Hope this helps and hope you can read it, if not let me know :)
We can write the sequence out more fully, as we can see each time it is divided by 6.
60, 60/6, 60/6^2, 60/6^3, and so on.
Therefore we know the sequence can be written as
You can think of this as a graph, i.e. y=60/6^(x-1)
As a result, as x tends to infinity, y tends to 0 (since it effectively becomes 60/infinity). Therefore the sequence
converges toward zero.
The Discriminant for the equation x2 + 3x - 4 = 0 would be 25.
Answer: B. Graph of 2 lines that intersect at one point. Both lines are solid. One line passes through (-2,2) and (0,3) and is shaded below the line.
y < = 1/2x + 3...(-2,2) y < = 1/2x + 3....(0,3)
2 < = 1/2(-2) + 3 3 < = 1/2(0) + 3
2 < = -1 + 3 3 < = 0 + 3
2 < = 2 (correct) 3 < = 3 (correct)
The other line passes through points (0,1) and (1,-2) and is shaded above the line.
y > = -3x + 1...(0,1) y > = -3x + 1...(1,-2)
1 > = -3(0) + 1 -2 > = -3(1) + 1
1 > = 0 + 1 -2 > = -3 + 1
1 > = 1 (correct) -2 > = -2 (correct)
I can't say for sure this answer is 100% correct because I think more info is needed.
If your teacher is looking for the turning point, then that would be (4,10)
The equation y = a(x-h)^3 + k has a turning point at (h,k). The parent function y = x^3 gets shifted h units to the right (assuming h is positive) and k units up (if k is positive). In this case, (h,k) = (4,10) so we have y = a(x-4)^3 + 10. The original turning point (0,0) has been shifted to the new turning point (4,10) which is 4 units to the right and 10 units up. The value of 'a' does not effect the turning point.
If x was say the time in minutes and y was the temperature, then the turning point of y = -3(x-4)^3 + 10 could mean that at time 4 minutes (x = 4) the substance turns from liquid to solid (y = 10 degrees).
Note: more information is needed about this function be 100% certain about the claim made.
