Second question: The average rate of change is 297.92

Third question: The function's graph of h(x) = 0.5(2^x) + 0.5 has a

y-intercept of 1

Fourth question: The ordered pairs lie on the graph of f(x) are (2 , 18)

and (0 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First question:

* Lets revise the rule of the geometric sequence

- There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive numbers

- Ex:

# 5  ,  10  ,  20  ,  40  ,  80  ,  ………………………. (×2)

# 5000  ,  1000  ,  200  ,  40  ,  …………………………(÷5)

* General term (nth term) of a Geometric sequence:

- U1 = a  ,  U2  = ar  ,  U3  = ar2  ,  U4 = ar3  ,  U5 = ar4

- Un = ar^n-1, where a is the first term , r is the constant ratio

 between each two consecutive terms  and n is the position

 of the term in the sequence

* Now lets solve the question

∵ The sequence is 16 , 48 , 144 , 432 ,

∵ a = 16

∵ ar = 48

∴ r = 48/16 = 3

∴ The sequence is geometric withe common ratio 3

* The common ratio r is 3

Second question:

* Lets revise the average rate of change of a function

- When you calculate the average rate of change of a function,

  you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points

  on the function

- Average Rate of Change  for the function y = f (x) between

 x = a and x = b is:

 change of y/change of x = [f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a)

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ g(x) = 50(12^x), where x ∈ [-1 , 1]

∵ a = -1 and b = 1

∵ f(-1) = 50(12^-1) = 50/12

∵ f(1) = 50(12^1) = 600

∴ Average Rate of Change  = [600 - 50/12]/[1 - (-1)]

∴ Average Rate of Change  = [595.8333]/[2] = 297.92

* The average rate of change is 297.92

Third question:

* Lets talk about the y- intercept

- When any graph intersect the y-axis at point (0 , c), we called

 c the y-intercept

- To find the y- intercept, substitute the value of x in the

  function by zero

* Now lets check which answer will give y- intercept = 1

∵ h(x) = 0.5(2^x) + 0.5 ⇒ put x = 0

∴ h(0) = 0.5(2^0) + 0.5 = 0.5(1) + 0.5 = 1

∵ h(x) = (0.5)^x + 1 ⇒ put x = 0

∴ h(0) = (0.5)^0 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2

∵ h(x) = 5(2^x) ⇒ put x = 0

∴ h(0) = 5(2^0) = 5(1) = 5

∵ h(x) = 5(0.5)^x + 0.5

∴ h(0) = 5(0.5)^0 + 0.5 = 5(1) + 0.5 = 5.5

* The function's graph of h(x) = 0.5(2^x) + 0.5 has a y-intercept of 1

Fourth question:

* Lets study how to find a point lies on a graph

- When we substitute the value of x of the point in the function

 and give us the same value of y of the point, then the point

 lies on the graph

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = 2(3)^x

∵ The point is (2 , 18) ⇒ put x = 2

∴ f(2) = 2(3)² = 2(9) = 18 ⇒ the same y of the point

∴ The point (2 , 18) lies on f(x)

∵ The point is (0 , 2) ⇒ put x = 0

∴ f(0) = 2(3)^0 = 2(1) = 2 ⇒ the same y of the point

∴ The point (0 , 2) lies on f(x)

∵ The point is (-1 , 1) ⇒ put x = -1

∴ f(-1) = 2(3)^-1 = 2(1/3) = 2/3 ⇒ not the same y of the point

∴ The point (-1 , 1) does not lie on f(x)

∵ The point is (3 , 56) ⇒ put x = 3

∴ f(3) = 2(3)³ = 2(27) = 54 ⇒ not the same y of the point

∴ The point (3 , 56) does not lie on f(x)

* The ordered pairs lie on the graph of f(x) are (2 , 18) and (0 , 2)
