<h3>Answer:  15</h3>

===============================================

Work Shown:

d = common difference

p = first term = 24

q = second term = a+d = 24+d

r = third term = q+d = 24+d+d = 24+2d = 6

------------

Solve for d

24+2d = 6

2d = 6-24

2d = -18

d = -18/2

d = -9

We add -9 to each term to get the next term. This is the same as subtracting 9 from each term to get the next term.

------------

First term = 24

Second term = 24-9 = 15

Third term = 15-9 = 6

We get the sequence 24, 15, 6

Which of the following describes the end behavior of<br> f(x) = (1/2)^x
NARA [144]

Answer:

as x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches 0

as x approaches -infinity, f(x) approaches infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

we can observe that 1/2 < 1 and since it's being exponentiated, the f(x) gets smaller and smaller as x gets bigger.

For example, f(0) = 1, f(1) = 1/2, f(2) = 1/4

so, as x approaches an infinitely large number, f(x) gets closer and closer to zero.

this is the opposite as x approaches a negatively large number. following exponential rules, 1/2^(x) = 2^x for all x < 0. therefore as x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches infinity.

in this case, f(-1) = 2, f(2) = 4, f(3) = 8
