Answer:

$a_{n}$ = - 2 $(-4)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term ( explicit formula ) for a geometric sequence is

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

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = - 2 and r = 8 ÷ - 2 = - 4, thus

$a_{n}$ = - 2 $(-4)^{n-1}$

Please help me with this problem.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

5.6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

V = pi r^2 h

We want to solve for h

Divide each side by pi r^2

V/ pi r^2 = pi r^2 h/ pi r^2

V/ pi r^2 =h

We know v = 440 pi = 22/7 and r = 5

440 / ( 22/7 * 5^2) = h

440 / (22*25/7) = h

440*7/550 = h

5.6 = h

Given the equation y=14x2−5, the minimum is ___ and the range is ___

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The minimum is -5

The range is $y \ge -5$

f(14) = 2739

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 14x^2 - 5$

Solving (a): The minimum

A quadratic function is represented as:

$y = ax^2 + bx + c$

If a > 0, then the function has a minimum

By comparison

$a = 14$ --- the function has a minimum

$b = 0$

$c = -5$

To calculate the minimum, we first calculate the following is calculated as:

$m = -\frac{b}{2a}$

So, we have:

$m = -\frac{0}{2*14}$

$m = 0$

So, the minimum is at f(m)

We have: $y = 14x^2 - 5$

$f(0) = 14 *0^2 - 5$

$f(0) = - 5$

Solving (b): The range

In (a), we have:

$f(0) = - 5$ --- the minimum

This implies that the smallest value of y on the graph is -5.

So, the range is:

$r = \{y|y\ge -5\}$

Solving (c): f(14)

We have:

$y = 14x^2 - 5$

So:

$f(14) = 14 * 14^2 - 5$

$f(14) = 2739$
