What are the values of r and a1 for
? r = 0.45; a1 = 3 r = 0.45; a1 = 8 r = 8; a1 = 0.45 r = 8; a1 = 3

a1 or just a as it is in the equations is just the initial term of the sequence.  In this case a1=1

r is the common ratio which is that constant ratio found by dividing any term by the term preceding it...

In this case r=3/1=9/3=27/9=etc=3

So a1=1 and r=3, C. is your answer.

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew

d is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= 8 because 3x = 3 * 8, and 3*8 = 24
