Answer:

A series is used only for n taking the values of natural numbers

But a function or an equation is used for all real values of x. It is not necessary that x should be a natural number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is used when domain is all real values

f(x) = 3x+5 is valid for all x real. x can take values as irrational also, negative or fractions.

But in a series, such as 2+3n, we have the restriction for domain n as only the set of all natural numbers

Here n cannot take negative or 0 or fractions or irrational numbers.

Thus the domain is the one which makes the difference of using an equation and a series.

A series is used only for n taking the values of natural numbers

But a function or an equation is used for all real values of x. It is not necessary that x should be a natural number.

If you could put in the tablet.

But the equation would be: a_n = a_1 (r)^(x-1)

with a_1 being the first category

r being 5 how much brighter than the day before is

and x is what nr. in the sequence it is

But I'm not sure as I cannot see the table

What is the product of (-3s+2t(4s-t)

galben [10]

Use the FOLD method
(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd

−12s^2 + 3st + 8ts − 2t^2

Collect like terms
-12{s}^{2}+(3st+8st)-2{t}^{2}

Simplify
-12{s}^{2}+11st-2{t}^{2}−12s2+11st−2t2

The answer is = -12s^2 + 11st - 2t^2

Answer:

59 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since angle BGC is 40 degrees and angle AGC is 19 degrees and they are asking for angle AGB which is the sum of both angles together, you just add the 40 degrees plus 19 degrees.

ANSWER

4.1 units to the nearest tenth.

EXPLANATION

The graph of the two functions are shown in the attachment.

The coordinates of point A is (1.6,4.1).

The coordinates of point B is (7.1,6.1)

The x-axis represents the ground level.

The distance of point A from the ground level is how far the y-coordinate of this point is from the x-axis.

Which is |4.1-0|=4.1
