Answer:
Because it's not a quadratic function.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- using the rule given: 2.5
- using an exponential rule: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluating the linear rule given, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)(1) -1 = 7/2 -1 = 5/2 = 2.5
_____
We suspect you may intend the exponential function ...
an = 7(1/2)^(n-1)
Then, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)^(1 -1) = 7(1) = 7 . . . . the first term is 7
_____
When writing an exponential expression in plain text, it requires the exponential operator, a caret (^). If the exponent contains any arithmetic, as this one does, it must be enclosed in parentheses.

- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
x - 5y = -40
18x - 5y = 45
<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>
18x - 5y = 45
- Multiply both sides by -1: -18x + 5y = -45
<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>
x - 5y = -40
-18x + 5y = -45
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Elimination</em>
- Combine equations: -17x = -85
- Divide -17 on both sides: x = 5
<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define equation: x - 5y = -40
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 5 - 5y = -40
- Isolate <em>y</em> term: -5y = -45
- Isolate <em>y</em>: y = 9
