When introduced in 1997, a DVD player sold for about $500. Five years later, the average price was $155. Find and interpret the average rate of change in price per year.

-69

Step-by-step explanation:

Use rise over run (change in y/change in x)

The change in y is -345, since that is how much the price decreased

The change in x is 5 years

-345/5

= -69

So, the average rate of change in price per year is -69

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
