9514 1404 393

Answer:

1,953,125

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is a1 = 5; the common ratio is r = -25/5 = -5. The generic term is ...

an = a1×r^(n-1)

an = 5×(-5)^(n-1)

So, the 9th term is ...

a9 = 5×(-5)^(9-1) = 1,953,125

My grade is a 77%, if i get a 0% on a paper worth 30% of my grade, what will my grade be now??

blsea [12.9K]

$Grade=Paper+Other$
$Grade=(Grade_{paper}\times Value_{paper})+(Grade_{other}\times Value_{other})$
$Grade=(0 \times 30\%)+(77\% \times (1-30\%))$
$Grade=(0 \times 30\%)+(77\% \times 70\%)$
$Grade=0+53.9\%$
$Grade=53.9\%$

Describe how to determine the average rate of change between x = 3 and x = 5 for the function f(x) = 3x3 + 2. Include the averag

Serhud [2]

Answer:

147

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change is given by the total rise over total run.

$f(x) = 3x^3+2\\f(3)=3*3^3+2=83\\f(5)=3*5^3+2 = 377$

So,

total rise = 377 - 83 = 294

total run = 2

average rate of change = $\dfrac{294}{2} = 147$
