The answer is 5 5/6 simplified to the max.

rewrite the equation with separated parts

-3 1/2 - 2 1/3

-3 - 2 = -5

-1/2 - 1/3? u need to find the LEAST common denominator

-3/6 - 2/6 = -5/6

how did I get 6?

Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:
1/2, 1/3

For the denominators (2, 3) the least common multiple (LCM) is 6.

Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 6.

Now lastly combine them total and its -5 - 5/6 = -5 5/6.

What is the recursive formula when given the explicit formula for the following geometric sequence?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a careful look at a(n) =  6(-8)^(n-1).

The first term is 6.  This is the result if we let n = 1; 6(-8)^0 = 6(1) = 6.  Thus, we can immediately eliminate possible answer choices A and D.

What's the next term?  Knowing that the first term, a(1), is 6, the next term is found by multiplying this 6 by (-8)^1, obtaining -48.

The next (third) term is found by multiplying this -48 by (-8)^2, obtaining -48*(+64), or - 3072.

Note that the sign of (-8)^(n-1) alternates, being odd when n-1 is odd and even when n-1 is even.

Answer C is the correct one.

Answer:

The correct pair of functions is the third one:  h(x)=(x−24)^2 and g(x)=x2

Step-by-step explanation:

Example:  If we have q(x) = x^2 and its graph, moving the vertex of this graph 24 units to the right results in r(x) = (x - 24)^2.

The correct pair of functions is the third one:  h(x)=(x−24)^2 and g(x)=x2

Note:  the fourth pair is incorrect, because the " + " sign moves the graph of x^2 24 units to the left.

Yuliya22 [10]
Let x and y be the rate per hour for Mechanic 1 and 2 respectively.

Then,
x+y=205 ---------- (1)
Additionally,
10x+15y = 2500 ------ (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2;
Multiply (1) by 10 and subtract two from the result,
10x+10y = 2050
10x +15 y =2500
----------------------
        -5 y = --450 => y = 450/5 = $90
Then,
x= 205-90 = $115

Therefore,
Mechanic 1 charged $115 per hour
Mechanic 2 charged $90 per hour
