Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for the explicit formula of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_n=a\cdot(r)^{n-1}

Where a is the initial term, r is the common ratio, and n is the nth term.

Our sequence is: 8, 4, 2, 1...

So, we can see that our initial term or a is 8.

Each subsequent term is half of the previous one. So, our common ratio is 1/2.

Let's substitute 8 for a and 1/2 for r to acquire:

a_n=8\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

So, our answer is C.

And we're done!

Answer:

1.the square pan is larger by 12 inches

40 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in size can be determined by calculating the difference between the perimeter of the square pan and the circumference of a circle

perimeter of a square = 4 x length

14 x 4 = 56 inches

Circumference of a circle = πD = (22/7) x 14 = 44 inches

Difference in size = 56 - 44 = 12 inches

Area of a rectangle = length x width

10 x 4 - 40 cm^2

Consider the function: f(x) = 2x^2 - 1.5x - 5 and its graph.
Dominik [7]

Answer:

f(x) = -4x² + 19x - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 - 1.5x - 5

i) If it is translated 2 units in the positive x direction, therefore we use f(x-2)

y=f(x-2) = 2(x-2)^2 - 1.5(x-2) - 5\\y = 2(x^2-4x+4) - 1.5x+3 - 5\\y=2x^2-8x+8-1.5x+3-5\\y=2x^2-9.5x+6

f(x) = 2x² - 9.5x + 6

If it is then translated 3 units in the positive y, we add 3 to the input function to get:

y=f(x)+3=2x^2-9.5x+6+3\\y = 2x^2-9.5x+9

ii) stretched vertically by a factor of 2, we multiply the function by 2 to get:

y =2( 2x^2-9.5x+9) = 4x^2-19x+18\\y= 4x^2-19x+18

iii) reflected across the x-axis

we multiply the parent function by –1, to get a reflection about the x-axis.

y= -1(4x^2-19x+18)=-4x^2+19x-18\\y=f(x)=-4x^2+19x-18
