a.
In order to find the common ratio, we just need to divide a term by the term that comes before it.
So using the terms 20 and -5, we have:
b.
The recursive rule can be found with the formula:
Where an is the nth term and q is the ratio. So we have:
c.
The explicit rule can be written as:
Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term and q is the ratio. So:
Answer: It is possible to draw different lines to approximate the same data. The line of best fit is only an estimate.
For this fraction, we have (3x+2) in both the numerator and the denominator. So, they will be cancelled together.
Then we can notice that we can divide the coefficients in the numerator and the denominator by 9 as 36/9 = 4 and 9/9 = 1
So, the expression now becomes:
(x+7) / 4(x-5) which is the simplest form.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of a non-negative number is the same number.
Example: The absolute value of 4 is 4.
If a number is negative, its absolute value is the same number, without the negative sign.
Example: The absolute value of -3 is 3.
= 12*5 + 12*3i - 5*2i - 6i^2 (remember that i^2 = -1) so:-
= 60 +26i - 6*(-1)
= 60 + 26i + 6
= 66 + 26i
