Steps to solve:

-10.9p + 3.9 = -9.18

~Subtract 3.9 to both sides

-10.9p = -13.08

~Divide -10/9 to both sides

p = 13.08/10.9

p = 1 1/5

Best of Luck!

Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence. 10, −80, 640, −5120, ... a(1)= a(n)=

Liula [17]

The recursive formula would be:
$a_1=10
\\a_{n}=a_{n-1} \times (-8)$

This is because the first term, a₁, is 10. A recursive rule is dependent upon the term before it (a(n-1)) and the common ratio. The common ratio, or the number that each term is multiplied by, is -8.

1. Do you the following side lengths form a right triangle?2. Which measurement is closest to the value of X in centimeters?

koban [17]

Answer:

Part 1:

Yes, the side lengths form a right triangle.

Part 2:

Option d 37.1 cm

Explanation:

We need to use the pythagorean theorem.

In part 1, if the 3 side lengths are a right triangle, then, they must verify:

$7.5^2=4.5^2+6^2$

By the theorem. Then:

$\begin{gathered} 7.5^2=56.25 \\ 4.5^2+6^2=20.25+36=56.25 \end{gathered}$

They're equal, then the lengths correspond to a right triangle.

For part 2, we need to use again the theorem. In this case:

$\begin{gathered} 12^2+x^2=39^2 \\ x=\sqrt{1521-144} \\ x=\sqrt{1377} \\ x\approx37.1cm \end{gathered}$

You are given a line that has a slope of 4 and passed through the point (3/8, 1/2). Which statements about the question of the l

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Statement 1, 2 and 4 are true where as statement 3 is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1: The y-intercept is -1

Point (3/8, 1/2)

Slope = m = 4

y = mx + c

1/2 = 4(3/8) + c

1/2 = 3/2 + c

1/2 = 3/2 + 2c/2

-2 = 2c

c = -1

This statement is true as the y-intercept is -1.

Statement 2: The slope intercept equation is y= 4x - 1

slope = m = 4

y-intercept = c = -1

y = mx + c

y = 4x - 1

This statement is true as the slope intercept equation is y= 4x -1

Statement 3: The point slope equation is y - 3/8 = 4 (x - 1/2)

Point slope equation: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Points: (x, y) (3/8, 1/2)

y1 = 1/2

x1 = 3/8

Slope = m = 4

y - 1/2 = 4 (x - 3/8)

This statement is not true as the slope intercept equation is y - 1/2 = 4 (x - 3/8) instead of y - 3/8 = 4 (x - 1/2).

Statement 4: The point (3/8, 1/2) corresponds to (x1, y1) in the point slope form of the equation

This statement is true as shown in statement 3's explanation where x1 = 3/8 and y1 = 1/2

Solve x2 + 14x + 17 = –96 for x

jarptica [38.1K]

For this case we have to:

Given the quadratic equation of the form:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0$

The roots are given by:

$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}$

If we have: $x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 = -96$

We can rewrite it in the following way:

$x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 + 96 = 0\\x ^ 2 + 14x + 113 = 0$

Where:

$a = 1\\b = 14\\c = 113$

Where we have:

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(14) ^ 2-4 (1) (113)}} {2 (1)}$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(196-452)}} {2}$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {-256}} {2}$

By definition: $\sqrt {-1} = i$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {256} i} {2}$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm16i} {2}$

$x = \frac {-14} {2} \pm \frac {16i} {2}$

$x = -7 \pm8i$

Thus, the roots are given by imaginary numbers:

$x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i$

Answer:

$x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i$
