The initial value is 21 and rate of change is 16 pages per week
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that After writing part of his novel, Thomas is now writing 16 pages per week
After 4 weeks, he has written 85 pages.
Given that assume the relationship to be linear
Linear relationships can be expressed either in a graphical format or as a mathematical equation of the form y = mx + c
y = mx + c
where "y" is the number of pages written after 4 weeks
x = 4 weeks and m = 16 pages
Therefore,
85 = 16(4) + c
85 = 64 + c
c = 85 - 64
c = 21
Therefore, initial value is 21 and rate of change is 16 pages per week
*<em>The graph has an asymptote at y = 0 and is increasing as x approaches positive infinity.*</em>

If these are all the side lengths then just multiply all of them together
Answer) 326,400cm^5
1st term = -10
2nd term = -6
3rd term = -2
4th term = 2
5th term = 6
6th term = 10
7th term = 14
The reason how I got 14 for the 7th term is because, i added 4 to each term.
Hope this helps!
