Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 112 + 133+128+100+120= 720
x + 593 = 720
x = 127

Answer: Choice C) 2 - 6 + 18 - 54 + ...</h3>
Explanation:
The three dots or ellipses indicate the pattern goes on forever to infinity. So the answer is between choices A and C based on this alone. Choice A is a sequence while choice C is a series. A sequence is simply a list of values often in some kind of mathematical pattern. A series is where you add values from a sequence together. This distinction rules out choice A and makes choice C the answer.
Note: choice C is a geometric series with first term 2 and common ratio -3. The infinite series diverges because r = -3 is outside the range -1 < r < 1.
The starting fraction is 7/7
now you subtract 2 for the 2 cookies eaten
7/7 - 2/7 = 5/7
your end fraction is 5/7
To find the average rate of change of given function f(x) on a given interval (a,b):
Find f(b)-f(a), b-a, and then divide your result for f(b)-f(a) by your result for b-a:
f(b) - f(a)
------------
b-a
Here your function is f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3. Substituting b=5 and a=-2,
f(5) = 5^2 -2(5)+3 =? and f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 3 = ?
Calculate f(5) - [ f(-2) ]
------------------ using your results, above.
5 - [-2]
Your answer to this, if done correctly, is the "average rate of change of the function f(x) = x^2+2x+3 on the interval [-2,5]."
