Asequence has a second term of 1 and a common difference of -3. the fifth term of the sequence is -11 -8 -5 10

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms in an arithmetic sequence ar

a, a + d, a + 2d, , a + (n - 1)d

Each term in the sequence is obtained by adding the common difference (d) to the previous term, that is

a₂ = 1

a₃ = a₂ + d = 1 - 3 = - 2

a₄ = a₃ + d = - 2 - 3 = - 5

a₅ = a₄ + d = - 5 - 3 = - 8

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
