Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is linear; therefore, the slope of the line joining any two points is the same.

We take any two points from the table and compute the slope or rise/ run between them— let is take points (-4, -2) and (-2, -10).

The slope $m$ of the line joining the points is

$m=\dfrac{\Delta y }{\Delta x } =\dfrac{-2-(-10)}{-4-(-2)} \\\\\boxed{m=-4}$

The slope of the function is -4.

Determine the domain and range of the function f(x)= 3x+2. Also, state the intervals where the function f(x)= 3x+ 2 is increasin

aev [14]

Answer:

Increasing on it's domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ because the slope is positive.

The domain and range are both all real numbers, also known as

$(-\infty,\infty)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

All domain really means is what numbers can you plug in and you get number back from your function.

I should be able to plug in any number into 3x+2 and result in a number. There are no restrictions for x on 3x+2.

The domain is all real numbers.

In interval notation that is $(-\infty,\infty)$ .

Now the range is the set of numbers that get hit by y=3x+2.

Well y=3x+2 is a linear function that is increasing. I know it is increasing because the slope is positive 3. I wrote out the positive part because that is the item you focus on in a linear equation to determine if is increasing or decreasing.

If slope is positive, then the line is increasing.

If slope is negative, then the line is decreasing.

So y=3x+2 hits all values of y because it is increasing forever. The range is all real numbers. In interval notation that is $(-\infty,\infty)$ .

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\

r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=4\\
r=6

S_n=4\left( \cfrac{1-6^n}{1-6} \right)\implies S_n=4\left( \cfrac{1-6^n}{-5} \right)$
