Answer:

a_n = 2^(n - 1) 3^(3 - n)


Step-by-step explanation:

9,6,4,8/3,…

a1 = 3^2

a2 = 3 * 2

a3 = 2^2

As we can see, the 3 ^x is decreasing and the 2^ y is increasing

We need to play with the exponent in terms of n

Lets look at the exponent for the base of 2

a1 = 3^2  2^0

a2 = 3^1   2^1

a3 =    3^ 0 2^2

an =   3^      2^(n-1)

I picked n-1  because that is where it starts  0

 n = 1   (1-1) =0

  n=2   (2-1) =1

  n=3  (3-1) =2

Now we need to figure out the exponent for the 3 base

I will pick (3-n)

n =1  (3-1) =2

n =2  (3-2) =1

n=3    (3-3) =0

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (–1.75, 14.5) and (–1, 4.4). Round to the nearest hundredth if
Feliz [49]

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

Two points are needed through which the line passes:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 1.75; 14.5)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}}: (- 1; 4.4)

Substituting:m = \frac {4.4-14.5} {- 1 - (- 1.75)}\\m = \frac {-10.1} {0.75}\\m = -13.46666666

Rounding:

m = -13.47

Answer:

m = -13.47
