Algebra 2 Part B

OpenStudy (will.h):

ASAP Help give away you explanation not just the answer.

OpenStudy (giitter):

lol hang on

OpenStudy (giitter):

O @Unavailabilityy

OpenStudy (giitter):

@Will.H My sister can help yoiiiiiiiiu

OpenStudy (will.h):

great i can't wait. quickly please i am Timed

OpenStudy (giitter):

aww ok after i get her

OpenStudy (giitter):

nvm she can

OpenStudy (will.h):

@acxbox22 you have a high rank am sure you can do something here./..

OpenStudy (kevin):

I will help

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

Yea well I was just refreshing my knowledge on average rate of change.

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

What do you know to begin with?

OpenStudy (giitter):

@Kevin can help he helped my sister just a couple min ago and she got her thing right!

OpenStudy (kevin):

a = 8 an = a x r^(n-1) an = 8 x 1/2(n-1) average rate of change a3 - a1/ (3 - 1) = 8 - 2 / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3 So the answer is the third poin

OpenStudy (will.h):

acxbox can you list your answer i can't explain now really am doing other problems.. Thank you

OpenStudy (will.h):

Kevin you sure that the answer is C?

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

Since you are given choices, you can test the equations with the graph.

OpenStudy (kevin):

Tq @GIitter :D Thx for mentioning me ^^

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

the answer is not c

OpenStudy (unavailabilityy):

Uh, I;m terrible at algebra ;-;

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

the answer is E

OpenStudy (will.h):

acxbox i will give you all kinds of awards just list you explanation and answer.

OpenStudy (kevin):

I'm sorry I calculate it wrong

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

@Kevin please dont give direct answers

OpenStudy (kevin):

an = a x r^(n-1) an = 8 x 1/2(n-1) average rate of change a3 - a1/ (3 - 1) = 2 - 8 / 2 = -6 / 2 = -3 So the answer is the A

OpenStudy (giitter):

^

OpenStudy (giitter):

WHAT @acxbox22 SAID

OpenStudy (giitter):

Sorry caps lol

OpenStudy (will.h):

Keving you sure this time? it's worth 12% of the general test

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

So testing the equations, we can see that when we substitute in the values of n or x in the equations, only the first and third equations make sense when n is equal to 1, 8(1/2)^(1-1) = 8(1/2)^0= 8 and looking at the graph when n=1, y is equal to 8 meaning our equation is correct.

OpenStudy (giitter):

who do you trust @Will.H?

OpenStudy (kevin):

yup, I'm sure

OpenStudy (giitter):

wbu @acxbox22

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

A is the correct answer as @Kevin mentioned but it is important for the person to understand how we got there.

OpenStudy (will.h):

Glitter give medal to kevin and i will give medal to acxbox i can't give 2 medals but i can fan both Thank you both so much

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

we can give a medal to everyone :)

OpenStudy (kevin):

Thx, so.. whom I give the medal :D

OpenStudy (will.h):

Kevin can i reach to you for other questions?

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

you may give it to anyone you wish, we are all friends here

OpenStudy (kevin):

my pleasure :)

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

So continuing on, we are left with answer choices A and C. The next part is average rate of change. We need the average rate of change between n=1 and n=3 so we use the formula \[(f/b-f/a)/b-a\] when n=1, the function is 8 and when n=3 the function is 2 so we have \[(8-2)/(1-3)\] which is equal to -3 or the average rate of change for the function.

OpenStudy (will.h):

Brilliant! Thanks a lot for yall

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

np ;)

OpenStudy (kevin):

u're welcome :)

OpenStudy (giitter):

Good job guys!

OpenStudy (giitter):

If I could I would go and give you both a medal but I gave to Will for asking the question and being patent for the answer :).
