Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

a(n) =  (-1)^(n+1)   *   ( 2 ^ (2n+1) )                    where n = 0, 1, 2, etc.

Discussion:

-2 =   (-1) * 2^1

8 =    (+1) 2^3

-32 = (-1) * 2^5

128 = (+1)* 2^7


In general,

a(n) =  (-1)^(n+1)  *   (2 ^ (2n+1))                    where n = 0, 1, 2, etc.


Regards,  

MrB

P.S.  I'll be on vacation from Friday, Dec 22 to Jan 2, 2019. Have a Great New Year!

The gas tank of your car is 40% full. There are 8 gallons of gas in the tank. What is the capacity of the gas tank?
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Percentage by which the gas tank of the car is full = 40%
Amount of gas in the gas tank = 8 gallons
Let us assume the capacity of the gas tank = x gallons
Then
40% * x = 8
(40/100) * x = 8
4x/10 = 8
4x = 8 * 10
4x = 80
x = 80/4
   = 20 gallons
So the total capacity of the gas tank of the car is 20 gallons. I hope the procedure is clear to you.

liberstina [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Pi (Ratio of the Circumference of a Circle to Its Diameter) Circles are all similar, and "the circumference divided by the diameter" produces the same value regardless of their radius. This value is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and is called π (Pi).

F(x)=2x^3+ax^2-37x-60<br><br> The binomial x-4 is a factor of f(x). Find the value of a.
jekas [21]

Given:

The function is

f(x)=2x^3+ax^2-37x-60

The binomial x-4 is a factor of f(x).

To find:

The value of a.

Solution:

If x-c is a factor of f(x), then f(c)=0.

It is given that, x-4 is a factor of f(x), then f(4)=0.

We have,

f(x)=2x^3+ax^2-37x-60

Substituting x=4, we get

f(4)=2(4)^3+a(4)^2-37(4)-60

f(4)=2(64)+a(16)-148-60

f(4)=128+16a-208

f(4)=16a-80

Now,

f(4)=0

16a-80=0

16a=80

a=\dfrac{80}{16}

a=5

Therefore, the value of a is 5.
