Answer:
- geometric sequence with initial value 20 and common ratio 1/2
- average rate of change on [1, 3] = -7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The given points have sequential values of x and values of y that are each 1/2 the value before. The common ratio tells us the sequence is a geometric sequence.
(b) The first given point is (2, 10), so extrapolating backward, we determine the previous point to be ...
... (2-1, 10/(1/2)) = (1, 20)
Thus, we have enough information to determine the average slope between n=1 and n=3.
... (difference in y)/(difference in n) = (5 -20)/(3 -1) = -15/2 = -7.5
Answer:
(0, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point lies on the line x = 0.
The point lies on the line y = 1.
Where both lines intersect, that is the coordinate.
(x, y)
(0, 1)
Sides, or lengths and widths
In the first series, the summation applies to the whole (2n+3) inside
the parentheses, so the 3 gets summed up 5 times.
But in the second one, the summation only applies to the 2n , so
the 3 is only added after the summation is finished.
The difference between five 3s the first time and one 3 the second time
is your 12 .
