The rule used to create the arithmetic sequence -2, -4, -6, -8,.. is an = -2 - 2(n-1)

The arithmetic sequence is

-2, -4, -6, -8,...

The initial term = -2

The common difference = The second term - The first term

= -4 - (-2)

= -4 + 2

= -2

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence is

an = a+ (n-1) d

Where a is the initial term

an is the nth term

d is the common difference

Substitute the values in the equation

an = -2 + (n-1)(-2)

Rearrange the terms

an = -2 -2(n-1)

Hence, the rule used to create the arithmetic sequence -2, -4, -6, -8,.. is an = -2 - 2(n-1)

What are the roots of x in -10x2 + 12x − 9 = 0?

hoa [83]

Answer:

$x_1=\frac{3(2+i\sqrt{6})}{10}$

$x_2=\frac{3(2-i\sqrt{6})}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

You can identify that, in this case:

$a=-10\\b=12\\c=-9$

Now you need to substitute these values into the formula:

$x=\frac{-12\±\sqrt{12^2-4(-10)(-9)}}{2(-10)}$

$x=\frac{-12\±\sqrt{-216}}{-20}$

Remember that:

$i=\sqrt{-1}$

Therefore,rewriting and simplifying, you get:

$x=\frac{-12\±6i\sqrt{6}}{-20}$

$x=\frac{-6(2\±i\sqrt{6})}{-2(10)}$

$x=\frac{3(2\±i\sqrt{6})}{10}$

Then, you get the following roots:

$x_1=\frac{3(2+i\sqrt{6})}{10}$

$x_2=\frac{3(2-i\sqrt{6})}{10}$

jenny won the ping pong championship eight more times than gerardo. they have won a combined total of 32 championship

Lena [83]

X + x +8 = 32
2x + 8 = 32
2x = 24
x = 12
So gerardo has won 12 and jenny has won 20

Given: 1 and 2 are supplements, and 3 and 2 are supplements.

Ronch [10]

The correct answers are:

Supplementary; ∠2 and ∠3; substitution; 2.

Explanation:

Supplementary angles are angles whose measures sum to 180°. Thus this is the first answer.

Since we are told that ∠2 and ∠3 are supplementary, their measures sum to 180° and they are the second answer.

We know that m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° and m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°. We can substitute "m∠2 + m∠3" for 180° in the first equation; this is the substitution property.

To isolate m∠1 on the right, we will subtract m∠2 from each side, and get that m∠1 = m∠3 and the angles are congruent.
