A. -2 is the correct answer for the rate of change
Answer:
<em>summation of five times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Summation Notation
</u>
It represents the sum of a finite or infinite number of terms. Let's analyze the terms of the given succession:
5-15+45-135+...
If we take 5 as a common factor, we have
5(1-3+9-27+...)
The parentheses contain the alternate sum/subtraction of powers of 3. The odd terms are positive, the even terms are negative, thus the exponent must be n starting from 0 or n-1 starting from 1
The summation is then represented by

This corresponds with the option:
<u>summation of five times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity</u>
A: From the graph, car B was traveling faster.
Because the line of car B is more steep than the line of car A.
B:
The lines cross at (2,80), this means that the two cars were traveling at the same distance (80 miles) at the same time (2 hours).
C:
Since the line passes through the points (0,0) and (2,80)
So the unit rate or slope is 40 mph.
The distance which car A traveled in the first four hours = 4x40= 160 mph
Just divide and then get the quotient and round :) use the calculator it helps but that’s the explanation
