Answer:
The y-intercept of the line is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You could try to find the slope of the line and then find the intercept with y axis by sloving b = y - ax
But here it seems easy enough once you see that the x values in the table increase by a factor of 8 and the y values in the table increase by a factor of 20.
(By the way, this is enough to give you the slope, because it is 8/20 ). But why bother?
Just extrapolate the table to the left, and you will find the y value where x = 0
x 0 8 16 24 32
y 2 22 44 64 84
So the y-intercept of the line is 2.
Extra:
The full equation of the line is:
y = 8/20x + 2
The original functions are: f(n) = 500 and g(n) = [9/10]^(n-1)
A geometric sequence combining them is: An = f(n)*g(n) = 500*[9/10]^(n-1):
Some terms are:
A1= 500
A2 = 500*[9/10]
A3 = 500*[9/10]^2
A4 = 500*[9/10]^3
....
A11 = 500*[9/10]^10 ≈ 174.339
Answer: the third option, An = 500[9/10]^(n-1); A11 = 174.339
A bit confusing for me to be able to answer this for you… any way you can simplify your question?
8.03 times 10^5 or
8.03e+05
