Which is a greater slope 3 or -4

Mathematics

1 answer:

castortr0y [4]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

3 is greater than -4, but the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is greater than -4, so strictly speaking, a slope of 3 is greater than a slope of -4.

On the other hand, the steepness of a line depends on the absolute value of the slope.

|3| = 3

|-4| = 4

Since 4 > 3, the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.

Answer: 3 is greater than -4, but the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.

6. Identify the recursive formula for the sequence 3, –15, 75, –375, . . .

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

first option

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is

r = - 15 ÷ 3 = 75 ÷ - 15 = - 375 ÷ 75 = - 5

The recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by multiplying the previous term by r , thus

f(n) = - 5f(n - 1) if n > 1

with f(1) = 3 ← first term

Solve the equation 4s2+32s=60 by completing the square

lord [1]

Answer:

s = -4 ± √31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 4 $s^{2}$ + 32s = 60

divide by 4 throughout

$s^{2} + 8s = 15\\s^{2} + 8s + (\frac{8}{2}) ^{2} = 15 + (\frac{8}{2}) ^{2}$

$(s + 4)^{2} = 31\\s + 4 = \sqrt{31}$

s = -4 ± √31
