Answer:
The two numbers following 1,-2,3,-4,5... are -6 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
index: 1 2 3 4 5 ....
value: 1 -2 3 -4 5
Let the index be n. Then the first term is a(1), the secon is a(2), and so on.
a(2) = 2*(-1)^(2-1) = 2*(-1) = -2 (correct)
a(3) = 3*(-1)^(3-1) = 3*(-1)^2 = 3 (correct)
a(4) = 4*(-1)^(4-1) = 4*(-1)^3 = -4 (correct)
So the general formula for a(n) is: a(n)=n(-1)^(n-1)
Thus,
a(5) = 5(-1)^4 = 5
a(6) = 6(-1)^5 = -6
a(7) = 7(-1)^6 = 7
The "next two numbers in the pattern" are -6 and 7. The first 7 numbers are
1,-2,3,-4,5, -6, 7
Answer:
x ≥ 9.2
Step-by-step explanation:
If in a gymnastics competition an athletes final score is calculated by taking 75% of the average technical score and adding 25% of the artistic score all scores are out of 10 and one gymnast has a 7.6 average technical score, the gymnast needs x ≥ 9.2 to have a final score of at least 8.0.
7.6 x 75 / 100 = 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a = 6 and b = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up equations:
b = 30 + a
b = 6a
Subtract the two equations:
b = 6a
- (b = 30 + a)
5a - 30 = 0
5a = 30
divide both sides by 5
a = 6
Plug a = 6 into the original equation:
b = 30 + 6
b = 36
you could also do:
b = 6 * 6
b = 36
Answer:
<u>It</u><u> </u><u>has</u><u> </u><u>two</u><u> </u><u>roots</u>
that is †2.4i and -2.4i
Step-by-step explanation:
for a root, f(x) is zero
subtract 6 from both sides:
remember: from complex numbers, i² is -1
take square root on both sides:
