$a_0=600\\\\a_1=a_0 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}} = 300 = 600 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\a_2=a_1 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}} = 150= 300 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\a_3=a_2 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}} = 75 = 150 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}$

So, the explicit formula is for n

$\boxed{a_n=a_0\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^n=600\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^n}}$

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Answer:

seems to easy to be true but the answer is 7/12 cause it's a fraction and it can't be simplified

Given the function f(x) = 2|x + 6| – 4, for what values of x is f(x) = 6?

lara [203]

Answer:

x = -1 , - 11,

Step-by-step explanation:

| x | = x

|- x | = x

f(x) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

x = - 1 , f( - 1) = 2 | - 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 1 , f( 1 ) = 2 | 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 7 | - 4 = 14 - 4 = 10 , False

x = 11, f( 11 ) = 2 | 11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 17 | - 4 = 34 - 4 = 30 , False

x = - 11, f( - 11) = 2 | -11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 14 , f( 14 ) = 2 | 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = -14 , f( - 14 ) = 2 | - 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 8 | - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 , False

x = - 26 , f( - 26) = 2 | -26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | -20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = 26, f( 26 ) = 2 | 26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 32 | - 4 = 64 - 4 = 60 , False

Given f ( x ) = 6

f( x ) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6 = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6 + 4 = 2 | x + 6| - 4 + 4 [ adding 4 to both sides ]

10 = 2 | x + 6 | + 0

5 = | x + 6 | [ dividing both sides by 2 ]

$- 5 =\ ( x+ 6) \ = 5\\\\$ $[ \ | x | = a\ => \ -a \ = x \ = a \ ]$

$- 5 - 6 = \ x + 6 - 6 \ = \ 5 - 6\\$ $[ \ subtracting \ by \ 6 \ ]$

$-11 = \ x \ = - 1$
