Answer:
a) 75/3=25/1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
We know that the multiplicative rate of change of a function is the number by which each next term of an exponential function is increasing or decreasing. We can find multiplicative rate of change by dividing any term of the function by its previous term.
Answer:
0.3kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the weight of 120 books is 36kg, the weight per book will be:
= 36kg / 120
= 0.3kg
Answer:
b. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we test a solution or two, we can easily discard most of them.
We see the values alternate of signs (-5 for the 2nd term and +162 for the 5th term)... so the progression factor has to be negative (in order to alternate sign). <u>That already excludes answers A and C.</u>
Normally, a geometric progression has the (n-1) exponent, not (n+1), so our chances seem to be better with B.
We can test both D and B with n = 2, to obtain -6
Let's test answer D before:

The result is -54, not -6... so it's not the right result.
Let's test answer B then:

Right! Let's verify with n=5 to get 162:

Confirmed, answer is B. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
The answer is b because if you multiply 3 with m you get 3m and since -2 is a negative when you multiply it, it becomes -6
