Answer + Step-by-step explanation:

an= 4(2)ⁿ⁻¹

First term (n = 1) :

a1= 4(2)¹⁻¹ = 4(2)⁰ = 4×(1) = 4

Second term (n = 2) :

a2= 4(2)²⁻¹ = 4(2)¹ = 4×(2) = 8

Third term (n = 3) :

a3= 4(2)³⁻¹ = 4(2)² = 4×(4) = 16

Fourth term (n = 4) :

a4= 4(2)⁴⁻¹ = 4(2)³ = 4×(8) = 32

Describe how the graphs of y=x and y=x-15 related

Sholpan [36]

They have the same slope
in y=mx+b form
m=slope
b=y-intercept
the equations are
y=1x+0 and y=1x-15
the slopes are the same, the y intercepts are the ones that changed
since they have the same slope, they are paralel to each other

Hi, can someone please help, and possibly explain the answer please.

Answer:

$x=\frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(0)} }{2(3)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula: $x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ when the equation is $0=ax^2+bx+c$

The given equation is $1=-2x+3x^2+1$ . Let's first arrange this so its format looks like $y=ax^2+bx+c$ :

$1=-2x+3x^2+1$

$1=3x^2-2x+1$

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

$1-1=3x^2-2x+1-1\\0=3x^2-2x+0$

Now, we can easily identify 3 as a, -2 as b and 0 as c. Plug these into the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\x=\frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(0)} }{2(3)}$

I hope this helps!
