Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Note this pattern: Mult. 24 by (-1/4) produces -6.
Mult -6 by (-1/4) produces 6/4 = 3/2
Mult. 3/2 by (-1/4) produces 3/8
Looks as though you copied the problem down incorrectly. You wrote 32 for 3/2 and -38 for -3/8.
The common ratio is -1/4.
The first portion is 2 and his speed during the cool down portion also 2 so I think it should be 2+2 which is 4
The answer is 16 I think because 2*2=4*5=20-4=16 so I think 16 is the right answer
answer

explanation
since there are 2 x-intercepts, the lowest degree the function could possibly have is 2, so this could be the graph of a parabola
since our zeros are at x = 4 and x = -2, our factors are (x - 4) and (x + 2)
our equation so far is
(x - 4)(x + 2)
= 
= 
since the function is reflected across the x-axis, multiply the equation by -1

= 
since the function has a vertical stretch of 3, multiply the equation by 3

=
