The answer is D
here's your answer
B is the first term
c is the common ratio
if the first term is x and the 2nd is y then x times c=y
so
-5 times what=10?
what=-2
c=-2
the first term is -5
-5(-2)^(n-1)
b=-5
c=-2
Answer:
y = 4
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply first equation by 3
3×(5x+4y)= -14 ➡ 15x + 12y = -42
multiply second equation by -5
-5×(3x+6y)= 6➡ -15x -30y = -30
now add both equations up
15x +12y -15x -30y = -42 -30 (15x will eliminate -15x)
-18y = -72
y = 4 use this to find value of x
3x + 6×4 = 6 ➡ ex = -18 ➡ x = -6
Check the picture below.
that's done just with the provided links, and I simply ran a line, so it'll be thereabouts, roughly between 13 and 14, depending on how you hang the line.
anyhow, if you have a TI(texas instruments) 89+ or higher, you can just provide the value pairs of the data and run a quadratic regression, or an exponential.
there are some online regression calculators as well.
