Answer:

The sum of first seven term of series is 4372.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the sum of first seven term of given series

Given series is 4, 12, 36, 108,

we can see the pattern of series is each new term is multiplied by 3 with previous term.

4, 12, 36, 108,

This is in the form of geometric series

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}

where r=3

\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is} a_1=4

a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:

r=3,\:a_n=4\cdot \:3^{n-1}

so, 4, 12, 36, 108, 324, 972, 2916,..

\mathrm{Geometric\:sequence\:sum\:formula:}

a_1\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}

\mathrm{Plug\:in\:the\:values:}

=4\cdot \frac{1-3^7}{1-3}=4372

Therefore, the sum of first seven term of series is 4372.

The numbers are multiplying by 3 each time. For example 4x3=12. 12x3=36 so you would add 4+12+36+108+324+972+2916 = 4373

If f(x)=4x+3 and g(x)=x^2-3 then f(g(2))
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

<em>f(g(2))=7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Composite Function</u>

Given f(x) and g(x) as real functions, the composite function (f\circ g)(x) is defined as:

(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))

It can be found by substituting g into f.

The given functions are:

f(x)=4x+3

g(x)=x^2-3

It's required to find f( g( 2 ) )

Find g(2):

g(2)=2^2-3

Operating:

g(2)=4-3 =1

g(2)=1

Now find f(1):

f(1)=4(1)+3

f(1)=4+3 =7

Thus:

f( g( 2 ) )=7

Find the domain and range of the relation. Also determine whether the relation is a function.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The relation is a function!

Your Domain should be...

{-1, 1, 7, 9}

Your Range should be...

{-1, 8, 9}

WHY?

Your domain is always your x-coordinates, which are the first coordinates in a pair.

Your range is always your y-coordinates, which are the second coordinates in a pair.

When listing the points, it's important to remain a relation CANNOT be a function if the x's repeat, so luckily, they do not repeat.

Also, when listing points for your range, remember, if they repeat, you should only count one of the numbers, as you can see from the answer, there was two nines, but instead I put one.
