Enter the explicit rule for the sequence

Mathematics
1 answer:
Softa [21]3 years ago
8 0
Let's take a look at the first few numbers in the sequence based on the given rule:

a_{1}=6\\ a_{2}= \frac{1}{4}(6)\\ a_3= \frac{1}{4}\big( \frac{1}{4}\big)6= \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^2(6)\\ a_{4}= \frac{1}{4} \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^26= \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^3(6)

Inspecting this pattern it seems like the power \frac{1}{4} is being raised to is always one less than the number of the sequence, so if we were on the nth number in the sequence, that part of the expression would be \big(\frac{1}{4} \big)^{n-1}. We also know that we'll be multiplying whatever we get from that by 6, so we can write the full explicit rule for our sequence as

a_n=6\big( \frac{1}{4} \big)^{n-1}

Where a_n is the nth number in our sequence.

What are the exact solutions of x2 = 5x + 2? (1 point)
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

A. x equals 5 plus or minus the square root of thirty-three all over 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's move all the terms to one side:

x^2=5x+2

x^2-5x-2=0

Now, we want to use the quadratic formula, which states that for a quadratic equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0, the roots can be found with the equation: x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} or x=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}.

Here, a = 1, b = -5, and c = -2, so plug these in:

x=\frac{-(-5)+\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(1)(-2)} }{2(1)}=x=\frac{5+\sqrt{25+8} }{2}=\frac{5+\sqrt{33} }{2}

OR

x=\frac{-(-5)-\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(1)(-2)} }{2(1)}=x=\frac{5-\sqrt{25+8} }{2}=\frac{5-\sqrt{33} }{2}

Thus, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!

Use the information given to answer the question.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Area is (x² - 9) units squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

• from difference of squares quadratic property:

{ \boxed{ \rm{(a - b)(a + b) = ( {a}^{2} -  {b}^{2})  }}}

→ a is x

→ b is 3

• Therefore:

{ \tt{area =  {x}^{2} -  {3}^{2}  }} \\  \\ { \tt{area =  {x}^{2} - 9 }}

How does the value of the digit 2 in 2000 compare with the value of the digit 2 in 200
iragen [17]

Answer:

The value of 2 in 2000 is 10 times greater than the value of 2 in 200

Step-by-step explanation:

from the value of 2 in 200 to reach 2000, it takes 10 times as much because we're moving only one place (which is the thousand's digit).
