An=a1r^(n-1)

given
a5=1/24
a10=1/768

we know that
a5=1/24=a1r^(5-1) and
a10=1/768=a1r^(10-1)

so
1/24=a1r^4
1/768=a1r^9

(a1r^9)/(a1r^4)=r^5=(1/768)/(1/24)=1/32

r^5=1/32
take 5th root of both sides
r=1/2

we have
a5=a1r^4=1/24
evaluate r^4 or (1/2)^4
1/16
a1(1/16)=1/24
times both sides by 16/1
a1=16/24
a1=2/3

the first term is 2/3

Answer:

-21 = slope

-69 = intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function :

f(x) = - 7x +. 9

Suppose you add 2 to the input of f to create a new function g,

Add 2 to the input of f to create g

g(x) = f(x + 2) = 7(x +2) + 9

g(x) = 7x + 14 + 9

g(x) = 7x + 23

then multiply the output of function g by –3 to create function h.

h(x) = - 3(g(x)) = - 3(7x + 23)

h(x) = - 21x - 69

What are the slope and y-intercept of the graph of function h?

The slope and y intercept are :

From y = mx + c ; comparing the relation ;

Where m = slope ; c = intercept

m = - 21 = slope

c = -69 = intercept
