Go 12 units to the left of 4, you get -8.

Hope this helps!

You start at 12 in the number line then move 4 spaces backwards so 12-4 would equal 8

Answer:

$a_n=-3(3)^{n-1}$ ; {-3,-9, -27,- 81, -243, ...}

$a_n=-3(-3)^{n-1}$ ; {-3, 9,-27, 81, -243, ...}

$a_n=3(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}$ ; {3, 1.5, 0.75, 0.375, 0.1875, ...}

$a_n=243(\frac{1}{3})^{n-1}$ ; {243, 81, 27, 9, 3, ...}

Step-by-step explanation:

The first explicit equation is

$a_n=-3(3)^{n-1}$

At n=1,

$a_1=-3(3)^{1-1}=-3$

At n=2,

$a_2=-3(3)^{2-1}=-9$

At n=3,

$a_3=-3(3)^{3-1}=-27$

Therefore, the geometric sequence is {-3,-9, -27,- 81, -243, ...}.

The second explicit equation is

$a_n=-3(-3)^{n-1}$

At n=1,

$a_1=-3(-3)^{1-1}=-3$

At n=2,

$a_2=-3(-3)^{2-1}=9$

At n=3,

$a_3=-3(-3)^{3-1}=-27$

Therefore, the geometric sequence is {-3, 9,-27, 81, -243, ...}.

The third explicit equation is

$a_n=3(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}$

At n=1,

$a_1=3(\frac{1}{2})^{1-1}=3$

At n=2,

$a_2=3(\frac{1}{2})^{2-1}=1.5$

At n=3,

$a_3=3(\frac{1}{2})^{3-1}=0.75$

Therefore, the geometric sequence is {3, 1.5, 0.75, 0.375, 0.1875, ...}.

The fourth explicit equation is

$a_n=243(\frac{1}{3})^{n-1}$

At n=1,

$a_1=243(\frac{1}{3})^{1-1}=243$

At n=2,

$a_2=243(\frac{1}{3})^{2-1}=81$

At n=3,

$a_3=243(\frac{1}{3})^{3-1}=27$

Therefore, the geometric sequence is {243, 81, 27, 9, 3, ...}.

Write the equation of each line in slope-intercept form and identify the slope. 4x=2+y

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

y = 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 4x=2+y

First, subtract 2 on both sides to isolate out y. (Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b)

Once subtracted, you get: 4x-2=y

Rearrange it, and you get: y=4x-2

Marcos make his famous salad Jackson by mixing 5 1/4 ounces of olive oil with one and a half ounces of vinegar. How much vinegar

Anika [276]

Answer:

8 ounces of vinegar

36 ounces of dressing

Step-by-step explanation:

Marco makes his famous salad Jackson by mixing 5 1/4 ounces of olive oil with 1 1/2 ounces of vinegar.

Olive oil Vinegar

5 1/4 1 1/2

28 x

Write a proportion:

$\dfrac{5\frac{1}{4}}{28}=\dfrac{1\frac{1}{2}}{x}\\ \\5\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot x=28\cdot 1\dfrac{1}{2}\ [\text{Cross multiply}]\\ \\\dfrac{21}{4}x=28\cdot \dfrac{3}{2}\\ \\\dfrac{21 x}{4}=42\\ \\x=42\div \dfrac{21}{4}\\ \\x=42\cdot \dfrac{4}{21}\\ \\x=2\cdot 4\\ \\x=8\ ounces$

Marco will make

$28+8=36$ ounces of dressing
