Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

a(n) = (-n)^3 where n = 1,2,3,...

Discussion:

The pattern 1,8,27, 64... is immediately recognizable as the the cube of the positive integers. But this question has a minus sign appearing before each entry, suggesting we try this:

- 1 = (-1)^3

-8 = (-2)^3

-27 = (-3)^3

-64 = (-4)^3

That's what the problem statement asked for . The answer is equivalently

-1 * (n^3)

Thank you,

MrB

The area of a parallelogram is modeled by the formula, A = lw. Solve the equation for w.

Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly! I will be assisting you with answering this question today, and will teach you how to handle it on your own in the future.

First, let's look at our problem.
"A = L * W, solve for W."

This is basic algebra, but I will teach you how to tackle this problem, so you can do it on your own.

So, we have the following equation:
A = L * W
To solve for W, we need to get it alone on one side of the equation. Currently, it is not alone, but rather is being multiplied by L.
To isolate W, we need to perform the opposite order of operations on both sides of the equation.

A = L * W
Divide both sides by L to isolate and solve for W.

W = $\frac{A}{L}$ is our solution.

The following equation matches the answer choice "C".

Your answer is "C."

I hope this helps!

I need help with number 19

Let's start by understanding that the graph is a linear line. We have a common difference if 4.5 for every 10x we have more.

We can start by finding the gradient, using rise over run. Let's take (10, 4.5) and (20, 9)

Our rise is 9 - 4.5 = 4.5 and our run is 10. Then, our gradient becomes 4.5/10 = 0.45

Now, we can substitute points using the point-slope form.

y - 4.5 = 0.45(x - 10)
y - 4.5 = 0.45x - 4.5
Hence, our line becomes y = 0.45x and you can verify by substituting in points from the table.

Which equation correctly uses point (–2, –6) to write the equation of this line in point-slope form? Y – 6 = y minus 6 equals St

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard way of writing equation of a line in a point-slope form is as given;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

m is the slope of the line

(x0,y0) is a point on the line.

Given the point (-2,-6), in order to determine with of the equation that correctly uses the point, we will substitute the point into the formula and get the necessary equation.

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

y - (-6) = m(x-(-2))

y+6 = m(x+2)

Since we are not given the slope, let's assume the slope is 5/2

The equation becomes y+6 =5/2(x+2). Option D is correct
