Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 4)

m = $\frac{-4-5}{0-2}$ = $\frac{-9}{-2}$ = $\frac{9}{2}$ → a

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (2, 5) and (0, -4). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-4-5}{0-2}=\dfrac{-9}{-2}=\dfrac{9}{2}$

What term is 1/1024 in the geometric sequence,-1,1/4,-1/6..?

Trava [24]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\text{sixth term is equal to}\ \dfrac{1}{1024}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence:

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

$a_n$ - n-th term

$a_1$ - first term

$r$ - common ratio

$r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=...=\dfrac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}$

We have

$a_1=-1,\ a_2=\dfrac{1}{4},\ a_3=-\dfrac{1}{6},\ ...$

The common ratio:

$r=\dfrac{\frac{1}{4}}{-1}=-\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\r=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{4}}=-\dfrac{1}{6}\cdot\dfrac{4}{1}=-\dfrac{2}{3}\neq-\dfrac{1}{4}$

<h2>It's not a geometric sequence.</h2>

If $a_3=-\dfrac{1}{16}$ then the common ratio is $r=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{16}}{\frac{1}{4}}=-\dfrac{1}{16}\cdot\dfrac{4}{1}=-\dfrac{1}{4}$

Put to the explicit formula:

$a_n=-1\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}$

Put $a_n=\dfrac{1}{1024}$ and solve for <em>n </em>:

$-1\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}=\dfrac{1}{1024}\qquad\text{use}\ a^n:a^m=a^{n-m}\\\\-\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n:\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^1=\dfrac{1}{1024}\\\\-\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n\cdot(-4)=\dfrac{1}{1024}\\\\(4)\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n=\dfrac{1}{1024}\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\ \text{/multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{1}{4}/\\\\\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n=\dfrac{1}{4096}\\\\\dfrac{(-1)^n}{4^n}=\dfrac{1}{4^6}\qquad n\ \text{must be even number. Therefore}\ (-1)^n=1$

$\dfrac{1}{4^n}=\dfrac{1}{4^6}\iff n=6$

What is the slope of the line that passes through (3, -4) and (-2, 5). A)-5/9 B)-9/5 C)9/5 D)5/9

alisha [4.7K]

M = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Call (3,-4) one point
Call (-2,5) the second point.

m = (5- -4) / (-2 - 3)
m = 9/-5 = - 9 / 5

A class of 40 students elected a class president. There were 12 votes for Candidate A, and 18 votes for Candidate B.

Helen [10]

Hey there, Bulgogi!

The correct answer will be the first one since [I'm assuming] you know that to calculate the percentage of something, it's the amount of that something divided by the total amount but since only 30 students voted [12+18] multiplied by 100.

So, we are calculating the percentage on votes and 12 students voted for Candidate A so our Numerator will be 12 and our Denominator will be the total amount of student who voted, so 30 [or 12+18]

Once put into a fraction, we will get $\frac{12}{12+18}$ which would be equals to 2/5 or 0.4. Now we multiply by 100 and we get a total of 40% for Candidate A.

Thank you for using Brainly.
See you soon!

Find the Value of the letter in the following questions. Give your answers to 3 s.f.

Elis [28]

Answer:

i = 75.7°

h = 48.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

==>To find i, use the sine rule for finding angles: sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b

Where,

a = 7.2cm

sin(A) = i

b = 6.5cm

sin(B) = sin(61) = 0.8746

Thus:

sin(A)/7.2 = 0.8746/6.5

Multiply both sides by 7.2

sin(A) = (0.8746*7.2)/6.5

sin(A) = 0.969 (3 s.f)

A = i° = sin^-1(0.969) = 75.7 (3 s.f)

==>To find h, use the Cosine rule for angles:

Cos(C) = (a²+b²-c²)/2ab

cos(C) = h°, a = 4, b = 4.5, c = 3.5

a² = 16

b² = 20.25

c² = 12.25

cos(C) = (16+20.25-12.25)/(2*4*4.5)

cos(C) = 24/36

cos(C) = 0.667 (3 s.f)

C = h° = cos^-1(0.667) = 48.2° (3 s.f)
