Answer: Choice B

a_n = 10(1/2)^(n-2) is the nth term

average rate of change = -35/3

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

Explanation:

Each time x increases by 1, y is cut in half. For instance, going from (2,10) to (3,5) shows this.

If we want to go in reverse, decreasing x by 1 will double the y value. So (1,20) is another point and (0,40) is another. We'll be using (0,40) and (3,5) because we want the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 3. I'm using x in place of n here.

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through (0,40) and (3,5)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (5-40)/(3-0)

m = -35/3

The negative slope means the line goes downhill as you read it from left to right. The average rate of change from n = 0 to n = 3 is -35/3

The nth term of this geometric sequence is 20(1/2)^(n-1) since 20 is the first term (corresponds to n = 1) and 1/2 is the common ratio. Your teacher has done a bit of algebraic manipulation to change the n-1 into n-2. This means the 20 has to change to 10 to counterbalance.

In other words, 20(1/2)^(n-1)  is equivalent to 10(1/2)^(n-2) when n starts at n = 1.

Can someone explain to me what rate of change is and how you figure it out.
Cloud [144]

ROC is often used when speaking about momentum, and it can generally be expressed as a ratio between a change in one variable relative to a corresponding change in another; graphically, the rate of change is represented by the slope of a line.

Volgvan
It the fourt day the total is 0.70 because
Day one: .10
Day two: you double it so .20
Day three: you double it again so .40
Day four: you add .30 so .70 is the total

Which is the slope of the graph of the equation below? X - y = 5
icang [17]

First, make it into slope intercept form. Subtract x form both sides

x (-x) - y = 5 (-x)

-y = -x + 5

Isolate the y. Divide -1 from both sides

(-y)/-1 = (-x + 5)/-1

y = x - 5

The slope in the form: y = mx + b, is m, which is next to the x

In this case, the m is 1

You're slope is 1

hope this helps
