Answer:
(no change)
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the average rate of change of a function
over the interval
is equal to
:

Hence, the average rate of change of the function
over the interval
is
, or no change.
Answer:
<u>After a 75% increase, it would become</u>
x + 75%x = x + 0.75x = x(1 + 0.75) = 1.75x
<u>After a 50% decrease, it would become</u>
1.75x - 50%(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.5(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.875x = 0.875x = 
Because
is less than x, the new amount would be less than the original.
This is not an arithmetic sequence.
It does not go up or down by the same amount each time.
It is a geometric sequence
it is multiplied by 5 each time
-4a - 6 = -12
-4a = -12 + 6
-4a = -6
a = -6/-4
a = 6/4
a = 3/2
a = 1 1/2
The answer is c
