Answer: C) 2

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

Work Shown:

Let x be some integer from the set {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}.
The multiplicative inverse of x is a number y such that x*y = 1.

Since we want x and y to be the same, this means y = x

Use substitution to go from 
x*y = 1
to 
x*x = 1
Basically I've replaced y with x

Now solve for x
x*x = 1
x^2 = 1
x = +-sqrt(1)
x = 1 or x = -1

There are 2 values of x where they are their own multiplicative inverse
1*1 = 1
(-1)*(-1) = 1

Represent the geometric series using the explicit formula.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The correct answer is:

b.) f(n) = 3 • (-2)^(n-1)

Further explanation:

Given sequence is:

3, -6, 12, -24, ...

We have to find the common ratio first.

Common ratio is the ratio between two consecutive terms of a geometric sequence.

It is denoted by r.

So,

Here,\\a_1=3\\a_2=-6\\a_3=12\\a_4=-24\\r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{-6}{3}=-2\\\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{12}{-6}=-2

General formula for geometric sequence is:

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\\Here\\a_n\ is\ the\ nth\ term\\a_1\ is\ the\ first\ term\\and\\r\ is\ common\ ratio

Putting the values of a1 and r

a_n=3.(-2)^{n-1}\\f(n)=3.(-2)^{n-1}

Hence,

The correct answer is:

b.) f(n) = 3 • (-2)^(n-1)

Which of the following is a characteristic of hyperbolic geometry?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Hyperbolic geometry is defined as a non-Euclidean geometry.

(invalidating the fifth postulate of Euclid's five fundamental postulates)

Choice B and D can be eliminated because this has nothing to do with perpendicular lines.

Choice C should be eliminated as well since that's exactly the fifth postulate of Euclid's five fundamental postulates

We are left with A by the process of elimination
