Answer:
a_n = 2^(n - 1) 3^(3 - n)
Step-by-step explanation:
9,6,4,8/3,…
a1 = 3^2
a2 = 3 * 2
a3 = 2^2
As we can see, the 3 ^x is decreasing and the 2^ y is increasing
We need to play with the exponent in terms of n
Lets look at the exponent for the base of 2
a1 = 3^2 2^0
a2 = 3^1 2^1
a3 = 3^ 0 2^2
an = 3^ 2^(n-1)
I picked n-1 because that is where it starts 0
n = 1 (1-1) =0
n=2 (2-1) =1
n=3 (3-1) =2
Now we need to figure out the exponent for the 3 base
I will pick (3-n)
n =1 (3-1) =2
n =2 (3-2) =1
n=3 (3-3) =0

Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given expression is:
Now, by logarithm rules, we know
if 
, then x =
Comparing here, b = 10 and z = 2
⇒ y = 
or,
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...
5(s+4) = (s+32)+4
5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20
s = 4
The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...
father : son = 5 : 1
The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...
father : son = 40 : 8
So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...
father: 36; son: 4.
Answer:
x = -48
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 2 = 5(x + 10)
expand the 5(x+10)
4x + 2 = 5x + 50
-2 both sides
4x + 2 - 2 = 5x + 50 - 2
simplify
4x = 5x + 48
-5x both sides
4x - 5x = 5x + 48 - 5x
simplify
-x = 48
÷ (-1) both sides
-x ÷ (-1) = 48 ÷ (-1)
simplify
x = -48
The answer is x = -48.
Answer:
82.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the height is given below:
As we know that each right triangle contains the top angle of 20 degrees
So, the right angle & the bottom corner angle equivalent to
= 180 - 90 - 20
= 70 degrees
Now the height is
tangent = opposite leg ÷ adjacent leg
tan (70°) = height ÷ 30 cm
height = 30 cm × tan (70°)
= 82.4 cm
