Answer:
- geometric sequence with initial value 20 and common ratio 1/2
- average rate of change on [1, 3] = -7.5
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
Answer: 1) 
2) 55 points
Step-by-step explanation:
1) A= 8w + 18, w=1.25
A = 8(1.25) + 18
A = 10 + 18
A = 28ft^2
2) 25 points to start with, additional 5 points per magazine they sell, m = number of magazines they sell
total points = 25 + 5m
How many if they sell 6?
total = 25 + 5(6)
= 25 + 30
total = 55
C. Above the dashed line.
It becomes:
y > 1/2x +3/2
