N=1→an=a1 (first term)=16 (on the graph for n=1)→First term = 16
n=2→an=a2 (second term) = 4 (on the graph for n=2)→Second term = 4

ratio=(Second term)/(First term)=a2/a1=4/16
Simplifying the fraction dividing the numerator (4) by 4 and the denominator (16) by 4:
ratio=(4/4)/(16/4)→ratio=1/4

Answer: Option A. First term = 16, ratio = 1/4

What is the distance between the points ( − 4 , 5 ) and ( 8 , 9 ) ?

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Sqrt of 160

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance, try to think it as a triangle, so you will find out that the distance equals the sqrt of(8-(-4))^2 + (9-5)^2, so it will be sqrt of(144+16) which is sqrt of 160, so the answer will be sqrt of 160

Place the three functions in order from the fastest decreasing average rate of change to the slowest decreasing average rate of

victus00 [196]

Answer:

g(x), f(x) and h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Interval: (0,3)

See attachment for functions f(x), g(x) and h(x)

Required

Order from fastest to slowest decreasing average rate of change

The average rate of change is calculated as:

$Rate = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

In this case:

$(a,b) = (0,3)$

i.e.

$a = 0\\b=3$

For f(x)

$f(x) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^x$

$Rate = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

$Rate = \frac{f(3) - f(0)}{3 - 0}$

$Rate = \frac{f(3) - f(0)}{3}$

Calculate f(3) and f(0)

$f(x) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^x$

$f(3) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^3 = 16 * \frac{1}{8} = 2$

$f(0) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^0 = 16 * 1 = 16$

So:

$Rate = \frac{f(3) - f(0)}{3}$

$Rate = \frac{2 - 16}{3}$

$Rate = -\frac{14}{3}$

For g(x)

$Rate = \frac{g(b) - g(a)}{b - a}$

$Rate = \frac{g(3) - g(0)}{3 - 0}$

$Rate = \frac{g(3) - g(0)}{3}$

From the table of g(x)

$g(3) = 1$

$g(1) = 27$

So:

$Rate = \frac{1 - 27}{3}$

$Rate = -\frac{26}{3}$

For h(x)

$Rate = \frac{h(b) - h(a)}{b - a}$

$Rate = \frac{h(3) - h(0)}{3 - 0}$

$Rate = \frac{h(3) - h(0)}{3}$

From the graph of h(x)

$h(3) = -3$

$h(0) = 4$

So:

$Rate = \frac{-3 - 4}{3}$

$Rate = -\frac{7}{3}$

So, the calculated rates of change are:

$f(x) = -\frac{14}{3}$ $= -4.67$

$g(x) = -\frac{26}{3}$ $=-8.67$

$h(x) = -\frac{7}{3}$ $=-2.33$

By comparison:

From the fastest decreasing to slowest, the order is: g(x), f(x) and h(x)

How do you Solve 5(x+1)=3x+12?

Vitek1552 [10]

Expand
5x+5=3x+12
Subtract 5 from both sides
5x=3x+12−5
Simplify 3x+12−5 to 3x+7
5x=3x+7
Subtract 3x from both sides
5x−3x=7
Simplify 5x−3x to 2x
2x=7
Divide both sides by 2
x=7/2
