Lunna [17]3 years ago

This is a geometric sequence with n th term formula

a_{n} = a_{1}(r)^{n-1}

where r is the common ratio and a_{1} the first term

here a_{1} = - \frac{2}{3} and

r = \frac{-144}{-24} = \frac{-24}{-4} = 6

a_{n} = - \frac{2}{3}(6)^{n-1}

or in terms of x

f(x) = - \frac{2}{3}(6)^{x-1}

What is equivalent to 5 to the 2nd power times 5 to the 2nd power
adelina 88 [10]

<em>5 to the 2nd power times 5 to the 2nd power is equivalent to 625</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this case, we have the following statement:

<em>5 to the 2nd power times 5 to the 2nd power. </em>In a mathematical language:

5^2\times 5^2

From product rules, we know that:

a^n \cdot a^m=a^{n+m}

Applying this rule to our problem:

5^2\times 5^2=5^{2+2}=5^4=625

<em>5 to the 2nd power times 5 to the 2nd power is equivalent to 625</em>

Select True or False for each statement.
mote1985 [20]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

For a real number a, a + 0 = a.  TRUE

For a real number a, a + (-a) = 1.  FALSE

For a real numbers a and b, | a - b | = | b - a |.  TRUE

For real numbers a, b, and c, a + (b ∙ c) = (a + b)(a + c).  FALSE

For rational numbers a and b when b ≠ 0, is always a rational number. TRUE

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

  • <u>For a real number a, a + 0 = a.  </u><u>TRUE</u>

This comes from the identity property for addition that tells us that<em> zero added to any number is the number itself. </em>So the number in this case is a, so it is true that:

a+0=a

  • For a real number a, a + (-a) = 1.  FALSE

This is false, because:

a+(-a)=a-a=0

For any number a there exists a number -a such that a+(-a)=0

  • For a real numbers a and b, | a - b | = | b - a |.  TRUE

This is a property of absolute value. The absolute value means remove the negative for the number, so it is true that:

\mid a-b \mid= \mid b-a \mid

  • For real numbers a, b, and c, a + (b ∙ c) = (a + b)(a + c).  FALSE

This is false. By using distributive property we get that:

(a + b)(a + c)=a^2+ac+ab+bc \\ \\ a^2+ab+ac+bc \neq a+(b.c)

  • For rational numbers a and b when b ≠ 0, is always a rational number. TRUE

A rational number is a number made by two integers and written in the form:

\frac{u}{v} \\ \\ v \neq 0

Given that a \ and \ b are rational, then the result of dividing them is also a rational number.
