Answer:

c. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The starting equation to find f(22) is 22=8(x-4)-18

2. Next, distribute(multiply) the 8 to the x and -4 which would make the equation 22=8x-32-18

3. After that, combine the like terms (-32-18) which would give us 22=8x-50

4. Now, we can also combine the 22 and the -50 but they are on different sides of the equation. So, we have to move the -50 to the left side of the equation by adding 50 to both sides which would cancel -50 on the right side, thus "moving" it to the left side which would give us 72=8x

5. Lastly, we have to isolate x right? so to get rid of the 8, you divide both sides by 8 since 8 is multiplying with x which would give us 9=x

*If you are allowed to use a graphing calculator, you can put the equation into the graph by hitting the y= button and going to the table (2nd, Graph). This makes everything 100x easier.

Write the nth term of the following sequence in terms of the first term of the sequence.

vovikov84 [41]

Givens

Sequence 2, - 4, 8, -16, 32 ....

First term = a = 2

Problem

Find the nth term

tn = (-1 )^(n -1) * (a)^n answer or

tn = (-1)^(n - 1) * 2^n

where a is defined as the first term (it usually is given that designation).

Try a few to make sure the formula is correct

<em>n = 1</em>

t1 = (-1)^(1 - 1) * 2^1

t1 = (-1)^0 * 2

t1 = 1 * 2 = 2

<em>n =2</em>

t2 = (-1)^(2 - 1) * 2^2 = (-1)^1 * 4 = -4

Customers who purchase museum tickets in advance receive 10% off the regular admission price. Anias paid a sale price of $54. He

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Regular price of a ticket = $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

On purchasing museum tickets in advance customers get 10% off on the regular price of ticket.

Anias paid the sale price of ticket = $54

To find the regular price of ticket.

Solution:

Let the regular price of ticket in dollars be $=x$

Discount offered for booking in advance = 10%

Discount amount in dollars = $Discount\ percent \times Regular\ price=10% \times x =0.10 \times x =0.1x$

Sale price of a ticket in dollars= Regular price - Discount amount= $x-0.1x=0.9x$

Sale price given for a ticket = $54

So, we have:

$0.9x=54$

Dividing both sides by 0.9

$\frac{0.9x}{0.9}=\frac{54}{0.9}$

∴ $x=60$

∴ Regular price of a ticket = $60
