The coefficient 6 represents the price for an hour of bike rental.
It might be the first one or the second one. i said MIGHT!!
This is a geometric sequence of the form:
a(n)=(x+3)(-2x)^(n-1) because each term is -2x times the previous term...so
a(8)=(x+3)(-128x^7)
a(8)=-128x^8-384x^7
A point that bisects a segment would be its midpoint. This is a case where the vocabulary (bisect as opposed to midpoint) makes it harder.
To find the midpoint, we use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is:
midpoint = (x₁ + x₂/2, y₁ + y/2). To find it, you add the x coordinates and then divide them by 2. Repeat for the y coordinates.
x: (-2 + 6)/2 = 4/2 = 2
y: (5 +1)/2 = 6/2 = 3
Thus the point B bisecting AC is at (2, 3).
