If x=-6, then y=-3

Further explanation:

Direct proportion means that if a quanitity increases the other quantity also increases and vice versa

The direct proportion is written as:

If y and x vary directly then

y∝x

y=kx

where k is the proportionality constant

If k=1/2 then the expression will be:

y=\frac{1}{2}x\\Putting\ x=-6\\y=\frac{1}{2}* (-6)\\y=-3

If x=-6, then y=-3

tester [92]
So,

1st year: 3
2nd year: 4(first year), which is 12
3rd year: 6(first year), which is 18

The sum of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years is 3 + 12 + 18 = 33

Now, multiply 33 by the price at which Mr. Jackson sold each computer ($185).

We get $6105.  Mr. Jackson's gross profit was $6105.

What is the recursive formula when given the explicit formula for the following geometric sequence?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a careful look at a(n) =  6(-8)^(n-1).

The first term is 6.  This is the result if we let n = 1; 6(-8)^0 = 6(1) = 6.  Thus, we can immediately eliminate possible answer choices A and D.

What's the next term?  Knowing that the first term, a(1), is 6, the next term is found by multiplying this 6 by (-8)^1, obtaining -48.

The next (third) term is found by multiplying this -48 by (-8)^2, obtaining -48*(+64), or - 3072.

Note that the sign of (-8)^(n-1) alternates, being odd when n-1 is odd and even when n-1 is even.

Answer C is the correct one.
