Answer:

$\large\boxed{f(4)=-1292}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(n)=-5f(n-1)-2\\\\f(1)=10\\\\f(2)=-5f(2-1)-2=-5f(1)-2\\\text{put}\ f(1)=10:\\f(2)=-5(10)-2=-50-2=-52\\\\f(3)=-5f(3-1)-2=-5f(2)-2\\\text{put}\ f(2)=-52\\f(3)=-5(-52)-2=260-2=258\\\\f(4)=-5f(4-1)-2=-5f(3)-2\\\text{put}\ f(3)=258\\f(4)=-5(258)-2=-1290-2=-1292$

Which sequence of transformations would result in a figure that is similar, but not congruent, to the original figure?

Mashcka [7]

If the transformation will result to an after-image that not is congruent to the original figure, then the transformation is most probably a dilation. Amon the choices, the answer must be
a reflection across the y-axis followed by a dilation with a scale factor of 0.5

Solve for q. √3q + 2 = √5

34kurt

Answer:

$q = 0.0186$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for q, we initially place everything with the term q to one side of the equality, and everything without the term q to the other side of the equality.

$\sqrt{3q} + 2 = \sqrt{5}$

$\sqrt{3q} = \sqrt{5} - 2$

We find the square of both sides of the equation. So

$(\sqrt{3q})^{2} = (\sqrt{5} - 2)^{2}$

$3q = 0.0557$

$q = \frac{0.0557}{3}$

$q = 0.0186$

Answer: y = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in Slope-Intercept format: y = mx + b where

m is the slope (difference in y's over difference in x's)
b is the y-intercept (value of y when x = 0)

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\\\text{Let }(x_1,y_1)=(0,1)\quad \text{and}\quad \text{let }(x_2, y_2)=(1,4)\quad then\\\\m=\dfrac{4-1}{1-0}=\dfrac{3}{1}=3$
