Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b = -1 and a = -3
The average rate of change =
f(b) = f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2
f(a) = f(-3) = 3(-3)^2 - 5 =27 - 5 = 22
f(b) - f(a) = -2 - 22 = -24
b - a = -1 + 3 = 2
= -24/2 = -12
Answer:
a₆ = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is
r = =
=
= -
This indicates the sequence is geometric.
To obtain any term in the sequence, multiply the previous term by r, thus
a₅ = 216 × - = - 36
a₆ = - 36 × - = 6
