Answer:
m=2
Step-by-step explanation:
(0,0) (5,10)
Set up a system of equations.
X+y=6
Y-x =40
Substitution method.
Y=6-x
(6-x)-x =40
6-2x=40
-2x=34
X= -17
Plug it back into the equation.
-17+y=6
Y=33
(-17,33) is one of the possible answers.
an = a1r^(n-1)
a5 = a1 r^(5-1)
-6 =a1 r^4
a2 = a1 r^(2-1)
-48 = a1 r
divide
-6 =a1 r^4
---------------- yields 1/8 = r^3 take the cube root or each side
-48 = a1 r 1/2 = r
an = a1r^(n-1)
an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)
-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1
divide by 1/2
-96 = a1
an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)
the sum
Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]
S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]
=-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]
= 192 * [-131071/131072]
approximately -192
The a value affects the graph by vertically stretching or compressing the graph.
The r and s values affect the zeros, or x intercepts of the parabola, and therefore the vertex.
Hope this helps!
