Answer:

x=-21

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 x + 9 =2

Subtract 9 from each side

1/3 x +9-9 =2-9

1/3x = -7

Multiply by 3 to isolate x

3*1/3x = -7*3

x = -21

One term of a geometric sequence is a4=135. The common ratio is r=3. Write an explicit rule for the nth term.

Anni [7]

Answer:

$a_{n} = 5 * 3^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the nth term of a geometric sequence, you have the general formula:

$a_{1} *r^{n-1}$

where a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio. In order to find the 4th term, we can substitute what we have(n is 4 because we are looking for the fourth term):

135 = $a_{1} * 3^{4 - 1}$

135 = $a_{1} * 3^3$

135 = $27a_{1}$

$a_{1} = 5$

Now, we can substitute the first term back in:

$a_{n} = 5 * 3^{n-1}$

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Part 1) $-1.25$ -------> $2.75/(-2.2)$

Part 2) $-4\frac{1}{3}$ --------> $(-2\frac{3}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

Part 3) $\frac{2}{3}$ ------> $(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})$

Part 4) $3$ ------> $(2\frac{1}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$2.75/(-2.2)$

To calculate the division problem convert the decimal number to fraction number

$2.75=275/100\\ -2.2=-22/10$

$(275/100)/(-22/10)$

Remember that

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(275/100)/(-22/10)=(275/100)*(-10/22)=-(275*10)/(22*100)=-(275)/(220)$

Simplify

Divide by 22 both numerator and denominator

$-(275)/(220)=-125/100=-1.25$

Part 2) we have

$(-2\frac{3}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

To calculate the division problem convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

$(-2\frac{3}{5})=-\frac{2*5+3}{5}=-\frac{13}{5}$

$(-\frac{13}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(-\frac{13}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})=(-\frac{13}{5})*(\frac{5}{3})=-\frac{13*5}{5*3}=-\frac{13}{3}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{13}{3}=-(\frac{12}{3}+\frac{1}{3})=-4\frac{1}{3}$

Part 3) we have

$(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})=(-\frac{10}{17})*(-\frac{17}{15})=\frac{10*17}{17*15}=\frac{10}{15}$

Simplify

Divide by 5 both numerator and denominator

$\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$

Part 4) we have

$(2\frac{1}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

To calculate the division problem convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

$(2\frac{1}{4})=\frac{2*4+1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}$

$(\frac{9}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(\frac{9}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})=(\frac{9}{4})*(\frac{4}{3})=\frac{9*4}{4*3}=\frac{9}{3}=3$
