Answer:

\boxed{a_n \:  =  \: 64 \:  \times  \: ( -  \frac{3}{4} ) ^{n \:  -  \: 1} }

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We first compute the ratio of this geometric sequence.

r \:  =  \:  \frac{ - 48}{64}  \\  \\ r   \:  =  \:  \frac{36}{ - 48}  \\  \\  r \:  =  \:  \frac{ - 27}{36}

  • We simplify the fractions:

r \:  =  \:   -  \frac{3 }{4}   \\  \\ r   \:  =  \:   -  \frac{3 }{4}  \\  \\  r \:  =  \:    -  \frac{3 }{4}

  • We deduce that it is the common ratio because it is the same between each pair.

r \:  =  \:  -  \frac{3 }{4}

  • We use the first term and the common ratio to describe the equation:

a_1 \:  =  \: 64; \: r \:  =  \:  -  \frac{3 }{4}

<h3>We apply the data in this formula:</h3>

\boxed{a_n \:  =  \: a_1 \:   \times  \:  {r}^{ n \:  -  \: 1} }

<h3>We apply:</h3>

\boxed {\bold{a_n \:  =  \: 64 \:   \times  \:  {( -  \frac{3}{4} )}^{ n \:  -  \: 1} }}

What is the equation of the line in the graph
iren [92.7K]

Always, ALWAYS remeber this format: y = mx + b

In this equation, 'm' is the slope, and 'b' is the y-intercept

When you're trying to find a slope, remember that the equation is \frac{rise}{run}

When finding the rise and run, look at two points that are on the graph AND on the line as well. Essentially, make sure the points you're using are integers.

In this, case, the rise is -3, and the run is 2. This means that the slope is  \frac{-3}{2}

Now we have the first part of our equation:

y = - \frac{3}{2} + b

But wait! How do we find b?

Sometimes you have to input x in order to find it, but only when you're not supplied with a graph. In this case, all you have to do is look!

The point of the line that is on the y-axis is called the y-intercept.

In this graph, the y-intercept is -1

Now we have our complete equation!

y = - \frac{3}{2} - 1

Good luck!

What are the x-intercepts of x^2– 3x = 4?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

x^2-3x=4

x^2-3x-4=0

x^2-4x+x-4=0

x(x-4)+1(x-4)=0

(x+1)(x-4)=0

x=-1,4

x- intercepts in the point (-1,0) and (4,0)
