Answer:

  \text{B.  }a_n=625(0.2)^{n-1}\quad\text{for $n>1$}\\625,125,25,5,1

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

  a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

In this problem, you are given a1=625 and r=0.2. Filling in those values gives the explicit formula ...

  a_n=625(0.2)^{n-1}

You can either evaluate this function for values of n = 1 through 5, or you can multiply each term by the common ratio to get the next.

  a1 = 625

  a2 = 625·0.2 = 125

  a3 = 125·0.2 = 25

  a4 = 25·0.2 = 5

  a5 = 5·0.2 = 1

Explain how to rewrite the equation -2x - 6y = 18 in slope-intercept form.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

y = -1/3x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - 6y = 18

We want to solve for y since the slope intercept form is y =mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Add 2x to each side

-2x-6y +2x = 2x+18

-6y = 2x+18

Divide each side by -6

-6y/-6 = 2x/-6 + 18/-6

y = -1/3x -3

This is in slope intercept form with the slope -1/3 and the y intercept -3

Choose the correct simplification of the expression a to the 7th power times b to the 8th power all over a to the 4th power time
defon
First you need to write the numerical equation for the given:

\frac{ a^{7}  b^{8} }{ a^{4}  b^{4} }

When you will simplify this fraction, you can divide the expressions. Based on the law of exponents when you divide like terms with different exponents, you can subtract the exponents of the denominator from the numerator. 

So if you will simplify the equation:

\frac{ a^{7} b^{8} }{ a^{4} b^{4} }

Subtract the following:

Exponents of a 7-4 and;
Exponents of b 8-4

Your answer should be 
a^{3}  b^{4}
