A₁ = -8 This is the first term in an arithmetic sequence.
d = 3, the common difference

a(n) = a₁ + d(n-1)

a₇ = -8 + 3(7-1)
a₇ = -8 + 3(6)
a₇ = -8 + 18
a₇ = 10

To check:
a₁ = -8
a₂ = -8 + 3 = -5
a₃ = -5 + 3 = -2
a₄ = -2 + 3 = 1
a₅ = 1 + 3 = 4
a₆ = 4 + 3 = 7
a₇ = 7 + 3 = 10

Does this relation represent a function why or why not?

Serga [27]

Answer:

This is a function and it's because there's only one input for every output.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Although 5 and 1 both point to the same number this doesn't take away the validity of the function. :)

Solve the following equation:

Rama09 [41]

Complete the square.

$z^4 + z^2 - i\sqrt 3 = \left(z^2 + \dfrac12\right)^2 - \dfrac14 - i\sqrt3 = 0$

$\left(z^2 + \dfrac12\right)^2 = \dfrac{1 + 4\sqrt3\,i}4$

Use de Moivre's theorem to compute the square roots of the right side.

$w = \dfrac{1 + 4\sqrt3\,i}4 = \dfrac74 \exp\left(i \tan^{-1}(4\sqrt3)\right)$

$\implies w^{1/2} = \pm \dfrac{\sqrt7}2 \exp\left(\dfrac i2 \tan^{-1}(4\sqrt3)\right) = \pm \dfrac{2+\sqrt3\,i}2$

Now, taking square roots on both sides, we have

$z^2 + \dfrac12 = \pm w^{1/2}$

$z^2 = \dfrac{1+\sqrt3\,i}2 \text{ or } z^2 = -\dfrac{3+\sqrt3\,i}2$

Use de Moivre's theorem again to take square roots on both sides.

$w_1 = \dfrac{1+\sqrt3\,i}2 = \exp\left(i\dfrac\pi3\right)$

$\implies z = {w_1}^{1/2} = \pm \exp\left(i\dfrac\pi6\right) = \boxed{\pm \dfrac{\sqrt3 + i}2}$

$w_2 = -\dfrac{3+\sqrt3\,i}2 = \sqrt3 \, \exp\left(-i \dfrac{5\pi}6\right)$

$\implies z = {w_2}^{1/2} = \boxed{\pm \sqrt[4]{3} \, \exp\left(-i\dfrac{5\pi}{12}\right)}$

Based on the type of equations in the system, what is the greatest possible number of solutions? StartLayout Enlarged left-brace

krok68 [10]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

$x^2+y^2=9\\9x+2y=16$

Comparing $x^2+y^2=9$ with the general standard equation of a circle $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ .

The first equation is an <u>equation of a circle centred</u> at (0,0) with a Radius of 3.

The second equation 9x+2y=16 is a <u>straight line equation.</u>

A straight line can only intersect a circle at a maximum of 2 points.

Therefore the greatest possible number of solutions to the equations in the system is 2.
