Answer:
an=1*2.5^(n-1)
=2.5^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question below:
What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio? Lena is asked to write an explicit formula for the graphed geometric sequence. On a coordinate plane, 3 points are plotted. The points are (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).
Solution
Point (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).
a=1
ar=2.5
ar^2=6.25
From ar and ar^2
r=6.25/2.5
=2.5
r=2.5
an=ar^(n-1)
Therefore, the explicit formula is
an=1*2.5^(n-1)
=2.5^(n-1)

Answer: Non proportional</h3>
Proportional equations are of the form y = kx, for some fixed constant k. The k value is the constant of proportionality.
The +100 at the end is why we don't have a proportional equation.
Visually all proportional equations go through the origin, meaning the lines have y intercept of 0. For y = 230x+100, the y intercept is 100.
Quadratic in equality is quadratic function that is compared to another function like: x^2+4x-1<2x-3. the answer for x must comply to both sides.
