Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Sum = -119,962                    ( I hope!)

Discussion:

Let's determine the pattern.

first term:  -3

2nd term:  (-3) * (-6) = 18                     (multiply first term by -6)

3rd  term:  (18) * (-6) = -108                 (multiply 2nd term by -6)

4th term :  (-108)*(-6) = 648                ( etc)

5th term :  (648)*(-6) =  -3888            (etc)

6th term :  (-3888)*(-6) = 23328         (etc)

7th term:   (23328)*(-6) =  -139967     (etc)


Sum = -119,962


A simpler way to do this is to use the formula for the sum of a geometric series to n terms. The series is

-3  Sum ( -6)^n                n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6


Regards,  

MrB

P.S.  I'll be on vacation from Friday, Dec 22 to Jan 2, 2019. Have a Great New Year!

Does this graph represent a function? What is the domain and range of the graph
Daniel [21]
Yes it is a function. It passes the vertical line test. In other words, it is impossible to draw a single vertical line through more than one point on the V shaped graph. Any input leads to exactly one output.

The domain is the set of all real numbers. This is because we can plug in any x value leading to some specific y value. There are no holes or gaps or jumps to indicate we must restrict any given x value. The domain would not be the set of whole numbers only because values between the whole numbers (eg: decimal values like x = 2.75) work just fine. 

The range is the set of y values such that y is either 0 or larger than 0. In short, the range is y \ge 0. Notice how any point on the V shaped graph has a y coordinate that is either 0 or larger than 0. It is impossible to get a y value that is negative.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In summary,
Yes it is a function
Domain: all real numbers
Range: y \ge 0

Pat shows that 16 1/2= the square root of 16. What is one possible way pat could have shown this correctly?
kifflom [539]
<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

The base 16 is the same as 4*4.

From there, the rule (a*b)^c = a^c*b^c is used to get (4*4)^{1/2} = 4^{1/2}*4^{1/2}

Afterward, the exponents are added getting 1/2+1/2 = 2/2 = 1. The rule is a^b*a^c = a^{b+c} which only works if the bases are both the same.
