X=1 y =2 check your answer a by plugging that in so 1 +2 times 2 = 5 5 times 1 -2 = 3 you just have to find what numbers work
Hello,
Part A:
f(2)=4*2²=16
f(1)=4*2^1=8
2-1=1
(f(2)-f(1))/(2-1)=(16-8)/1=8 ; r_1=8
f(3)=4*2^3=32
f(4)=4*2^4=64
(f(4)-f(3))/(4-3)=(64-32)/1=32 ; r_2=32
Part B:
r_2=32=4*8=4*r_1
Explainations:
(4*2^2-4*2^1)/(2-1)=4*2^1(2-1)=4*2
(4*2^4-4*2^3)/(4-3)=4*2^3*(2-1)=4*8=(4*2)*4
So the proportion would go as follows
5.5. 7.5
=
4.5. 60
To solve this you just cross muliply and divide.
I hope this helps you
