What is the solution to the system of equations? 6x – 9y = 16 2x – 3y = 7

The first step for solving this problem is to multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -3.
$\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {-6x + 9y = -21}} \right.$
Add the two equations together.
6x - 9y - 6x + 9y = 16 - 21
Eliminate the opposites.
-9y + 9y = 16 - 21
Remember that the sum of two opposites equals 0,, so the equation becomes the following:
0 = 16 - 21
Calculate the difference on the right side of the equation.
0 = -5
This means that the statement $\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {2x-3y=7}} \right.$ is false for any value of x and y. That means that the answer to your question is (x,y) ∈ ∅,, or no solution.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Find an equation for the nth term of a geometric sequence where the second and fifth terms are -21 and 567, respectively

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

$x_n=7(-3)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write some equations so we can figure out the common ratio and the initial term. The standard explicit formula for a geometric sequence is:

$x_n=ar^{n-1}$

Where xₙ is the nth term, a is the initial value, and r is the common ratio.

We know that the second and fifth terms are -21 and 567, respectively. Thus:

$a_2=-21\\a_5=567$

Substitute them into the equations:

$x_2=ar^{(2)-1}\\-21=ar$

And:

$a^5=ar^{(5)-1}\\567=ar^4$

To find a and r, divide both sides by a in the first equation:

$r=-\frac{21}{a}$

And substitute this into the second equation:

$567=a(\frac{-21}{a} )^4$

Simplify:

$567=a(\frac{(-21)^4}{a^4})$

The as cancel out. (-21)^4 is 194481:

$\frac{567}{1}=\frac{194481}{a^3}$

Cross multiply:

$194481=567a^3\\a^3=194481/567=343$

Take the cube root of both sides:

$a=\sqrt[3]{343} =7$

Therefore, the initial value is 7.

And the common ratio is (going back to the equation previously):

$r=-21/a\\r=-21/(7)\\r=-3$

Thus, the common ratio is -3.

Therefore, the equation is:

$x_n=7(-3)^{n-1}$

Vera uploaded a hilarious video of a squirrel to a funny videos website. It was viewed 320 times on the first day. Each day sinc

Ainat [17]

Answer:

$f(n) =320\times (1.25)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

On first day , the video was viewed = 320 times .

We are given that Each day since then, the number of views was 25% more than the day before. This means the likes are increasing 1.25 per day .

So, this situation forms G.P.

Where common ratio r = 1.25

First term = f(1) = 320

Formula of nth term in G.P. = $f(n) =f(1)\times r^{n-1}$

So, nth term of the given situation :

$f(n) =320\times (1.25)^{n-1}$

Where f(n) denotes the number of views on nth day .

So, the number of views Vera's video got on the nth day = $320\times (1.25)^{n-1}$
