A(n) = a1 * r^(n-1)
a1 = first term = -8
r = common ratio = 5

a(2) = -8 * 5^(2-1)
a(2) = -8 * 5^1
a(2) = -40

a(3) = -8 * 5^(3 - 1)
a(3) = -8 * 5^2
a(3) = -8 * 25
a(3) = -200

a(4) = -8 * 5^(4 - 1)
a(4) = -8 * 5^3
a(4) = -8 * 125
a(4) = -1000

a(5) = -8 * 5^(5 - 1)
a(5) = -8 * 5^4
a(5) = -8 * 625
a(5) = -5000

a(6) = -8 * 5^(6-1)
a(6) = -8 * 5^5
a(6) = -8 * 3125
a(6) = -25,000

the first 6 terms are : -8, -40, -200, -1000, -5000, -25,000

So if John gives a pen and pencil to each and all of them are over we know that the no. of pencils and pens should be the same
So we will find the LCM of 15 and 40 that is equal to 120
So John brought 120/15 that is 8 packets of pen and 120/40 that is three packets of pencils

To obtain the number of centimeters from a distance measured in meters, move the decimal point _____.two places righttwo places

castortr0y [4]

The answer is the second option: Two places left.

Therefore, the complete text is: "To obtain the number of centimeters from a distance measured in meters, move the decimal point Two places left ".

The explanation is:

1 meter has 100 centimeters, then, if you have a distance of 45.55 centimeters and you want to know this value in meters, you need to divide it by 100 or, in others words, you need to move the decimal point two places left:

=(45.55 centimeters)(1 meter/100 centimeters)
=(45.55x1)/100
=0.4555 meters

Hi ;-)

$-\frac{1}{3}-(-\frac{1}{2})=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{2}{6}+\frac{3}{6}=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}\\\\3\frac{1}{3}-5=-(5-3\frac{1}{3})=-(4\frac{3}{3}-3\frac{1}{3})=-1\frac{2}{3}\\\\-1\frac{4}{5}-(-2\frac{7}{8})=-1\frac{4}{5}+2\frac{7}{8}=-1\frac{32}{40}+2\frac{35}{40}=2\frac{35}{40}-1\frac{32}{40}=1\frac{3}{40}\\\\-3\frac{3}{8}-\frac{7}{8}=-(3\frac{3}{8}+\frac{7}{8})=-3\frac{10}{8}=-3\frac{5}{4}=-4\frac{1}{4}\\\\4\frac{3}{4}-(-1\frac{1}{12})=4\frac{9}{12}+1\frac{1}{12}=5\frac{10}{12}$

What are the domain and range of each relation?

kakasveta [241]

Answers:

The domain of the graph is {-3, -1, 1, 4}. The range of the graph is {-4, -1, 1, 4}

The domain of the set of ordered pairs is {-4, -3, 1}. The range of the set of ordered pairs is {1, 3, 4}

====================================================

Recall that the domain is the set of allowed x values. All we do is list the unique x coordinates of each point which are -3, -1, 1 and 4. The range is the set of y values so we just list the unique y coordinates of each point which are -4, -1, 1 and 4.

The same will happen with the other problem as well. The set of points listed is pretty much identical to the first problem, but the points haven't been graphed, but instead their coordinates have been listed out. The first coordinate is the x coordinate. The second coordinate is the y coordinate. Each point is in the form (x,y).

How do you this? I need help for this.

X=-3
-4x=-2x+6
Add -2x to -4x
-2x=6
Divide -2x on both sides
x=-3
