Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a1 = - 2
an = a1 * r^(n - 1)
a6 = -486
-486 = - 2 * r^(6-1) Divide by 2
243 = r^5
The largest value that r could be is 3.
4^5 = 1024
(243)^(1/5) = 3
So the general formula
an = -2*(3)^(n - 1)
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
d=(x, y) =(8,-4) so 4th quadrant
Answer:
b^20/a^12
Step-by-step explanation:
b to the power of 20 over a to the power of 12
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = x - 5 → (1)
y = x² - 5x + 3 → (2)
Substitute y = x² - 5x + 3 into (1)
x² - 5x + 3 = x - 5 ← subtract x - 5 from both sides
x² - 6x + 8 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 2)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
Substitute each of these values into (1) for corresponding values of y
x = 2 → y = 2 - 5 = - 3 ⇒ (2, - 3 )
x = 4 → y = 4 - 5 = - 1 ⇒ (4, - 1 )
