Answer:

f(1) = 8

Common ratio: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) means the firs term in a sequence.

In the function f(n), represented by 8, 4, 2, 1, .., the first term is 8.

f(1) = 8

To find the common ratio, divide any term by the term before it.

We can use any two of the given terms in the sequence EXCEPT for 8 because it is the first term and does not have a term before it.

I choose to divide the second term by the first term:

4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

A because inverse is the opposite order so instead of -3/1 or 5/1 it becomes 1/-3 and 1/5

The product of -2 and a number minus 6 is greater than -18

Eduardwww [97]

So product means multiplication so -2*(x-6) > -18 so divide by -2 on both sides to get x-6<9 because when you multiply a negative the sign swaps directions and then add 6 to get x<15

The larger of two numbers is 7 times the smaller number. Three times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number

Juliette [100K]

Let the smaller number be x.

Given, the larger number is 7 times the smaller number.

So, the larger number = 7x.

Given, 3 times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number.

So we can write the equation as,

$3(7x) = 4(x)+7$

$3(7x) = 4x+7$

$21x = 4x+7$

Now we have to move 4x to the left side by subtracting 4x from both sides.

$21x-4x = 4x-4x+7$

$21x-4x = 7$

$17x = 7$

To get x, we will divide both sides by 17. We will get,

$\frac{17x}{17} = \frac{7}{17}$

$x = \frac{7}{17}$

So the smaller number = $\frac{7}{17}$

The larger number = $7(\frac{7}{17} )$ = $\frac{49}{17}$

So we have got the required numbers.

Smaller number = $\frac{7}{17}$ and larger number = $\frac{49}{17}$ .
