Answer:

The common ratio is 5 and the 5th term is 1250

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is given by

r=U(2)/U (1)

=10/2

=5

The fifth term

U (n)=ar^n-1

U(5)=2(5)^5-1

=2×5^4

=2×625

=1250

Which of the following pairs represent a function ​
denis23 [38]

Option D: \{(-9,8),(-5,-8),(-7,8),(-6,-8)\} are the ordered pairs represents a function.

Explanation:

Given that the options of the set of ordered pairs.

We need to determine the ordered pairs that represents a function.

Option A: \{(-12,8),(-15,8),(-5,-8),(-12,-8)\}

A relation is said to be a function if each element of x is related to exactly one element in y.

From this set of ordered pairs, it is obvious that the element -12 of x is related to two different element in y.

Thus, the ordered pairs \{(-12,8),(-15,8),(-5,-8),(-12,-8)\} is not a function.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: \{(8,-9),(-8,-5),(8,-7),(-8,-6)\}

From this set of ordered pairs, it is obvious that the elements -8 and 8 of x are related to two different element in y.

Thus, the ordered pairs \{(8,-9),(-8,-5),(8,-7),(-8,-6)\} is not a function.

Hence, Option B is not the correct answer.

Option C: \{(13,-3),(13,0),(13,-1),(13,-1)\}

From this set of ordered pairs, it is obvious that the element 13 of x is related to three different element in y.

Thus, the ordered pairs \{(13,-3),(13,0),(13,-1),(13,-1)\} is not a function.

Hence, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: \{(-9,8),(-5,-8),(-7,8),(-6,-8)\}

A relation is said to be a function if each element of x is related to exactly one element in y.

From this set of ordered pairs, it is obvious that the each element of x is related exactly one element in y.

Thus, the ordered pairs \{(-9,8),(-5,-8),(-7,8),(-6,-8)\} is a function.

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

Solve the following equation for x<br><br> 10=2-4(ax-3)
likoan [24]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{a}}

Step-by-step explanation:

2-4(ax-3)=10\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\-4(ax-3)=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4(ax-3)}{-4}=\dfrac{8}{-4}\\\\ax-3=-2\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\ax-3+3=-2+3\\\\ax=1\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ a\neq0\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{a}
