Which sequence is modeled by the graph below?

a. an = one half (16)n − 1

b. an = 4(2)n − 1

c. an = 16(−2)n − 1

d. an = 16( one half )n − 1

We have

a2 = 4

a3 = 2

a4 = 1

 calculate the difference

a3 - a2 = -2

a4 - a3 = -1

 The differences are not equal >the sequence is not arithmetic.

 Getting the ratio:

a3/a2 = 0.5

a4/a3 = 0.5

 The common ratio is 0.5. Using the general form for a geometric series:

an = a1 r^(n-1)

for n = 2 > a2=4

4 = a1 (0.5)^(2-1)

a1 = 8

therefore

an = 8 (1/2)^(n-1)

the answer is an = 8 (1/2)^(n-1)

the answer is none of those indicated in the question

answer

a,b, and d

explanation

a reflection angle is more than

but less than;

an angle that measures

is a reflex angle.(true)

an angle that measures less than

is acute.(true)

provided we are considering angles greater or equal to zero.

an acute angle lies in the range.

an obtuse angle is less than 180° but more than 90°

an angle that measures 300° is obtuse (false)

an angle that measures 65° is an acute angle.(true)
