8. An exponential function has an initial value of 500 and a decay rate of 15%. Compare the average rate of change for the interval 0 < x < 4 to the average rate for the interval 4 < x < 8 What do you think will happen to the average rate of change for intervals beyond x = 8 ? Explain.

Given: lines a and b are parallel and line c is a transversal. prove: 2 is supplementary to 8 what is the missing reason in the proof? statement reason 1. a || b, is a transv 1. given 2. ∠6 ≅ ∠2 2. ? 3. m∠6 = m∠2 3. def. of congruent 4. ∠6 is supp. to ∠8 4. def. of linear pair 5. ∠2 is supp. to ∠8 5. congruent supplements theorem corresponding angles theorem alternate interior angles theorem vertical angles theorem alternate exterior angles theorem
