Find an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Margarita [4]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a_{n} = - 4 × 2^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Note there is a common ratio between consecutive terms in the sequence.

r = - 8 ÷ - 4 = - 16 ÷ - 8 = - 32 ÷ - 16 = 2

This indicates that the sequence is geometric with n th term

a_{n} = a (r)^{n-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = - 4 and r = 2, thus

a_{n} = - 4 (2)^{n-1} ← explicit rule

(10 points) <br> Solve for x. Assume that the lines which appear to be tangent are tangent
Ganezh [65]

The two tangent lines for each circle are the same length. Set the equations to equal and solve for x.

1. 4x + 3 = 3x +12

Subtract 3x from each side:

x +3 = 12

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 9

2. -2 + x = 2x -7

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-2 - x =  -7

Add 2 to each side:

-x = -5

Multiply both sides by -1:

x = 5

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

600 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have to calculate the speed;

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 100/20 = 5 mph

Next to get our answer we have to calculate the amount of time

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 3000/5 = 600 seconds
