A40=a1 +(40-1)r
in this case r is 3 beceause -2+3 will be 1 etc
a40=-2 +39*3
Answer:
The product of (a+b)(a-b) is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Use FOIL to explain how to find the product of (a + b)(a − b)
FOIL is
Multiply First terms : a*a = a^2
Multiply Outside terms : a* -b = -ab
Multiply Inner terms : b * a= ab
Multiply last terms : b * -b = -b^2
now we combine all the terms
combine like terms
The product of (a+b)(a-b) is
Shortcut is we apply an identity
6 1/2 is the number equivalent to 13 over 2 because if we divide the numerator and the denominator then we should get 6 with a remaining 1/2
Answer: 6 1/2
Answer:
Since 3 pounds would get you 5 yogurts multiply that by two and you get 10
The answer is 10 yogurts

Answer:
<em>Option A; the tournament did begin with 128 teams</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that this equation is represented by compound interest, in other words an exponential function, either being exponential growth or exponential decay;
f ( x ) = a + ( b )^x, where a ⇒ start value, b ⇒ constant, x ⇒ ( almost always considered ) time, but in this case rounds
Option A; The equation is given to be t ( x ) = 128 * ( 1/2 )^x. Given by the above, 128 should represent the start value, hinting that the tournament <em>did indeed begin with 128 teams</em>
Option B; As the rounds increase the number of teams approach 128. Now mind you 128 is the start value, not the end value, which would mean that <em>this statement is false</em>
Option C; The tournament began with 1/2 teams. Theoretically that would not be possible, but besides that the tournament began with 128 teams, only differed by 1/2 times as much every round. <em>This statement is thus false</em>
Option D; This situation actually represents exponential decay. If each round the number of teams differed by 1/2 times as much, the number of teams remaining is less than before, and thus this models exponential decay, not growth<em> ( statement is false )</em>
<em>Answer : Option A; the tournament did begin with 128 teams</em>
