Answer:

Correct answer:  Third answer  aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-5, -10, -20, -40,.....

First term       a₁ = -5

Second term a₂ = -10

Third term     a₃ = -20

Common ratio or quotient

q = a₂ / a₁ = a₃ / a₂ = -10 / -5 = -20 / -10 = 2

q = 2

First term  a₁

Second term a₂ = a₁ · q = a₂ · q²

Third term     a₃ = a₂ · q = a₁ · q³

.....................................................

n-th term aₙ = a₁ · q⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

What is the Greatest Common Factor of the two monomials?<br> 15a²b, 35ab2
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

5ab

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), you will need to find the largest value that both of these monomials can be divided by. There are three different parts to these monomials: the number value, variable a, and variable b.

Find the largest number of each element that can be divided by both.

Numbers: the GCF of 15 and 35 is 5 (15/5 = 3, 35/5 = 7, 3 and 7 are prime numbers and therefore, cannot be divided further)

Variable a: the GCF of a² and a is a

Variable b: the GCF of b and b² is b

Therefore, the GCF is 5ab.

A fence must be built to enclose a rectangular area of 45 comma 000 ftsquared. Fencing material costs $ 3 per foot for the two s
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

150 feet by 300 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fence is to enclose a rectangular area of 45,000 ft squared.

If the dimensions of the rectangle are x and y

Area of a rectangle = xy

  • xy=45000
  • x=\frac{45000}{y}

Perimeter of the Rectangle =2x+2y

Fencing material costs $ 3 per foot for the two sides facing north and south and ​$6 per foot for the other two sides.

  • Cost of Fencing, C=$(6*2x+3*2y)=$(12x+6y)

Substitute x=\frac{45000}{y} into the Cost to get C(y)

C=12x+6y

C(y)=12(\frac{45000}{y})+6y\\C(y)=\frac{540000+6y^2}{y}

The value at which the cost is least expensive is at the minimum point of C(y), when the derivative is zero.

C^{'}(y)=\dfrac{6y^2-540000}{y^2}

\dfrac{6y^2-540000}{y^2}=0\\6y^2-540000=0\\6y^2=540000\\y^2=\frac{540000}{6} =90000\\y=\sqrt{90000}=300

Recall,

x=\frac{45000}{y}=\frac{45000}{300}=150

Since x=150, y=300

The dimensions that will be least expensive to build is 150 feet by 300 feet.

How would you describe the relationship between the real zeros and x-intercepts of the function y = log (x-2)?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

When you set the function equal to zero, the solution is x = 3; therefore, the graph has an x-intercept at x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is y=\log (x - 2).

So, for real zeros and x-intercept, the y-coordinate must be equal to zero.

Then it becomes 0 = \log (x-2)

⇒ x - 2 = 1 {Since log 1 = 0}

⇒ x = 3

Therefore, when you set the function equal to zero, the solution is x = 3; therefore, the graph has an x-intercept at x = 3. (Answer)
