<h3>
Answer: Choice C</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
For choice C, the x values are out of order, so it might be tricky at first. I recommend sorting the x values from smallest to largest to get -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. Do the same for the y values as well. Make sure the correct y values stay with their x value pairs. You should get the list of y values to be 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4
Check out the attached image below for the sorted table I'm referring to
We can see the list of y values is going down as x increases. This is a good sign we have decay. Further proof is that we multiply each term by 1/2 to get the next one
4 times 1/2 = 2
2 times 1/2 = 1
1 times 1/2 = 1/2
1/2 times 1/2 = 1/4
and so on. Effectively we can say the decay rate is 50%
Answer:
a) x = 2
b) x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a = (b₁ + b₂)/2 * h
----------------------------
a)
48 = (10 + x)/2 * 8
Divide both sides by 8
6 = (10 + x)/2
multiply both sides by 2
12 = 10 + x
Subtract 10 from both sides
2 = x
x = 2
---------------------------------
b)
18 = (7 + 2)/2 * x
18 = 4.5 * x
divide both sides by 4.5
4 = x
x = 4
