Answer:
f(1) = 8
Common ratio: 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1) means the firs term in a sequence.
In the function f(n), represented by 8, 4, 2, 1, .., the first term is 8.
f(1) = 8
To find the common ratio, divide any term by the term before it.
We can use any two of the given terms in the sequence EXCEPT for 8 because it is the first term and does not have a term before it.
I choose to divide the second term by the first term:
4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5
Answer:
b.
Step-by-step explanation:
The values cannot be labeled as dependent or independent without a givin equation
We know that
the formula for the <span>arithmetic sequence is
</span><span>an = a1 + (n - 1)*d
where
a1 is the first term
n is the numbers of terms
for n=3 a3=-8
-8=a1+(3-1)*d-----> -8=a1+2*d-----> equation 1
for n=7 a7=32
-32=a1+(7-1)*d----> -32=a1+6*d----> equation 2
multiply equation 2 by -1-----> 32=-a1-6*d------> equation 3
add equation 1 and equation 3
</span>-8=a1+2*d
32=-a1-6*d
----------------
24=-4*d------> d=-6
-8=a1+2*(-6) (substitute the value of d in equation 1)
-8=a1-12-----> a1=-8+12-----> a1=4
the answer is
a1=4
d=-6

Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluting an expression basically means to multiply the numbers given.
In this certain question, we are just multiplying 13 by 4 which would give us the result of 52.
