Answer:

the summation of 4 times negative 3 to the n minus 1 power, from n equals 4 to 15.

a_n=5 \ for \ n=1 \\
a_n=-10 \ for \ n=2 \\
a_n=20 \ for \ n=3

You can see it's a geometric sequence because the ratio is constant (\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{a_2}{a_1}).
The nth term of a geometric sequence:
a_n=a_1 \times r^{n-1}

a_1=5 \\
r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{-10}{5}=-2 \\ \\
a_n=5(-2)^{n-1}

It has to be the sum for term 4 through term 15, so n=4 and the number above the sigma is 15.

Your answer:
\sum^{15}_{n=4} 5(-2)^{n-1}

What is the effect on the graph of f(x) = 1 when it is transformed to
ivann1987 [24]

Answer: C) Shifted 16 units down

The minus 16 at the end is directly the reason why. Think of y = 1/x, and subtracting 16 from both sides to get y-16 = (1/x) - 16. The y-16 will shift every point down 16 units. For instance, the point (1, 1) moves to (1, -15).

The function g(x) = –3x2 – 36x – 60 written in vertex form is g(x) = –3(x + 6)2 + 48. Which is one of the transformations applie
navik [9.2K]
The vertex form of the function gives the vertex as (-6,48). The vertex of f(x)=x^2 is (0,0) so from this information, the vertex is moved LEFT 6 and UP 48. This cancels out two options. The coefficient -3 tells us that the graph is flipped or reflected over the x-axis (negative sign flips graph) and that all y-values will be 3 times as large. Larger y-values for the same x inputs makes the graph narrower.

How many, and what type of, solutions does 4x² + 12x + 9 = 0 have? 2 irrational solutions 1 rational solution 2 nonreal solution
SVEN [57.7K]

The discriminant is

\sqrt{ {12}^{2}  - 4(4)(9)}

which is 0.

Since the discriminant is 0, there is only one real solution.
