Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

|-2x-10| + 4 = 2

Subtract 4 from each side

|-2x-10| + 4-4 = 2-4

|-2x-10| = -2

The absolute value is negative so there are no solutions.

Absolute values are always positive, so they cannot be negative.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Fraction he has review = 17/36

Fraction he have to study = 19/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Monday studied = 2/9

Tuesday = 1/4

Fraction he has review = ?

Fraction he has left = ?

Process

As the denominator is 9, consider the whole is 9.

Then: Fraction left on Monday = 9/9 - 2/9

= 7 / 9

Fraction left on Tuesday = 7/9 - 1/4

= (28 - 9) / 36

= 19 / 36

Fraction he has review = 17/36

Fraction he have to study = 19/36

Write an explicit rule in function form for the sequence represented by the given terms.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The general relation about a geoemtric sequence is

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

For the first sequence, we have

$3=a_{1}r^{5-1}$

$147=a_{1}r^{7-1}$

Which is a system of equations. We can isolate a variable in the first equation to replace that expression into the second equation.

$a_{1}=\frac{3}{r^{4} }$

$147=\frac{3}{r^{4} }r^{6}$

$r^{2}=\frac{147}{3}\\ r=\sqrt[2]{49}\\r=7$

Now, we replace this value to find the other one

$3=a_{1}(7)^{4}\\ a_{1}=\frac{3}{2401}$

Therefore, the explicit rule function is

$a_{n}=\frac{3}{2401} \times (7)^{n-1}$

Now, we use the same process for the second sequence.

$10=a_{1}r^{3-1} \\a_{1}=\frac{10}{r^{2} }$

The second equation is

$1440=a_{1}r^{5-1}\\a_{1}=\frac{1440}{r^{4} }$

Now, we solve the following expression

$\frac{10}{r^{2} }=\frac{1440}{r^{4} }$

We solve for $r$

$\frac{r^{4} }{r^{2} }=\frac{1440}{10}\\r^{2}=144\\ r=\sqrt{144} \\r=12$

Then

$a_{1}=\frac{10}{(12)^{2} } =\frac{10}{144}=\frac{5}{72}$

Therefore, the function that models the second sequence is

$a_{n}=\frac{5}{72} \times (12)^{n-1}$

Notice that $a_{n}$ is the dependent variable and $n$ is the independent variable.
