"When the radicand equals zero" is the one among the following choices given in the question that you can tell when <span>a quadratic equation has two identical, rational solutions. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the fourth option or option "d". I hope the answer has helped you.</span>
Easy peasy
the average rate of change in section A is the slope from (1,g(1)) to (2,g(2))
the average rate of chagne in section B is the slope from (3,g(3)) to (4,g(4))
A.
section A
g(1)=4(3)^1=12
g(2)=4(3)^2=4(9)=36
slope=(36-12)/(2-1)=24/1=24
section B
g(3)=4(3)^3=4(27)=108
g(4)=4(3)^4=4(81)=324
slope=(324-108)/(4-3)=216/1=216
section A has an average rate of change of 24
section B has an average rate of change of 216
So, we know the sum of the first 17 terms is -170, thus S₁₇ = -170, and we also know the first term is 2, well

well, since the 17th term is that much, let's check what "d" is then anyway,
An example of a ratio would be:
1:2
3:4
5:6
An example of a proportion would be:
1/2
3/4
5/6
Hope this helps!
