Answer:

-1280

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways you could do this. You could just do the question until you come to the end of f(4). That is likely the simplest way to do it.

f(1) = 160

f(2) = - 2 * f(1)

f(2) = -2*160

f(2) = -320

f(3) = -2 * f(2)

f(3) = -2 * - 320

f(3) = 640

f(4) = - 2 * f(3)

f(4) = - 2 * 640

f(4) = - 1280

I don't know that you could do this explicitly with any real confidence.

$f(1)=160\\f(n+1)=-2f(n)\\\\f(2)=-2\cdot 160=-320\\f(3)=-2\cdot(-320)=640\\f(4)=-2\cdot 640=-1280$

Answer:

C) The third table. K= 5

$C)\frac{10}{2}=\frac{15}{3}=\frac{25}{5}=\frac{40}{8}=k= 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Below there are the missing data:

A proportional relationship through a constant k. It is obtained when we divide:

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

2)In this case, when we divide the temperature (T) by the time (h).

$k=\frac{T}{h}$

3)So, examining the table below we are searching for a ratio k common to all measures (temperatures over hour).

$A) \frac{12}{3}\neq\frac{25}{5}\neq\frac{36}{6}\neq\frac{81}{9}\\B) \frac{22.5}{3}\neq\frac{30}{4}\neq\frac{52.5}{7}\neq\frac{67.5}{8}\\C)\frac{10}{2}=\frac{15}{3}=\frac{25}{5}=\frac{40}{8}=k= 5\\D)\frac{8.5}{2}\neq\frac{22.5}{5}\neq\frac{28.5}{7}\neq\frac{36}{8}$

Line L1, L2 and L3 are in the same plane, L1 is perpendicular to L2, and L3 is parallel to L1. which of the following statement

exis [7]

Only Statement 2 is surely correct.
because there maybe chances that the line L1 and L3 lies above the line L2 and they can also fulfill the condition of perpendicularity so we can't be sure about statement 3 & statement 1 is clearly incorrect
