Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello

$a_1=18\\\\a_2=2+\dfrac{a_1}{2}=2+\dfrac{18}{2}=2+9=11\\\\a_3=2+\dfrac{a_2}{2}=2+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{4+11}{2}=\dfrac{15}{2}\\\\a_4=2+\dfrac{a_3}{2}=2+\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{4+15}{2}=\dfrac{19}{2}$

hope this helps

How do you solve each absolute value by graphing

saw5 [17]

Your question answers itself. You solve by graphing.

I like to subtract one side of the equation from the other, so the solutions are where the graph crosses the x-axis (the resulting function value is zero).

It can be useful to find the "turning point" of each absolute value expression (where its value is zero) and graph that and some points on either side.

Answer:

The answer to your question is the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

See the picture below

a) In the picture we observe that the parabola was narrowed not widened, so this option is incorrect.

b) From the picture, we conclude that the graph was shifted right 2 units, not four, so this option is incorrect.

c) From the picture, we observe that this option is the correct one.

d) We observe in the picture that this graph was not reflected so this option is incorrect.
