Answer:
Put the equation in standard form by bringing the 4x + 1 to the left side.
7x2 - 4x - 1 = 0
We use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. The discriminant is the expression underneath the radical in the quadratic formula: b2 - 4ac.
b2 - 4ac In this case, a = 7, b = -4, and c = -1
(-4)2 - 4(7)(-1)
16 + 28 = 44
Now here are the rules for determining the nature of the roots:
(1) If the discriminant = 0, then there is one real root (this omits the ± from the quadratic formula, leaving only one possible solution)
(2) If the discriminant > 0, then there are two real roots (this keeps the ±, giving you two solutions)
(3) If the discriminant < 0, then there are two imaginary roots (this means there is a negative under the radical, making the solutions imaginary)
44 > 0, so there are two real roots
Regarding your (1/10 divided by 2/5): I'm going to regard this as
(1/10) divided by (2/5).
First, write
1
---
10
Invert the fraction 2/5 and then multiply 1/10 by 5/2:
1(5)
-------- = 1/4, after reducing 5/10.
10(2)
Thus, <span>−34+(1/10÷2/5) yields -34 + 1/4, or -33 3/4.</span>

Answer:
an = 2·2^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are simple tests to determine whether a sequence is arithmetic or geometric. The test for an arithmetic sequence is to check to see if the differences between terms are the same. Here the differences are 2, 4, 8, so are not the same.
The test for a geometric sequence is to check to see if the ratios of terms are the same. Here, the ratios are ...
4/2 = 2
8/4 = 2
16/8 = 2
These ratios are all the same (they are "common"), so the sequence is geometric.
The general term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...
an = a1·r^(n-1)
Filling in the values for this sequence, we find the general term to be ...
an = 2·2^(n-1)
