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
The formula of the line is
y=mx + b
The likes goes through the point (0,0)
that means that y-int = 0, b=0
y=mx
So we need to find only slope.
y=mx + b
The likes goes through the point (0,0)
that means that y-int = 0, b=0
y=mx
So we need to find only slope.
