In a geometric sequence dividing any term by the term before it yields the common multiplier.
Then x/(x+8) = (3x-8)/x
Solving for x:  reduces to x^2-10x +16 factor into (x-2)(x-8)
Then x = 2 or 8
2 produces a sequence of -2, 2, -2 ...
8 produces a sequence of 4, 8, 16 ...

A house that costs $125,400 appreciates at a rate of 3% each year. What is the value of the
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The value after three years is $137,027.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of the home after 3 years

Generally, we have the exponential formula as follows;

y = P(1 + r)^t

where P is the original cost which is $124,400

r is the rate of increase which is 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

t is the time which is 3 years

Substituting these values;

y = 125400(1 + 0.03)^3 = $137,027.97

Write a linear inequality in two variables that has (-1, 3) as a solution but does not have (4,0) as a solution.
Stels [109]

Answer:  y ≤ -x + 2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

There are an infinite number of possible solutions.

Plot the two points, draw any line between them such that the two points are NOT connected, then choose the inequality symbol that shades (-1, 3).

Here is one solution that satisfies the requirements.   y ≤ -x + 2

Here is another: y < -x + 3

And another: y > x + 3

And one more: y ≥ x + 4
