A(n) = current term
a(n + 1) = next term
in a geometric sequence, the next term comes from a product of the current term and the common ratio.
the common ratio can be any value, let's say use r = ½.
if the current term is say hmmm 40, the next term is 40*½ , or 20, so indeed, the next term is smaller.
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the matrix;
![-2\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&-1\\3&5\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&8\\-1&6\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&10\\-7&-4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-2%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%26-1%5C%5C3%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2B%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D3%268%5C%5C-1%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%2610%5C%5C-7%26-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Converting to equations
From the first row of each matrices
-2x + 3 = x
Collect the like terms
-2x - x = -3
-3x = -3
x = -3/-3
x = 1
Hence the value of x is 1
Answer:
B

break in down to a simplier...
2.5x40=100
20 goes into 50 twice leaving 10 left over which is half of 20.

Answer:
Step-bye-step explanation:
3/10 inch = 7/8miles
1inch = 7/8÷ 3/10 miles
= 7/8 × 10/3
= 35/12miles
= 2 11/12
