Answer:

(0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 8 - 2y

x + 3y = 12

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

x+3y =12

(8-2y) +3y = 12

Combine like terms

8+y = 12

Subtract 8 from each side

8+y-8 = 12-8

y = 4

Now we need to solve for x

x = 8 -2y

= 8-2(4)

= 8-8

(0,4)

Find an explicit rule for the nth term of a geometric sequence where the second and fifth terms are -6 and 162, respectively. Pl

kicyunya [14]

Hello,

$u_{0} =a\\
 u_{1} =a*r\\
 u_{2} =a*r^{2}=-6\\
 u_{3} =a*r^{3}\\
 u_{4} =a*r^{4}\\
 u_{5} =a*r^{5}=162\\
....\\
\boxed{ u_{n} =a*r^{n}} \\

\dfrac{ 162}{-6} = \dfrac{ u_{5} }{ u_{3}} = \dfrac{ a*r^{5}}{ a*r^{2}} =r^3= -27\\
==\ \textgreater \ r=-3\\

 u_{2} =a*r^{2}=-6=a*(-3)^2 \ ==\ \textgreater \ a=-\frac{6}{9} =-\frac{2}{3}\\


\boxed{ u_{n} =-\frac{2}{3}*(-3)^{n}=(-1)^{n+1}*2*3^{n-1}} \\
