First two are the explanation and the last one is the answer :)
<span>a1= (which is the first term.)
to find the 2nd term you plug in 2 for (an) in the formula given to you. =-4(2-1)^2 *remember an represents the term u are looking for *
now you start to solve it
-4(2-1)^2
-4 (1)^2
.
-4^2
= 16
so your first two terms are 2 and 16 .</span>
The change in growth was 14 - 0.5 = 13.5 inches.
Since it is over the course of 5 weeks, divide 13.5 by 5.
13.5/5 = 2.7
2.7 = 270%
The rate of change was 270%. Hope this helps!
