Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Identify a1 and r for the geometric sequence

defined by a Subscript n Baseline = negative 256 (negative one-fourth) Superscript n minus 1

a1 =

-256

 r =

-1/4

Approximate the sum of the first 17 terms to the nearest tenth.

Sum =

-204.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The value  [tex]a_1[/tex] is -256.

The value  r = -1/4

What is a geometric sequence?

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the ratio between consecutive terms is constant.

Example:

2, 4, 8, 16 is a geometric sequence.

We have,

In a geometric sequence,

Each term is obtained by multiplying the preceding term by a constant factor, which is called the common ratio (r).

So,

The nth term of the sequence.

[tex]a_n[/tex] = -256 x [tex](-1/4){n-1}[/tex]

Now,

[tex]a_1[/tex] = -256 x [tex](-1/4)^{1 -1}[/tex]

   = -256 [tex](-1/4)^0[/tex]

   = -256 x 1

   = -256

[tex]a_2[/tex] = -256 x [tex](-1/4)^{2-1}[/tex]

   = -256 x [tex](-1/4)^1[/tex]

  = -256 x -1/4

  = 64

Now,

[tex]a_1[/tex] r = [tex]a_2[/tex]

-256 x r = 64

r = 64 / -256

r = -1/4

Therefore,

[tex]a_1[/tex]= -256 and r = -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

A: f(x)=8x-2

1. Switch the f(x) to y

2. Switch y to x and x to y

x=8y-2

3. Solve for y:

------------------------------

1. Add 2 to both sides.

 x=8y-2

6(x+9)=9

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=-\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by distributing the 6 to each of the terms in the parentheses:

6(x)+6(9)=9

6x+54=9

Subtract 54 from both sides

6x+54-54=9-54

6x=-45

Divide both sides by 6

x=-45/6

Divide the fraction by 3/3 since it is the greatest common factor of 45 and 6. Note we can only do this since 3/3 is equivalent to 1, so we are essentially dividing the fraction by 1.

Divide the 6 to 9 which is multiplying (x + 9) .

Divide numerator and denominator in right side by 3

Subtract 3/2 with 9

x=14−3

x=143

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x = 14 - 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

*The key word 'less than' means to subtract.

x + 3 = 14 is incorrect. Kiran isn't adding weight to his backpack.

In other words, the backpack didn't increase in pounds.

3(x) = 14 is incorrect. Multiplying is irrelevant to this problem, it's not saying Kiran's backpack is 3 times a number equal to Clare's backpack weight.

x = 143 is incorrect. This equation is unrealistic.

x = 14 - 3 is correct. This equation is explaining that Kiran's backpack is 3 pounds less than Clare's backpack (14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:the original height of the candle is 14.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:A Candlestick burns at a rate of 0.2 inches per hour. It means that the height of the candle is decreasing by 2 inches per hour. This decrease is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed asTn = a + (n - 1)dWhere a represents the first term of the sequence.d represents the common difference.n represents the number of terms in the sequence.From the information given,d = - 0.2 (it is decreasing)n = 8T8 = 13.4 inchesWe want to determine the value of the first term, a.

The probability that a particular salesman will leave his sunglasses behind in any store is 1/5. Suppose the salesman visits two stores in succession and leaves his sunglasses behind in one of them. What is the probability that the salesman left his sunglasses in the first store?

Answers

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The probability that the salesman left his sunglasses in the first store is 0.16

How to calculate the probability

The given parameter is:

p = 1/5 ---- the probability that he left his sunglass

The probability that he did not leave his sunglass would be:

q= 1- 1/5

Evaluate the difference:

p = 4/5

So, the probability that the salesman left his sunglasses in the first store is:

Pr = 1/5 * 4/5

Evaluate the product

Pr = 4/25

Express as decimal

Pr = 0.16

Hence, the probability that the salesman left his sunglasses in the first store is 0.16

A.(3,7) is a solution to the linear system.
B.(3,7) is Not a Solution to the linear system.

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x + 1 --> linear

y = -4x + 7 --> non-linear

Not a solution for a linear system.

Step-by-step explanation:

for (a), y = 2x+1, substitute the x and y values. keep in mind, that in a linear pair, (x, y). So, for the first equation you get:

7 = 2x3 + 1. This is correct, because 6 + 1 is 7. Therefore, (a) is linear.

for (b), we have to substitute our values again. You get:

7 = -4x3 + 7, which is

7 = -12+7, which is not true. So, (b) is not linear.

This means that for the linear pair (3, 7), it does not satisfy both equations, which means that it is not a solution for the linear system.

How to read the data from the table?

Table is a way to represent the data of the two or more variable.

To read the data from the table, look for the value of one variable, and get the resultant value of other variable from the corresponding block.

The table of the given x value is,

x          3,     4,     5,     6,     7

f(x)      12,   24,   28,   96,   192

The average rate of change of value is the ratio of overall change of function output value to the input value.

For the input values of 4 and 7 let's find the average rate of change,

[tex]r=\dfrac{192-24}{7-4}\\r=\dfrac{168}{3}\\r=56[/tex]

What is an exponential function?

It is modeled by:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

In which:

a is the initial value.b is the rate of change.

Considering the table, that has points (2,36) and (3,54), we have that:

[tex]36 = ab^2[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{36}{b^2}[/tex]

[tex]54 = ab^3[/tex]

[tex]54 = \frac{36}{b^2} \times b^3[/tex]

[tex]36b = 54[/tex]

[tex]b = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]y = a\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^x[/tex]

When x = 2, y = 36, hence:

[tex]y = a\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^x[/tex]

[tex]36 = a\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9}{4}a = 36[/tex]

What was the percent increase in the number of phone calls from the second month to the third month.
Pleaseeee answer fastt

Answers

Answer:

Percent increase : 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

First month: 4,264 phone calls.

Second month: 25% more phone calls than in the first month.

To know the total phone calls received during this month you must take 25% of 4,264 and then add it to the 4,264 call of the first month:

64,264*25%=1,066

Total phone calls of the second month: 1,066+ 4,264= 5,330

You can also calculate the total phone calls of the second month by multiplying 4264 times 1,25 because times 1 is the same number and times 0,25 is the percent increase in the number of calls:

4,264*1,25= 5,330

Third month: 6,396 phone calls

To know the percent increase in the number of phone calls from the second month to the third month you must use the percent change formula:

Percent change: ((value2-value1)/ value 1 )*100%

Value 2: phone calls received during the third month

Value 1: phone calls received during the second month

Percent change: ((6,396-5,330)/ 5,330 )*100%

Percent increase: 20%
