From the explanation below,
a= -10 and b= -4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a1 = 6
a2 = 10
a3 = 14
The next member of the sequence is 4 more than the current sequence. Therefore d = 4
a1 = 6
d = 4
n = 13
an = a1 + (n - 1)*d
an = 6 + (n - 1)*4
a_13 = 6 + 12*4
a_13 = 6 + 48
a_13 = 54
The equation to calculate the average rate of change is: y/x
y = f(x2) - f(x1)x = x2 - x1
x1: 1 (The smaller x value. It can be any number)x2: 2 (The larger x value. It also can be any number)f(x1): The value when you plug x1 into the function.f(x2): The value when you plug x2 into the function.
If we know this, the variables for this problem are assuming the function is 10(5.5)^x:
x2: 2x1: 1f(x2): 10(5.5)^(2) = 302.5f(x1): 10(5.5)^(1)= 55
This means:y = 302.5 - 55 = 247.5x = 2 - 1 = 1
Remember: the equation for avg rate of change is y/x
So, our average rate of change for the function on the interval [1,2] is 247.5 (y/x = 247.5/1)
Trig ratios can only be used on right triangles with acute measures.
If given an angle and there are adjacent and opposite sides, then use tan(opposite/adjacent)
If given an angle and there is an adjacent side and a hypotenuse, then use cosine(adjacent/hypotenuse)
If given an angle and there is an opposite and adjacent side, then use sin(opposite/hypotenuse)
A common mnemonic device used to memorize the trig rules is SOH-CAH-TOA
