Answer:
- geometric sequence with initial value 20 and common ratio 1/2
- average rate of change on [1, 3] = -7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The given points have sequential values of x and values of y that are each 1/2 the value before. The common ratio tells us the sequence is a geometric sequence.
(b) The first given point is (2, 10), so extrapolating backward, we determine the previous point to be ...
... (2-1, 10/(1/2)) = (1, 20)
Thus, we have enough information to determine the average slope between n=1 and n=3.
... (difference in y)/(difference in n) = (5 -20)/(3 -1) = -15/2 = -7.5
We have been given that Mr. Luis wants to sell his house. The state he lives in charges a 3.5% sales tax on the sale of a house. The county charges a 3.9% sales tax, and the city charges a 2.2% sales tax.
We are asked to find the total tax, if Mr Luis sells his home for $122,500.
To find total tax, we will add all tax rates as they are being applied to same base.
Now we will find 9.6% of $122,500 to find total tax bill.
Therefore, the total tax bill of Mr. Luis would be 
.
-11 divided by 4 and -11/4
Hello!
First off, please write y2 + y as y^2 + y. The " ^ " symbol denotes exponentiation, whereas y2 is meaningless.
To find the constant term in question, take half of the coefficient of y (that is, take 1/2) and square it. Then we have y2 + y + 1/4.
The constant term in question is 1/4.
