Replace X in the equation with the values in the table and calculate:
2X-5:
2(-4) -5 = -8 -5 = -13
2(-2)-5 = -4-5 = -9
2(1)-5 = 2-5 = -3
2(3)-5 = 6-5 = 1
2(5)-5 = 10-5 = 5
4:44 pm but I might be wrong.
A(n)=ar^(n-1) and we can find the rate upon using the ratio of two points...
50/1250=1250r^2/1250r^0
1/25=r^2
r=1/5 so
a(n)=1250(1/5)^1=250
...
You could have also found the geometric mean which is actually quite efficient too...
The geometric mean is equal to the product of a set of elements raised to the 1/n the power where n is the number of multiplicands...in this case:
gm=(1250*50)^(1/2)=250
Choose choice 2, I had the same question!!
