eu não sei, desculpe companheiro, não me denuncie
Y=12.5x
because 12.5 is the constant and this is a directly proportional equation
476miles per 14gallons of gas
is the same as 476 / 14 = 34
so 34miles / 1gallon of gas.
34x =578 where x is the number of gallons
578 / 34 = 17gallons
Answer:
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:
an = a0*r^(n-1)
Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:
a0*r^(n-1) = an
a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]
We then apply the data given to us
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120
The first term of the sequence is -120.
