Answer:

a_n=27\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

From inspection of the graph, the given points are:

  • (2, 9)
  • (3, 3)
  • (4, 1)

If we draw a line through the given points, the line is a curve rather than a straight line. If the line was a straight line, the graph would be modeled as an arithmetic sequence. Therefore, as the line is a curve, the given points are modeling a geometric sequence.

<u>General form</u> of a geometric sequence:

 a_n=ar^{n-1}

where:

  • a is the first term
  • r is the common ratio
  • a_n is the nth term

Rewrite the given points as terms of the sequence:

  • (2, 9)  ⇒  a₂ = 9
  • (3, 3)  ⇒  a₃ = 3
  • (4, 1)  ⇒  a₄ = 1

To find the common ratio r, divide consecutive terms:

\implies r=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{3}{9}=\dfrac{1}{3}

Calculate the first term (a) by substituting the found value of r and the given values of one of the terms into the formula:

\implies a_2=9

\implies a\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{2-1}=9

\implies \dfrac{1}{3}a=9

\implies a=27

Substitute the found values of r and a into the general formula to create the sequence modeled by the graph:

a_n=27\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{n-1}

  • (2,9)
  • (3,3)
  • (4,1)

We can observe

  • 9/3=3
  • 3/3=1

Its a geometric progression having first term 9(3)=27 and common ratio as 1/3

So

The firmula is

  • a_n=27(1/3)^{n-1}

11.
so we do 40 / 3.667 (3 and 2/3, as far as i can tell) to get x.
so it's 10.9, or 11.

A line with a slope of 5 passes through the point (2,10). What is its equation in slope intercept form
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y = 5x</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question

Slope / m = 5

Equation of the line passing through point (2 , 10) is

y - 10 = 5(x - 2)

y - 10 = 5x - 10

y = 5x - 10 + 10

<h3>y = 5x</h3>

Hope this helps you

Complete the tables to determine if the expressions are equivalent. If the expressions are equivalent, name the properties that
jok3333 [9.3K]
I don’t know how to necessarily complete the tables but i know they are equivalent

1. 3(x-5)
3 (x) = 3x
3 (-5) = -15

that is the distributive property thus it equals

3x - 15

2. 3x - 15

they’re the same
