In linear models there is a constant additve rate of change. For example, in the equation y = mx + b, m is the constanta additivie rate of change.
In exponential models there is a constant multiplicative rate of change.
The function of the graph seems of the exponential type, so we can expect a constant multiplicative exponential rate.
We can test that using several pair of points.
The multiplicative rate of change is calcualted in this way:
[f(a) / f(b) ] / (a - b)
Use the points given in the graph: (2, 12.5) , (1, 5) , (0, 2) , (-1, 0.8)
[12.5 / 5] / (2 - 1) = 2.5
[5 / 2] / (1 - 0) = 2.5
[2 / 0.8] / (0 - (-1) ) = 2.5
Then, do doubt, the answer is 2.5

Hi there,
The volume of a cube is the edge length cubed:
³
The edge length given is 3 u, so plug into the formula:
³
³
thanks,
As per this theorem the two triangles are congruent if two angles and a side not between these two angles of one triangle are congruent to two corresponding angles and the corresponding side not between the angles of the other triangle.
First, we are going to find the common ratio of our geometric sequence using the formula:
![r= \frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Ba_%7Bn%7D%7D%7Ba_%7Bn-1%7D%7D%20)
. For our sequence, we can infer that
![a_{n}=-20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7Bn%7D%3D-20)
and
![a_{n-1}=4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7Bn-1%7D%3D4)
. So lets replace those values in our formula:
![r= \frac{-20}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-20%7D%7B4%7D%20)
![r=-5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D-5)
Now that we have the common ratio, lets find the explicit formula of our sequence. To do that we are going to use the formula:
![a_{n}=a_{1}*r^{n-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7Bn%7D%3Da_%7B1%7D%2Ar%5E%7Bn-1%7D)
. We know that
![a_{1}=4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7B1%7D%3D4)
; we also know for our previous calculation that
![r=-5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D-5)
. So lets replace those values in our formula:
![a_{n}=4*(-5)^{n-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7Bn%7D%3D4%2A%28-5%29%5E%7Bn-1%7D)
Finally, to find the 9th therm in our sequence, we just need to replace
![n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n)
with 9 in our explicit formula:
![a_{9}=4*(-5)^{9-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7B9%7D%3D4%2A%28-5%29%5E%7B9-1%7D)
![a_{9}=4*(-5)^{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7B9%7D%3D4%2A%28-5%29%5E%7B8%7D)
![a_{9}=1562500](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7B9%7D%3D1562500)
We can conclude that the 9th term in our geometric sequence is <span>
1,562,500</span>
