Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for this sequence is a(n) = a(1)*(-1/4)^(n - 1). We don't yet know a(1).
If a(3) = 128, then 128 = a(1)*(-1/4)^(3 - 1), or
128 = a(1)*(1/16)
and so a(1) = 128/16
resulting in the specific formua a(n) = 8(-1/4)^(n - 1)
Now let's find a(7):
a(7) = 8(-1/4)^1 * (-1/4)^(6)
or
a(7) = 8(-1/4)^7
Answer:
x^2+1/x^2
(x+1/x)^2 = x^2+1/x^2 +2
(5)^2 = x^2+1/x^2 + 2
25 = x^2+1/x^2 + 2
25-2 = x^2+1/x^2
23 = x^2+1/x^2

Answer:
2 meters, cuz shovels are usually pretty long
Answer:
<em>29 minutes more</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m represent minutes
changing the statement to algebra, since the second company charges a different rate at night and weekend we have the equation below;
$19.99 + $0.35m > $29.99
Subtract 19.99 from both sides to isolate m and we have;
$19.99 -$19.99 + $0.35 > $29.99 - $19.99
= $0,35m > $10.00
Divide both side by 0.35 to obtain the value of m;
> 
= m > 28.57
<em>m ⩾ 29 minutes</em>
<em>The second company's will be twenty nine minutes or more costlier than the first company</em>
Important: 35x2 12x − 36 is not an equation; to obtain an equation, you must set <span>35x2 12x − 36 = to 0:
</span><span>35x^2 + 12x − 36 = 0. Also, "the square of x" must be represented by "x^2," and you must insert either the + or the - sign in front of the term 12x.
I am assuming that you meant </span>35x^2 + 12x − 36 = 0.
If that is indeed the case, then a = 35, b = 12 and c = -36
and the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or (12)^2 - 4(35)(-36) = 5184.
Since the discriminant is positive, this equation has 2 real, unequal solutions. They are
-12 plus or minus sqrt(5184)
x = -----------------------------------------
2(35)
