Answer:

An explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence will be:

a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}      

Thus, option (A) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

-4, -8, -16, -32, ...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by

a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

\frac{-8}{-4}=2,\:\quad \frac{-16}{-8}=2,\:\quad \frac{-32}{-16}=2

As the ratio 'r' is the same.

so

r=2

as

a_1=-4

Hence, the nth term of the sequence will be:

a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}

substituting the values r=2 and a_1=-4

a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}      

Therefore, an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence will be:

a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}      

Thus, option (A) is true.

Alinara [238K]

the average rate of change is just the slope from (0,f(0)) to (1,f(1))

find f(0) and f(1)

f(0)=-3(0)^4-(0)^3+3(0)^2+0+3=3

f(1)=-3(1)^4-(1)^3+3(1)^2+1+3=-3-1+3+1+3=3


slope from (0,3) to (1,3) is rise/run=(3-3)/(0-1)=0/-1

the average rate of change from x=0 to x=1 for f(x) is 0

svp [43]

To solve this problem, we must imagine the triangles and parallel lines which are formed. It is best to draw the triangle described in the problem so that you can clearly understand what I will be talking about.

The first step we have to do is to make an equality equation in triangle ABC.

In triangle ABC, we are given that lines XY and BC are two parallel lines (XY || BC).  Therefore this means that:

AX / XB = AY / YC                                              ---> 1

 

The next step is to make an equality equation in triangle AXC.

We are given that lines ZY and XC are two parallel lines (ZY || XC). Therefore this also means that:

AZ / ZX = AY / YC                                               ---> 2

 

Combining 1 and 2 since they have both AY / YC in common:

AX / XB = AZ / ZX

we are given that:

AZ = 8, ZX = 4 therefore AX = AZ + ZX = 12, hence

12 / XB = 8 / 4

XB = 6
