70=3/5
times 5/3
350/3
this is 7/8
350/3=7/8
times 8/7 both sides
400/3

that is 5/6
400/3=5/6 of total
times 6/5 both sides
800/5=160

kate had 160 originally

If f(x) = 3x2, what is the x-coordinate of the point of intersection of the graphs of y = f(x) and y = f(x − 4)?
Minchanka [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

When f(x) = f(x - 4), 3x² = 3(x - 4)².

=> x² = (x - 4)², x = -(x - 4), 2x = 4, x = 2.

The x-value is 2.

Find an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence 12, 5, -2, -9,...
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

an = 12 -7(n-1)

an = 19-7n

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1 +d(n-1) where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference

a1 =12

We find d by taking the second term and subtracting the first term

d = 5-12

d = -7

an = 12 -7(n-1)

We can simplify this

an = 12 -7n+7

an = 19-7n
