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⁾

v={x,y,z} such that the points satisfies x-2y+3z=0. is v vector space? if not,find all for which v is not a victor space

atroni [7]

Yes, the set of vectors

V = {(x, y, z) : x - 2y + 3z = 0}

is indeed a vector space.

Let u = (x, y, z) and v = (r, s, t) be any two vectors in V. Then

x - 2y + 3z = 0

and

r - 2s + 3t = 0

Their vector sum is

u + v = (x + r, y + s, z + t)

We need to show that u + v also belongs to V - in other words, V is closed under summation. This is a matter of showing that the coordinates of u + v satisfy the condition on all vectors of V:

(x + r) - 2 (y + s) + 3 (s + t) = (x - 2y + 3z) + (r - 2s + 3t) = 0 + 0 = 0

Then V is indeed closed under summation.

Scaling any vector v by a constant c gives

cv = (cx, cy, cz)

We also need to show that cv belongs to V - that V is closed under scalar multiplication. We have

cx - 2cy + 3cz = c (x - 2y + 3z) = 0c = 0

so V is need closed under scalar multiplication.

At a real estate agency, an agent sold a house for $327,000. The commission rate is 5.5% for the real estate agency and the c

sergeinik [125]

Agency will get $8589.50 and the agent will earn $5395.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of house = $327000

Commission rate for agency = 5.5% = $\frac{5.5}{100} = 0.055$

Commission amount = 0.055*327000 = $17985

Commission rate for agent = 30% of Agency commission

Commission amount for agent = $\frac{30}{100}*17985=\frac{539550}{100}\\$

Commission amount for agent = $5395.50

Agency's commission = Agency's commission amount - agent's commission

Agency's commission = 17985 - 5395.50 = $8589.50

Agency will get $8589.50 and the agent will earn $5395.50

Rewrite the expression with a rational exponent as a radical expression.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. $\sqrt[9]{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The root of a number can be expressed as the number raised to the power whose exponent is a fractional number. The exponent number will be the inverse of the root index.

In this case, three to the two thirds power all raised to the one sixth power is expressed as:

$(3^{\frac{2}{3} }) ^{\frac{1}{6}}$
