For this, let's have:
n represent each number, the number after it is its place in sequence
/ means divide
n1 /2 = n2, etc.
The answer: median
Ok so good luck it’s right
There are 640 kilocalories in the 2 cups of dog food. :)
Take the natural log of both sides
ln(2^x)=ln(.125)
Xln(2)=ln(.125)
X=ln(.125)/ln(2)
X=-3
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE:
You know that 0.125 is equal to 1/8
And 1/2^3 is also equal to 1/8
So since you need the reciprocal to match it the exponent is a negative
Example:
The sum of two consecutive integers is -15. What is the product of the two integers?
x = 1st consecutive integer
x + 1 = 2nd consecutive integer {consecutive integers increase by 1}
x + x + 1 = -15 {the sum of two consecutive integers is -15}
2x + 1 = -15 {combined like terms}
2x = -16 {subtracted 1 from each side}
x = -8 {divided each side by 2}
x + 1 = -7 {substituted -8, in for x, into x + 1}
-8 and -7 are the two consecutive integers
Their product is 56.
