Answer:

The first six terms of the sequence are: -1, -2, -4, -8, -16 and -32

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is:

a_1=-1\\a_n=2*a_{n-1}

So, for finding the first six terms of the sequence, we need to replace n by the numbers 1 to 6 and we get:

a_1=-1\\a_2=2*a_{2-1} =2*a_1\\a_3=2*a_{3-1} =2*a_2\\a_4=2*a_{4-1} =2*a_3\\a_5=2*a_{5-1} =2*a_4\\a_6=2*a_{6-1} =2*a_5\\

That means that the term n is 2 times the last term. Then, replacing the values of a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4 and a_5, we get:

a_1=-1\\a_2=2*(-1)=-2\\a_3=2*(-2)=-4\\a_4=2*(-4)=-8\\a_5=2*(-8)=-16\\a_6=2*(-16)=-32\\

So, The first six terms of the sequence are: -1, -2, -4, -8, -16 and -32

Paul has 30$ to spend at the fair if the admission to the fair is 5$ and the rides cost 3.50 each how many rides can paul go on
Margaret [11]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with $30.

Subtract $5 for the admission: $30 - $5 = $25.

Now he has $25 to spend on rides. Each ride costs $3.5, so we divide $25 by $3.50.

$25/$3.50 = 7.14

Since the number of rides must be a whole number, he can go on 7 rides.

AnnZ [28]

Given the following equation:

x^3-4x^2-20x=-48

We will find the real solutions to the equation by graphing.

We will rewrite the given equation as follows:

x^3-4x^2-20x+48=0

The graph of the function will be as shown in the following figure:

As shown the function has 3 real solutions which are the x-intercepts

So, the answer will be:

x=-4,2,6
