Find an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence. 2, -8, 32, -128, ...

1 answer:

8 0

A1=2
a2=-8
a3=32
a4=-128

a2/a1=(-8)/2→a2/a1=-4
a3/a2=32/(-8)→a3/a2=-4
a4/a3=(-128)/32→a4/a3=-4

a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3=r=-4

an=a1*r^(n-1)
an=2*(-4)^(n-1)

The explicit rule for the nth term of the given sequence is an=2*(-4)^(n-1)

Answer:

y = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the Graph is Parallel to y = 3x + 11, we know that the "mx" portion of the equation is 3x since only the "b" would be different.

Then we just substitute in the point and to find b.

4 = 3(1) + b

b = 1

y = 3x + 1 is the answer

$x-the \ number \ of \ chickens \\ y-the \ number \ of \ rabbits \\ \\ \left \{ {{x+y=16}|(-2) \atop {2x+4y=50}} \right. \\ \\ \\ \left \{ {{-2x-2y=-32} \atop {2x+4y=50} \right. \\..................... \\ / \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2y=18 => \boxed{y=\frac{18}{2}=9} \\ \\ x+y=16 \\ \\ x+9=16 \\ \\ x=16-9 \\ \\ \boxed{x=7}$
