Answer:

First one is wrong. x should be 16.

Second one is not completely visible, so cannot say.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the last step, the divison by 4 yields:

x/16 = 1, so x = 16

Write an expression with parenthesis to represent the quantity: 170 divided by the sum of 25 and 9

zavuch27 [327]

Using parenthesis, we want to add 25 and 9 first before dividing.

170/ (25+9)

Enter the explicit rule for the sequence

Softa [21]

Let's take a look at the first few numbers in the sequence based on the given rule:

$a_{1}=6\\ a_{2}= \frac{1}{4}(6)\\ a_3= \frac{1}{4}\big( \frac{1}{4}\big)6= \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^2(6)\\ a_{4}= \frac{1}{4} \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^26= \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^3(6)$

Inspecting this pattern it seems like the power $\frac{1}{4}$ is being raised to is always one less than the number of the sequence, so if we were on the nth number in the sequence, that part of the expression would be $\big(\frac{1}{4} \big)^{n-1}$ . We also know that we'll be multiplying whatever we get from that by 6, so we can write the full explicit rule for our sequence as

$a_n=6\big( \frac{1}{4} \big)^{n-1}$

Where $a_n$ is the nth number in our sequence.
