Answer: Choice C) 5

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

Step 1) Draw a vertical line through -1 on the x axis. This vertical line crosses through the point (-1,-5) which is a point on the hyperbola.

Step 2) Draw a vertical line through 1 on the x axis. This line crosses the hyperbola at (1,5).

Step 3) Find the slope of the line through the two points (-1,-5) and (1,5) using the slope formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (5 - (-5))/(1 - (-1))
m = (5 + 5)/(1 + 1)
m = 10/2
m = 5

The slope of the line is 5. This is the same as saying the average rate of change is 5. The average rate of change is over the interval [-1,1] which is the same as the interval -1 <= x <= 1

A rugby team played six games.

Schach [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

mean score means the sum of all 6 scores divided by the number of games : 6.

sum6/6 = 15

sum6 = 15×6 = 90

(sum6 + x)/7 = 16

sum6 + x = 16×7 = 112

90 + x = 112

x = 22

they scored 22 points in the 7th game.

4. a) A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If t

First part of question:

Find the general term that represents the situation in terms of k.

The general term for geometric series is:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{1}$ = the first term of the series

$r$ = the geometric ratio

$a_{1}$ would represent the height at which the ball is first dropped. Therefore:

$a_{1} = k$

We also know that the ball has a rebound ratio of 75%, meaning that the ball only bounces 75% of its original height every time it bounces. This appears to be our geometric ratio. Therefore:

$r=\frac{3}{4}$
