Answer:
The answer choice is B
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for a function to work, the input value must go with only one output value, so the only one that work is b
Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
thus

set the derivative to 0, and check the critical points, there's only one anyway
and do a first-derivative test, to see if it's a maximum
The area is 18 units squared, I believe.
a.
In order to find the common ratio, we just need to divide a term by the term that comes before it.
So using the terms 20 and -5, we have:

b.
The recursive rule can be found with the formula:

Where an is the nth term and q is the ratio. So we have:

c.
The explicit rule can be written as:

Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term and q is the ratio. So:
Answer:
B. -19/25
Step-by-step explanation:
You are looking for an answer that is greater than -4/5 (which is equal to -0.80) but less than -3/4 (which is equal to -0.75). So, you can easily convert the fractions to decimals by dividing.
-33/50 = -0.66, which is greater than -0.75, so it can be eliminated.
-19/25 = -0.76, which fits our parameters, so it is the answer.
-19/20 = -0.95, which is less than -0.80, so it can be eliminated.
-7/10 = -0.70, which is greater than -0.75, so it can be eliminated.
