4. What is the rule of the nth term of the geometric sequence with <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7B4%7D" id="TexFormula1"

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$\text{d.}\quad a_n=-2.25(2)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is given as 2, so the base of any exponential must be 2 (not -2 or 2.25). The 4th term is negative, so the initial value must be negative (since the multiplying factor is positive). The only selection matching these requirements is d.

You know the general term is ...

... an = a1·r^(n-1)

so the 4th term is

... -18 = a1·2^(4-1) = 8·a1

Then the first term is ...

... a1 = -18/8 = -2.25 . . . . . confirms our choice of answer d.

Describe how (2 cubed) (2 superscript negative 4) can be simplified.

irina [24]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(2 cubed) (2 superscript negative 4)

= (2³)(2^-4)

= (2³) (1 / 2⁴)

= (2³ * 1) / 2⁴

= 2³ / 2⁴

Both numerator and denominator has the same base. Thus, pick one of the bases

Also, in indices, division sign can be translated to subtraction

Therefore,

2³ / 2⁴

= 2^3-4

= 2^-1

= 1/2¹

= 1/2

(2³)(2^-4) = 1/2

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that goes through (12, 4) and (20,8).

spayn [35]

Answer:

Equation in slope-intercept form that goes through (12, 4) and (20,8) is: $y = \frac{1}{2}x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points are:

$(x_1,y_1) = (12,4)\\(x_2,y_2) = (20,8)$

Slope intercept form of line is given as:

$y = mx+b$

Here m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Slope of a line is calculated by the formula:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Putting the values

$m = \frac{8-4}{20-12}\\m = \frac{4}{8}\\m=\frac{1}{2}$

Putting the value of slope in slope-intercept form we get

$y = \frac{1}{2}x+b$

To find the value of b, any one point will be put in the equation

Putting the first point (12,4) in the equation

$4 = \frac{1}{2}(12) + b\\4 = 6+b\\b = 4-6\\b = -2$

Putting the value of b

$y = \frac{1}{2}x-2$

Hence,

Equation in slope-intercept form that goes through (12, 4) and (20,8) is: $y = \frac{1}{2}x-2$

a 120 watt light bulb uses about 0.1 kilowatt of electricity per hour. if electricity costs 0.20 per kilowatt hour, how much doe

Allushta [10]

A 120 watt light-bulb is a 0.120 kilowatt light bulb.

In one hour, it uses 0.120 kilowatt-hour of energy.

If electrical energy costs $0.20 per kilowatt hour, then that light bulb costs

(0.120 kilowatt-hour / hour) x (0.20 dollar / kilowatt-hour) =

(0.120 x $0.20 / hour) =

$0.024 / hour = <span>2.4¢ per hour </span>
