It is a good idea to check to see if your answer is reasonable because a. if your answer is reasonable, you have probably done the problem correctly.
Answer: only (x-y=4) and (x+y=4).
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice target point has y=0, so all terms with y are zero. Then all 6 equations reduce to m x = k, for various m and k. So calculate 4×m and compare to k six times.
x - y = 4 4=4 yes
-x - y = 4 -4=4 no
2x - y = 7 8=7 no
x + y = 4 4=4 yes
2x + y = 7 8=7 no
2x + y = -7 8=-7 no.
So basically an arithmetic sequence has a common difference, a number which is either added or subtracted at a constant rate (only that number). A geometric sequence is the ratio between two numbers, meaning they are either multiplied or divided by the same number. The sequence would be neither if it follows none of these patterns. So by this logic:
14. Arithmetic, 15. Geometric, 16. Neither, 17. Geometric
Answer:
(18, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
(18, ∞) is the only option that works. if we ignore the "greater than" sign, and just set the function equal to -12, we see that x-10=-12 would give us x=-2. If we plug in -3 for x, we get -13, which is less than -12. if we plug in -1 for x, we get -11, which is greater than -12. Therefore, with the function only having one critical point (zero), we know that every value greater than -2 is a solution. Technically, the full solution would be (-2, ∞). however, the only answer available meeting the criteria would be (18, ∞).
