The sequence below shows a certain company's expected net worth, in millions of dollars, after 1, 2, 3, and 4 years (and so on). 14.5, 13.1, 11.7, 10.3,...
Which function models the nth
term of this sequence, for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...?
A
B
f(n) = 14.5 – 1.4(n − 1)
f(n) = 14.5 + 1.4(n − 1)
f(n) = 14.5 – 1.4n
f(n) = 14.5 + 1.4n

cant

step-by-step explanation: there is no picture

answer: the correct option is d.

explanation:

it is given that the triangle j'k'l' shown on the grid below is a dilation of triangle jkl using the origin as the center of dilation.

from the given graph it is noticed that k(4,8) and k'(2,4). let origin is defined by o and scale factor is defined by k, then

    (1)

distance formula,

put these values in equation (1).

therefore scale factor is     and option d is correct.
