Answer:
I think it's the 3rd one
Step-by-step explanation:
because it makes sense
12 years, use the slope of the line of best fit to find the best estimate for the age of the child.
ex: (3,10), (6,20), (9,30), which means the y value of 40 must be 12.
There are no options, but I would assume that these sequences would be geometric: 16, -8, 4, -2, 1 -15, -18, -21.6, -25.92, -31.104, 625, 125, 25, 5, 1 can possibly be the correct ones.
Let the leading term of the polynomial, f(x), be axⁿ.
Examine the possibilities.
n a x -> - ∞ x -> +∞
------- ---- ----------- ------------
even a>0 f -> +∞ f -> +∞ Not true
even a<0 f-> - ∞ f-> -∞ True
odd a>0 f-> -∞ f-> +∞ Not true
odd a<0 f-> +∞ f-> -∞ Not true
Answer:
(a) the degree of the polynomial is even, and
(b) the coefficient of the leading term is negative.
