5. the numbers are being multiplied by 4 each time, so the geometric sequence would be
an= 1/2(4) ^(n-1)
6. the numbers are being multiplied by 1/4 each time, so the geometric sequence would be
an= 32(1/4)^(n-1)
an in the formula is what ever term in the sequence.
32 or 1/2 is the a which is the first term in the sequence.
4 or 1/4 is the r in the sequence because it is the common ratio so what the equation was multiplied by to get the next term.
(n-1) is because when you are using this equation to solve for whatever term (an) you must subtract the first number in the sequence to get an accurate number
an you can input whatever number when trying to solve.
Answer:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply both sides of the equation by 2
multiply the number
reduce the number
Yes, if you just distribute 2(x-6). Then you would have 2x-12 = -35 then add 12 to the -35 and your answer would be 2x = -23 and leads to them being equivalent.
<span>y=x+16
y=-x+4
All you have to do is substitute.
Put the second equation into the first equation.
-x + 4 = x + 16
4 = 2x + 16
-12 = 2x
-6 = x
Now substitute the x into one of the equations to get y.
y = (-6) + 16
y = 10
The solution to these equations is (-6, 10).</span>
