Answer:

\large\boxed{a(n)=16\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}}

Step-by-step explanation:

a(1)=16\\\\a(2)=16:2=8\\\\a(3)=8:2=4\\\\a(4)=4:2=2\\\\a(5)=2:2=1\\\\a(n)=a_{n-1}:2=\dfrac{1}{2}a_{n-1}

This is a geometric series with the common ratio r=\dfrac{1}{2} and the first term a_1=16.

An explicit formula of the n-th term of a geometric sequence:

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

Substitute:

a_n=16\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}

A membership to the gym costs $25 per person in 1995. The membership cost has increased by an average of $6 per person for each
inysia [295]

Answer:

The cost of a gym membership would be 109

Step-by-step explanation:

2009-1995=14

thats how many years apart from each other

so its been 14 years $6 for each year so 14x6=84

so the regular price was $25 and went up 84 dollars last 14 years.

25+84=109 so the price of gym membership would be $109

How would I do question 5 I don’t understand
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a) f(0)=4

b) f(-2)=2

c) x∈{-8,-4,4,8}

d) x∈{-9,-3,3,9}

e) x∈(-∞,-9)∪(-3,3)∪(9,∞).

f)  x∈[-9,-3]∪[3,9]

g) Domain is x∈[-10,10]. Range is y∈[-4,4]. Zeros are at elements of x in {-9,-3,3,9}

h) Increasing on x∈ (-6,0) ∪ (6,10) and

decreasing on x∈ (-10,-6) ∪ (0,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) f(0) means what is the y-coordinate of the point at x=0.

So find 0 on the x-axis. I'm going to go up because the curve is at y=4 there.

Conclusion: f(0)=4.

b) f(-2) means what is the y-coordinate of the point at x=-2.

So find -2 on the x-axis. I'm going to go up because the curve is at y=2 there.

Conclusion:  f(-2)=2.

c) f(x)=-2 means what is x when y=-2.  So go on the y-axis and find -2. Now anything on that line y=-2 (horizontal line going through y=-2 on the y-axis) we need to look at.

There are 4 value we need to look at then.

x=-8

x=-4

x=4

x=8

At all of these the y-coordinate is -2.

d) f(x)=0 means what is x when y=0.  So go on the y-axis and find 0. Now anything on that line y=0 (horizontal line going through y=0 on the y-axis; also knowing as the x-axis for y=0) we need to look at.

There are 4 values we need to look at then.

x=-9

x=-3

x=3

x=9

e)  f(x)>0 means where is the curve above the x-axis.

The curve is above the x-axis:

  • Before x=-9
  • Between x=-3 and x=3
  • After x=9

The interval notation is:

(-∞,-9)∪(-3,3)∪(9,∞).

d) f(x)≥0 means where is the curve below or on the x-axis (also known as y=0).

The curve is below or on the x-axis:

  • Between -9 and -3 (inclusive of both endpoints because they include y=0).
  • Between 3 and 9 (inclusive of both endpoints because they include y=0).

The interval notation is:

[-9,-3]∪[3,9]

g) The domain is where the curve exists for the x-values.

The domain is all real numbers between -10 and 10 (inclusive of both).

The curve starts at x=-10 and stops at x=10. The function exists a y value for any number between -10 and 10 (including both).

Interval notation is:

[-10,10]

The range is where the curve exists for the y-values.

Looking from bottom to top I see that it starts at y=-4 and stops at y=4. I notice the curve exists at some point between those two horizontal lines. It also exists at both of those endpoints" -4 and 4.

The range is between -4 and 4 (including both).

Interval notation is:

[-4,4]

The zeros are where the graph crosses the x-axis.

The graph crosses the x-axis at:

x=-9

x=-3

x=3

x=9

h)  Reading left to right the graph increases when you see the curve going up.

I see this from x=-6 to x=0 (exclusive of both).

I see this from x=6 to x=10 (exclusive of both).

So interval notation is (-6,0) ∪ (6,10).

Reading left to right the graph decreases when you see the curve going down.

I see this from x=-10 to x=-6 ( exclusive of both).

I see this from x=0 to x=6 (exclusive of both).
