@welshfella

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

I think it is B but Im not sure @welshfella

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes i think its B too but my knowledge of this is a bit rusty. I deleted the last post because i thing its wrong.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

sorry i cant help you much with this one.

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

oh ok, thanks anyways

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@phi

OpenStudy (phi):

did you find the slope between the first and last points ?

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@phi no I just got B, but Im not sure if its right

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

?

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

i got 37/4

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

but i don't think thats right

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

can you just tell me if B is right, because i did all the work and i am just want to make sure

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

i used the distance formula for the first and last points

OpenStudy (phi):

I was assuming they wanted the slope between the points on the graph, but they want between n=0 and n=3 so we need to first find those points. but, we can see the curve is going down as we move to the right. that means the slope is negative.

OpenStudy (phi):

so it's either choice A or B to find out,you could test the formulas

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

I did and I got B, but I still wasn't sure

OpenStudy (phi):

Yes, B works. We could try to figure out exactly what the slope is... but knowing it's negative is all we really need to pick choice B.

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

ok, thanks!
