Answer:
A. Initial value 12, rate of change -2
Step-by-step explanation:
We note that the x-values in the table go up by 1 and the y-values go down by 2. That "down by 2" for "up by 1" is the rate of change: -2/1 = -2.
If we extend the table upward one more row, we have x=0 and y=12. That is, the "initial value" is 12.
The initial value is 12; the rate of change is -2.
3^3 the answer is the first one with the exponent 3
F(4) = 7+4(4-1)
f(4) = 7+4(3)
f(4) = 7+12
f(4) = 19
The forth term is 19
f(40) = 7+4(40-1)
f(40) = 7+4(39)
f(40) = 7+156
f(40) = 163
The fortieth term is 163
