Sequence: -4, 8, -16
rate of increase: -16/8 = -2
If you make A1 the first term in the sequence you must use (n-1) in the explicit formula. If you go backwards in the sequence to find A0 = 2 then you would use n.
The don't have A0 = 2 listed as an option so we use A1 = -4 and (n-1) terms.
An = -4(-2)^(n-1)
Solving for the 5th term A5, use n = 5
A5 = -4(-2)^(5-1)
A5 = -4(16)
A5 = -64
So the answer is B.
Answer:
The graph is positive and decreasing for all real values of x where x < -1
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
The function is a vertical parabola open up
The roots (x-intercepts) are x=3 and x=-1
The vertex is the point (1,-4 ) is a minimum
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
we know that
In the interval (-∞,-1) ---> the function is positive and decreasing
In the interval (-1,1) ---> the function is negative and decreasing
In the interval (1,3) ---> the function is negative and increasing
In the interval (3,∞) ---> the function is positive and increasing
therefore
The graph is positive and decreasing for all real values of x where x < -1
