This is an arithmetic sequence.

The numbers differ by a constant.

The general form of an arithmetic sequence is:

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$

Where

a is first term

n is nth term

d is the common difference

Looking at the sequence, we can say the common difference is -3 [since 3 is subtracted from a term to get the next term]

Also, first term is 13

Now, we plug into formula:

$\begin{gathered} a_n=a+(n-1)d \\ a_n=13+(n-1)(-3) \\ a_n=13-3n+3_{} \\ a_n=16-3n \end{gathered}$

Mr.Hollins determines that he gives away $800 each month. If he gives away 16% of his budget, how much is his overall budget?

oee [108]

$\frac{800}{x} = \frac{16\%}{100\%} \\ \frac{80000}{16} = \frac{16x}{16} \\ 5000 = x$

Which shows the correct simplification of product of powers?

Brums [2.3K]

The power symbols are missing.

I can infere that the product intended to simplify is (7^8) * (7^-4)., because that permits you to use the rule of the product of powers with the same base.

That rule is that the product of two powers with the same base is the base raised to the sum of the powers is:

(A^m) * (A^n) = A^ (m+n)

=>(7^8) * (7^-4) = 7^ [8 + (- 4) ] = 7^ [8 - 4] = 7^4, which is the option 3 if the powers are placed correctly.

Which could be the graph of f(x)=|x-h|+k if h and k are both positive

julia-pushkina [17]

The graph of the function y=f(x-a)+b (a>0, b>0) is obtained from the graph of the function y=f(x) by translating right a units and up b units.

The graph of the function y=|x| is as shown in the attached diagram. The only possible translation of this graph right and up is option A. (In option B graph is translated right and down, in option C- left and up and in option D - left and down).

Answer: correct choice is A.
