4. Name the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence. a1 = -35, d=4​
eduard

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to write the equation for the sequence, then finding the first five terms will be easy. Follow the formatting:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1) and we are given enough info to fill in:

a_n=-35+4(n-1) and

a_n=-35+4n-4 and

a_n=-39+4n or in linear format:

a_n=4n-39 where n is the position of the number in the sequence. We already know the first term is -35.

The second term:

a_2=4(2)-39 so

a_2=8-39 and

a_2=-31

The third term:

a_3=4(3)-39 and

a_3=12-39 so

a_3=-27 and we could go on like this forever, but the nice thing about this is when we know the difference all we have to do is add it to each number to get to the next number.

That means that the fourth term will be -27 + 4 which is -23.

The fifth term then will be -23 + 4 which is -19. You can check yourself by filling in a 5 for n in the equation and solving:

a_5=4(5)-39 and

a_5=20-39 so

a_5=-19

Which of these statements is true for f(x) = (1/2)^x
Ann [662]
<h3>Answer:  D) The y intercept is (0,1)</h3>

This can be confirmed by plugging x = 0 into the function to find that...

y = (1/2)^x

y = (1/2)^0

y = 1

Recall that any nonzero value to the 0th power leads to 1. So we can say x^0 = 1 as long as x is not zero.

---------------

Extra info (optional section):

  • We can rule out choice A because negative x values work in the domain. For instance, if x = -1, then it leads to y = (1/2)^x = (1/2)^(-1) = 2. The negative exponent will apply the reciprocal operation to the base fraction.
  • Choice B can also be ruled out because the range is y > 0. Or you could note that it is possible to get positive y values smaller than 1/2. Try x = 2 and you'll see it leads to y = 1/4 which is not greater than 1/2.
  • Choice C is false as well. The function f(x) = (1/2)^x is decreasing throughout the domain. A graph visually would show this due to it going downhill when moving from left to right. A table of values is a non-visual way to see we have a decreasing function. The table would show that y decreases when x increases.

1~ A quick. rough estimate of the time required for money to double can be obtained by dividing which ofthe following numbers by
dem82 [27]

Answer:

B. 72

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of 72 is used as a rough estimate of the number of years required for an investment to double.

According to this rule, the number of years 'n' necessary to double an investment at an annual rate 'r' is:

n=\frac{72}{r}

Therefore, the number that when divided by the interest rate gives the number of years required to double an investment is 72.

The answer is B. 72.
