Answer: as a number?
Step-by-step explanation:
Be a little more specific
Plug in 3 for f(x)
f(3)=(3)²+7
f(3)=9+7
f(3)=16
Hoped this helped!
Answer:
Good job! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
I guess you are asking to find the sum of the first 8 terms. If so, then:
Sum = a₁(1-rⁿ)/(1-r), where a₁ is the 1st term, r=common ratio and n=number of terms:
the 1st term a₁ =3
common ratio r = - 2 (since -6/3 = - 2, and 12/-6 = - 2, etc.)
Sum = 3[(1- (-2)⁸]/(1-2) = 3(1- 256)/(1/2)
Sum = -1530
If you were to find a steep slope you have to look at its vertical movement. If it were greater then it is steep.
