Answer:

Geometric sequences are exponential functions

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequences are exponential functions.

The general term of a geometric sequence is given by the exponential function ...

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

where a[1] is the first term and r is the common ratio.

You will notice that the independent variable (n) is in the exponent of this function. Hence it is an exponential function.

What is the solution to the system that is created by the equation y=-x+6 and the graph shown below?

mina [271]

The graph graphed is y=1/2x

so
y=1/2x and y=-x+6
y=y so
1/2x=-x+6
times 2 both sides
x=-2x+12
add 2x both sides
3x=12
x=4

sub back
y=1/2x
y=1/2(4)
y=2

(4,2) is the solution

What is the value of y in this system of equations: 3x + y = 9 y = –4x + 10 ?

Ahat [919]

3x + y = 9 (I)
y = –4x + 10 (II)
------------------------
 $\left \{ {{3x + y = 9 } \atop {y = -4x + 10 }} \right.$

Pass the incognito "4x" to the first term, changing the signal when changing sides.
-------------------------
simplify by (-1)
 $\left \{ {{3x + y = 9.(-1)} \atop {4x + y = 10 }} \right.$ 

-------------------------
 $\left \{ {{- 3x - \diagup\!\!\!\!y =-9} \atop {4x + \diagup\!\!\!\!y = 10}} \right. 
$

-------------------------
 $\left \{ {{- 3x = - 9} \atop {4x = 10}} \right.$ 

-----------
 $\boxed{x = 1}$ 

Substitute in equation (I) to find the value of "Y".

3x + y = 9 (I)
3*(1) + y = 9
3 + y = 9
y = 9 - 3
$\boxed{y = 6}$

Answer:
$\boxed{\boxed{ \left \ {{x=1} \atop {y=6}} \right. }}$
