Answer:

b_n=-18\cdot 4^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first term in a sequence is b_1=-18 and each term after the first is 4 times the preceding term, then the second term is

b_2=b_1\cdot 4=-18\cdot 4,

the third term is

b_3=b_2\cdot 4=-18\cdot 4\cdot 4=-18\cdot 4^2,

the fourth term is

b_4=b_3\cdot 4=-18\cdot 4^2\cdot 4=-18\cdot 4^3,

...

the nth term is

b_n=b_{n-1}\cdot 4=...=b_1\cdot 4^{n-1}=-18\cdot 4^{n-1}

P and W are twice-differentiable functions with P(7)=2(W(7)). The line y=9+2.5(x-7) is tangent to the graph of P at x=7. The lin
fiasKO [112]

Using the product rule, we have

m(x) = x W(x) \implies m'(x) = xW'(x) + W(x)

so that

m'(7) = 7W'(7) + W(7)

The equation of the tangent line to <em>W(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 7 has all the information we need to determine <em>m'</em> (7).

When <em>x</em> = 7, the tangent line intersects with the graph of <em>W(x)</em>, and

<em>y</em> = 4.5 + 2 (7 - 7)   ==>   <em>y</em> = 4.5

means that this intersection occurs at the point (7, 4.5), and this in turn means <em>W</em> (7) = 4.5.

The slope of this tangent line is 2, so <em>W'</em> (7) = 2.

Then

m'(7) = 7\cdot2 + 4.5 = \boxed{18.5}
