2x + 2x+2 = -134
4x + 2 = -134
4x = -136 |: 4
x = -34

2x = 2 * (-34) = -68
2x + 2 = -68 + 2 = -66

This numbers are -66 and -68.

If we let x equal one of the numbers, and we let y equal the other number, we can define the equation as x+y=-134. Since we know, though, that the numbers are even and consecutive integers, we can say that y=x+2. We can then substitute our new value of y into the first equation which becomes x+x+2=-134. It can then be simplified as follows:
x+x+2=-134 \\ 2x+2=-134 \\ 2x=-136 \\ x=-68.
We have now solved for x, but we still need to know what y is, so we need the equation y=x+2 which we can evaluate and solve for y.
y=x+2 \\ y=-68+2 \\ y=-66
Now we have the two consecutive even integers whose sum is -134. They are -68 and -66.

Find the 13th term of the geometric sequence 3, -15, 75, ...​
Maksim231197 [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

an = a1 + (n - 1)d \\ d = a2 - a1 \\ a1 = 3 \\ a2 =  - 15 \\ d =  - 15 - 3 =  - 18

a13 = 3 + (12)  \times ( - 18) \\ a13 = 3 - 216  \\ a13 =  - 213

Which of the following expressions correctly uses the properties of summations to represent
madam [21]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

7 \cdot \sum_{i=1}^{18} i^2 + 9 \cdot 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:  \sum_{i=1}^{18} (7i^2+9)

Using properties of summation:

  • \sum_{i=1}^{n} (a+bi) =\sum_{i=1}^{n} a + \sum_{i=1}^{n} bi
  • \sum_{i=1}^{n} a = an

Using properties of summation in the given expression we have;

\sum_{i=1}^{18} (7i^2+9)

= \sum_{i=1}^{18} 7i^2 + \sum_{i=1}^{18} 9

=7 \cdot \sum_{i=1}^{18} i^2 + 9 \cdot 18

Therefore, the following given expression uses the properties of summation to represents is, 7 \cdot \sum_{i=1}^{18} i^2 + 9 \cdot 18

Which table shows the function y = -2x + 4? A) x y 0 4 1 2 2 0 B) x y 1 25 2 26 3 27 C) x y 0 -4 1 -2 2 0 D) x y -1 6 -2 8 -3 12
Svet_ta [14]
The answer is A.

From looking at the A graph, you must plug in the x variable into<span> y = -2x + 4.

y = -2(0) + 4 = 4
y = -2(1) + 4 = 2
y = -2(2) + 4 = 0</span>
