f(2) = 2*(2+ 1) = 6
You need to turn 1/2 to .5 and 3/4 to .75 then you use this equation.
75% * 950,000 (profit)
+ 25% * -285,000 (loss)
<span>= then you subtract the numbers from the separate </span>
<span>= answer --> expected profit from the second mall</span>
