ANSWER

The rule for the pattern is

a_n = 4 {(2)}^{n - 1}

EXPLANATION

The terms in the pattern are:

4,8,16,32,64

The first term is

a_1 = 4

There is a constant ratio of:

r = \frac{8}{4} = 2

The rule for the pattern is given by:

a_n = a_1 {r}^{n - 1}

We substitute the values into the general rule to get,

a_n = 4 {(2)}^{n - 1}

Therefore the rule for the pattern is

a_n = 4 {(2)}^{n - 1}

Now let us check to see if our rule works by using it to find the 5th term in the pattern.

a_5= 4 {(2)}^{5 - 1}

a_5= 4 {(2)}^{4}

a_5= 4 \times 16 = 64

Great!

The 5th term is actually 64, hence our rule works.

Julie wanted to earn money to attend a basketball camp. She started with a gift of money from her grandparents and then saved $2
adoni [48]
The equation would be y = 25x + 50

In order to find this equation, we need to know how much the gift from her grandparents was. To do so, we have to find out how much she's saved from dog walking. 

Since she saves $25 a month for 7 months, we can find the total amount as:

25*7 = 175

Then we can subtract that from the total she has saved to find the amount for the gift.

225 - 175 = 50

Finally, we put the amount per month in the equation with the gift as the y intercept to create the equation above.

Find the indicated limit, if it exists.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

d) The limit does not exist

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Calculus</u>

Limits

  • Right-Side Limit:                                                                                             \displaystyle  \lim_{x \to c^+} f(x)
  • Left-Side Limit:                                                                                               \displaystyle  \lim_{x \to c^-} f(x)

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:                                                             \displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c

Limit Property [Addition/Subtraction]:                                                                   \displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} [f(x) \pm g(x)] =  \lim_{x \to c} f(x) \pm \lim_{x \to c} g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

In order for a limit to exist, the right-side and left-side limits must equal each other.

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

\displaystyle f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}5 - x,\ x < 5\\8,\ x = 5\\x + 3,\ x > 5\end{array}

<u>Step 2: Find Right-Side Limit</u>

  1. Substitute in function [Limit]:                                                                         \displaystyle  \lim_{x \to 5^+} 5 - x
  2. Evaluate limit [Limit Rule - Variable Direct Substitution]:                           \displaystyle  \lim_{x \to 5^+} 5 - x = 5 - 5 = 0

<u>Step 3: Find Left-Side Limit</u>

  1. Substitute in function [Limit]:                                                                         \displaystyle  \lim_{x \to 5^-} x + 3
  2. Evaluate limit [Limit Rule - Variable Direct Substitution]:                           \displaystyle  \lim_{x \to 5^+} x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8

∴ Since  \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5^+} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \to 5^-} f(x)  , then  \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5} f(x) = DNE
