Answer:

Li Jing

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence:

-5,-25,-125,-625,...

Mohamed's Formula is given as: g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n}}

Using Mohamed's formula:

When\: n=1,g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n}}=-5\cdot5^{1}=-25\\When\: n=2,g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n}}=-5\cdot5^{2}=-125\\

Li Jing's Formula is given as: g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n-1}}

Using Mohamed's formula:

When\: n=1,g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n-1}}=-5\cdot5^{1-1}=-5\\When\: n=2,g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n-1}}=-5\cdot5^{\large{2-1}}=-25\\

We can see that Li Jing's Formula produces the gien sequence.

Li Jing is Right.

Twelve less than 5 times a number is greater than or equal to 6 more than twice the number. Each inequality and number line repr
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:  x ≥ 6

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

12 less <u>than</u> 5 times a number ≥ 6 more <u>than</u> twice the number

                    5x - 12                    ≥                        2x + 6

Note: the word "than" switches the order of the terms.

5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6

<u>-2x  +12</u>  <u>-2x +12 </u>

3x         ≥       18

<u>÷3         </u>     <u>    ÷3 </u>

   x         ≥       6

Graph: 6 -----------→   the dot is closed (filled in) since it is "equal to"

Which of the following represents the zeros of f(x) = x3 − 11x2 + 38x − 40?
Delvig [45]
The answer is <span>5, 4, 2
</span>
Among all choices we have 5, so
x = 5
x - 5 = 0
Let's divide the expression by (x - 5) using the long division:
                          x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5)  * x² =      x³ - 5x²                   Subtract
____________________________
                              -6x² + 38x - 40
   (x - 5) * (-6x) =    -6x² + 30x          Subtract
____________________________
                                           8x - 40
                    (x - 5) * 8 =     8x - 40   Sutract
____________________________
                                              0

Thus: x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x² - 6x + 8)

Now, let's simplify x² - 6x + 8.

x² - 6x + 8 = x² - 2x - 4x + 8 =
                  = x² - 2*x - (4*x - 4*2) = 
                  = x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) =
                  = (x - 4)(x - 2)

Hence:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2)
To calculate zero:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x - 5 = 0            or             x - 4 = 0              or      x - 2 = 0
x = 5                 or              x = 4                   or      x = 2
