Answer:
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.
A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.
B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.
Hope this helps!
4x - 24 = -2x + 30
4x + 2x = 30 + 24
6x = 54
x = 9
answer: the number is 9
Answer:
22.75
Step-by-step explanation:
you substitute the 7 in for c and d. Following PEMDAS, you would then do (1/4) multiplied by 7 and 3 times 7. add those 2 together and you get 22.75 :)
we know that
If a ordered pair (x,y) is a solution of the equation, then the ordered pair must satisfy the equation
we have the equation

Let's verify all the cases to determine the solution to the problem.
<u>case A)</u> point 
Substitute the values of x and y in the equation



-------> is true
therefore
The point
is a solution of the equation
<u>case B)</u> point 
Substitute the values of x and y in the equation



-------> is true
therefore
The point
is a solution of the equation
<u>case C)</u> point 
Substitute the values of x and y in the equation



-------> is not true
therefore
The point
is not a solution of the equation
<u>case D)</u> point 
Substitute the values of x and y in the equation



-------> is not true
therefore
The point
is not a solution of the equation
therefore
<u>the answer is </u>


Answer: f(x)= 2x+3
Step-by-step explanation: f(x)=(x-1)2+5
2x-2+5
F(x)=2x+3
