1. x = 25 inches
2. Triangle c
Answer:
A)
Step-by-step explanation:
check that the formula in A works . . .
the 7th term should be 320
a(320) = 5(2)^7-1
= 5(2)^6
= 5(64)
= 320
The answer is the third one.
The way I think through these problems is that where you multiply (-7x), you use addition, and where you use addition (-4), you multiply.
The answers added together will equal the second number, -7, and multiplied will give you the third, -4.
What you had chosen as the answer was close. But 7.53+-0.53 equals positive 7, not negative. However they do round to -4 when multiplied.
The correct answer, -7.53 and 0.53, do equal -7 when added together and equal -4 when multiplied.
