What are the explicit equation and domain for a geometric sequence with a first term of 5 and a second term of −10?

The standard form of a geometric sequence is a_{n}=a_{1}(r)^{n-1}. We are told that the first number in the sequence is 5 and the second number is -10. Geometric sequences rely on that r to be a common ratio which is a muliplier. So to get from 5 to -10 we have to multiply by -2. That means that r = -2. Our formula then is a_{n}=5(-2)^{n-1} and any value could be subbed in for n to find that specific number in the sequence. A geometric sequence may be thought of as an exponential function whose domain is the set of natural numbers.

If (x + 2) is a factor of x3 − 6x2 + kx + 10, k =
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The value of k is -11

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x+2) is a factor of x3 − 6x2 + kx + 10:

Then,

f(x)=x3 − 6x2 + kx + 10

f(-2)=0

f(-2)=(-2)³-6(-2)²+k(-2)+10=0

f(-2)= -8-6(4)-2k+10=0

f(-2)= -8-24-2k+10=0

Solve the like terms:

f(-2)=-2k-22=0

f(-2)=-2k=0+22

-2k=22

k=22/-2

k=-11

Hence the value of k is -11....

Please help!!! On my hw
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

c(X)=R(X)

125x+18000=215x

18000=215x-125x

18000=90x (divede both sides by 90)

X=200

I need help with this math problem! Thanks!<br><br> -8 = -( x +4)
Damm [24]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lonely negative sign infront of the brackets is confusing, it can be rewritten as -1.

To solve, simplify by expanding then isolate x.

-8 = -( x +4)

-8 = -1 ( x +4)       Distribute over brackets by changing the each term's sign

-8 = -x - 4            Start isolating x by moving everything to the other side

-8 +4  = -x -4 + 4        Add 4 to both sides so it cancels out on the right

-4  = -x

-4  = -1x           <= -x is the same at -1x

-4/-1  = -x/-1     <=divide both sides by negative 1

4 = x

x = 4      <= usually we write the variable on the left side
