The complete question is
<span>-2 2/3, -5 1/3, -10 2/3, -21 1/3, -42 2/3, ... Which formula can be used to describe the sequence?

a. f(x + 1) = –2f(x)
b. f(x + 1) = f(x)
c. f(x + 1) = -f(x)
d. f(x + 1) = 2f(x)

case a) </span>f(x + 1) = –2f(x)
for f(x)=-2 2/3
f(x+1)=-2*[-2 2/3]=5 1/3
5 1/3 is not -5 1/3
therefore
this is not the formula

case b) f(x + 1) = f(x)
for f(x)=-2 2/3
f(x+1)=-2 2/3
-2 2/3 is not -5 1/3
therefore
this is not the formula

case c) f(x + 1) = -f(x)
for f(x)=-2 2/3
f(x+1)=2 2/3
2 2/3 is not -5 1/3
therefore
this is not the formula

case d) f(x + 1) =2f(x)
for f(x)=-2 2/3
f(x+1)=2*[-2 2/3]=-5 1/3

for f(x)=-5 1/3
f(x+1)=2*[-5 1/3]=-10 2/3

for f(x)=-10 2/3
f(x+1)=2*[-10 2/3]=-21 1/3

for f(x)=-21 1/3
f(x+1)=2*[-21 1/3]=-42 2/3

therefore 
the answer is the option
d. f(x + 1) = 2f(x)

Answer:

f(x + 1) = 2f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the complete question is shown. Taking as x the first point, f(x)=-2 2/3, for the next point, x+1, f(x+1) = -5 1/3 = 2*(-2 2/3)  = 2f(x); taking as x the second point, f(x)=-5 1/3, for the next point, x+1, f(x+1) = -10 2/3 = 2*(-5 1/3)  = 2f(x); and so on.

Answer:

1. use the formula

(n-2)180

(20 - 2)180\\18 * 180 = 3240

2. use the formula

360/n\\360/12\\n = 30

3. There is only one at 360 degrees

4. there are 6 rotational symmetries and the number of reflectional symmetries would be 6 as you can see:

William invested $800 in an account that paid 5% simple interest per year.
Blababa [14]
A) Interest = principal * rate * time

I = (800)(0.05)(3) = $120

b) $800 + $120 = $920 after the three years. $920 * (1 - 0.02) = $901.60.

HELP FAST! Will give Brainiest i mainly need help on part C.
olchik [2.2K]
Part A: First, list multiples for each number. The multiples of 5 are: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, etc. The multiples of 12 are: 12, 24, 36,48, 60, etc. The least common multiple is the first common multiple between the two, in this case being 60. The LCM of 5 and 12 is 60. 

Part B: SImilar to above, list all factors for each number. 72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72. 81: 1, 3, 9, 27, and 81. The greatest common factor is the highest common number, 9 in this case. The GCF of 72 and 81 is 9.

Part C: To rewrite, we need to take out the 9 by dividing. 72/9 is 8. 81/9 is 9. Therefore, we would get 9(8+9), to equal 153. Your answer here is 9( 8 + 9 ).  Hope this helped!
