5. the numbers are being multiplied by 4 each time, so the geometric sequence would be

an= 1/2(4) ^(n-1)

6. the numbers are being multiplied by 1/4 each time, so the geometric sequence would be

an= 32(1/4)^(n-1)

an in the formula is what ever term in the sequence.
32 or 1/2 is the a which is the first term in the sequence.
4 or 1/4 is the r in the sequence because it is the common ratio so what the equation was multiplied by to get the next term.
(n-1) is because when you are using this equation to solve for whatever term (an) you must subtract the first number in the sequence to get an accurate number

an you can input whatever number when trying to solve.

A) what is average rate of change of f(x) over the interval from x=5 to x=9? (table shows values of f(x). graph shows function o

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

See below for answers and explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The average rate of change of a function over the interval $[a,b]$ is equal to $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$ , hence:

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\\\\\frac{f(9)-f(5)}{9-5}\\\\\frac{14-(-4)}{9-5}\\ \\\frac{14+4}{4}\\ \\\frac{18}{4}\\ \\\frac{9}{2}$

Therefore, the average rate of change of $f(x)$ over the interval $[5,9]$ is $\frac{9}{2}$ .

Part B

Do the same thing as in Part A:

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\\ \\\frac{f(1)-f(0.25)}{1-0.25}\\ \\\frac{2-5}{0.75}\\ \\\frac{-3}{0.75}\\ \\-4$

Therefore, the average rate of change of $g(x)$ over the interval $[0.25,1]$ is $-4$ .

Part C

To interpret our answer from Part B in terms of the real world it represents, we say that between 0.25 seconds and 1 second, the ball falls at a rate of 4 feet per second (since our average rate of change is negative).

FinnZ [79.3K]

Frist we need to find the mean of both so

1.55

2.67

then we make a number graph and see how mant place does it take to get to them from 0 67and55/by them selfs = 1.2(rounded)

Maya ran a 100-yd sprint. How many feet did she sprint? I think the answer is 33.3 but i just wanted to clarify?

nydimaria [60]

Yeah it’s 33.3 because there 3 feet in a yard and 100 divided by 3 is 33.3 repeating.
