Is the set of numbers one 1,5,25 and 125 a geometric sequence

1 answer:

6 0

Short answer: Yes.
Each member of the sequence is multiplied by 5 to get to the next member of the sequence.

Find the general equation.
tn = a*5^(n - 1)

Example
t4 = 1*5^(4 - 1)
t4 = 1*5^3
t4 = 125 just as the sequence shows.

t5 = 1^5^4
t5 = 625 Any member of the sequence can be found this way.

1. What is the solution to the system below?<br> x+y=5<br> 1x- y=3

Alika [10]

Answer:

(4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=5

x- y=3

Add the equations together to eliminate y

x+y=5

x- y=3

--------------------

2x = 8

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

Now we can find y

x+y = 5

4+y = 5

Subtract 4 from each side

4+y-4 = 5-4

y =1

2) Brian purchased pens for 75 cents each and pencils for 40 cents each he bought total of 22 writing utensils for $11.95. How m

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

13 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the pens and y be the pencils

Given:

Brian purchased pens for 75 cents each and pencils for 40 cents each he bought total of 22 writing utensils for $11.95.

Total pens and pencils is 22

So, $x+y=22$ ----------------(1)

And he bought all utensils for $11.95. and each pen for 75 cents and pencils for 40 cents.

$0.75x+0.40y=11.95$ ------------(2)

solve equation 1 and equation 2 for x and y.

From equation 1.

$x+y=22$

$y=22-x$ ----------------(3)

put y value in equation 2.

$0.75x+0.4(22-x)=11.95$

$0.75x+0.4\times 22-0.4x=11.95$

$0.75x+8.8-0.4x=11.95$

$0.75x-0.4x=11.95-8.8$

$0.35x=3.15$

$x=\frac{3.15}{0.35}$

$x=9$

Now substitute x value in equation 3.

$y=22-9$

$y=13$

So, he buy 13 pencils.

Solve the equation: 13W - 2(4W + 1) = W - 58 *

Sergio [31]

Answer:

W = - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

13W - 2(4W + 1) = W - 58

13W - 8W - 2 = W - 58

13W - 8W - W = 2 - 58

4W = - 56

W = - 56 : 4

W = - 14

Find the inverse of f(x)=4x+3

zhuklara [117]

$f(x) = 4x+3\\\\\text{Write f(x) as y = 4x+3}\\\\\text{Replace x with y,}\\\\x =4y +3\\\\\text{Solve for y:}\\\\ \implies x =4y+3\\\\\implies 4y = x-3 \\\\\implies y =\dfrac{x-3}4\\\\\implies f^{-1} (x) = \dfrac{x-3}4\\\\\text{This is the inverse of f(x)}$
