Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
if a=-2 and b=-5
(18-(-2×-5))+4(-5)
(18-(10))-20
8-20
-12
just gotta plug in the given into the equation
The question as presented is incomplete, here is the complete question with the multiple choice:
The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an − 1 can also be
written as:
1) an = 6 ⋅ 3^n
2) an = 6 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
3) an = 2 ⋅ 3^n
4) an = 2 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
The correct choice is option 3) an = 2⋅3^n.
If we look at the initial sequence an = 3⋅an-1, and
a1 = 3⋅a0 = 6
a0 = 6/3
a0 = 2
We can now look at the sequence.
a0 = 2
a1 = 6
a2 = 18
a3 = 54
etc...
A common factor in each of those numbers is 2, so we can rewrite the sequence by factoring out 2.
a0 = 2⋅1
a1 = 2⋅3
a2 = 2⋅9
a3 = 2⋅27
The numbers being multiplied by 2 are all factors of 3. So we can rewrite the sequence again as:
a0 = 2⋅3^0
a1 = 2⋅3^1
a2 = 2⋅3^2
a3 = 2⋅3^3
This sequence can now be rewritten as an = 2⋅3^n.
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
For a weight of 1 lb, the price is $2.50, so the price in dollars is related to the weight in pounds by the constant 2.50.
The constant of proportionality is 2.50 (dollars per pound).
Use a proportion.
121/16.5 = 22/m
121m = 16.5 * 22
11m = 16.5 * 2
11m = 33
m = 3
