An = 5(-4)^(n - 1)
an + 1 = 5(-4)^(n + 1 - 1) = 5(-4)^n
an = 5(-4)^(n - 1) = 5(-4)^n/(-4) = an + 1/(-4)
an + 1 = -4an
an + 1 - 1 = -4 an - 1
an = -4an - 1

HELP ASAP WILL MARK BRAINIEST IF YOU ARE RIGHT !Which of the following represents a function?
gregori [183]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a function because all of the numbers have a partner, and none of them have more than one.

                                    Example of Not a Function

Function                                Not a Function

-4 to 5                                      <em> -4 to 5</em>                             <

9 to 7                                       <em> -4 to 3    </em>                          <

13 to 3                                       13 to 3                              ^

-7 to 5                                        9 to 7                               ^

                                                 -7 to 5                               ^

                                           Not a Function because of this

HEY!! I’M REALLY DESPERATE RN FOR AN ANSWER SO LIKE HERE’S ALL MY POINTS!! Please show the work!
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to divide is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator

Consider the numerator

x²(x - 3) + 3x² - x + 6

= x²(x - 3) + 3x(x - 3) + 9x - x + 6

= x²(x - 3) + 3x(x - 3) + 8(x - 3) + 24 + 6

= x²(x - 3) + 3x(x - 3) + 8(x - 3) + 30

quotient = x² + 3x + 8 , remainder = 30

\frac{x^3-x+6}{x-3} = x² + 3x + 8 + \frac{30}{x-3}

Which relationships have the same constant of proportionality between yyy and xxx as the equation 3y=27x3y=27x3, y, equals, 27,
Tanya [424]

Answer:

A, B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation: 3y=27x

Making y the subject of the equation, we have:

y=\frac{27}{3}x\\y=9x

The constant of proportionality between y and x  is 9.

We want to determine which relationships have the same constant of proportionality 9.

<u>Option A</u>

y=9x

The constant of proportionality is 9.

<u>Option B</u>

2y=18x

Divide both sides by 2 to obtain: y=9x

The constant of proportionality is 9.

<u>Option C</u>

x=3, y=1/3

Substitution into y=kx gives:

1/3=3k

k=9

The constant of proportionality is 9.

<u>Option D</u>

x=6, y=2/3

Substitution into y=kx gives:

2/3=6k

k=2/3*6=4

The constant of proportionality is 4.

<u>Option E</u>

When x=2, y=18

Substitution into y=kx gives:

18=2k

k=9

However, when x=4, y=27

Substitution into y=kx gives:

27=4k

k=6.75

This is not a proportional relation since the constant of proportionality is not equal.

The correct options are A, B and C

Anyone knows the answer
jarptica [38.1K]
It's C)

the graph is decrasing, so the variable rate is negative (-2/3)

the rest was quite easy, you just take a look at where the graph cuts the y-axis and determine the rest from the rate of going up or down (increase/decrease)
