Answer:

<em>-3/2 and 1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the  arithmetic sequence  (y+2) (y+3) and (2y²+1), the common difference is gotten by taking the difference in their terms. For example if we have 3 terms T1, T2, T3... the common difference d = T2-T1 = T3-T2

From the  sequence given;

T1 = y+2, T2 = y+3 and T3 = 2y²+1

d = y+3-(y+2) = 2y²+1- (y+3)

open the parenthesis

y+3-y-2 = 2y²+1- y-3

1 = 2y²+1- y-3

1 = 2y²- y-2

2y²- y-2-1 = 0

2y²- y-3 =0

Factorize the resulting expression

2y²- y-3 =0

2y²- 2y+3y-3 =0

2y(y-1)+3(y-1) = 0

(2y+3)(y-1) = 0

2y+3 = 0 and y-1 = 0

2y = -3 and y =1

y = -3/2 and 1

<em>Hence the possible values of y are -3/2 and 1</em>

A quantity with an initial value of 7600 decays exponentially at a rate of 55% every 7 days. What is the value of the quantity a
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

1539

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using the Exponential decay formula

= A(t) = Ao(1 - r) ^t

Ao = Initial Amount invested = 7600

r = Decay rate = 55% = 0.54

t = time in weeks = 2

Hence:

A(t) = 7600(1 - 0.55)²

A(t) = 7600 × (0.45)²

A(t) = 1539

Therefore, the value of the quantity after 2 weeks is 1539

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the the solving equation is triple the slope of the given equation. Therefore, the y coefficient must also be triple of the other y coefficient.

What is the product?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

5/4k^2

Step-by-step explanation:

P=5\dfrac{k}{6}\times \dfrac{3}{2k^3}.

We will be using the following property of exponents:

\dfrac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}.

We have

P\\\\\\=5\dfrac{k}{6}\times\dfrac{3}{2k^3}\\\\\\=\dfrac{5}{6}\times\dfrac{3}{2}k^{1-3}\\\\\\=\dfrac{5}{4}k^{-2}=\dfrac{5}{4k^2}.

Thus, the required product is \dfrac{5}{4k^2}.
