If tossing 1 head is 1/2, then you have to do 1/2^4 which is 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 (I imagine it as a tree diagram if that helps). 2^4 is 16, so your answer is b) 1/16. Hope this helps!

What is the common difference in the sequence 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,...?

Bas_tet [7]

The answer is D

You just need to subtract term 1 (5) from term 2 (10) to find the answer, and the common difference between each sequential term is 5

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 2 that passes through the points -2 -7 and 5 7

Marat540 [252]

Hello!
Really, we could finish this problem without knowing the slope or just having one of the given points.
However, since they gave us the slope, let's take the easier way.

y = 2x + b
To find b, we can plug in one of the points. (it doesn't matter which)
7 = 2(5) + b
7 = 10 + b
b = 7-10 = -3

So, the final equation is y = 2x - 3 or answer choice D.

Hope this helps!! let me know if you have ANY questions.

Let f(x) = x+2/x+6 <br> f^-1(-6) =

GREYUIT [131]

We can explicitly find the inverse. If $f^{-1}(x)$ is the inverse of $f(x)$ , then

$f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right) = \dfrac{f^{-1}(x)+2}{f^{-1}(x)+6} = x$

Solve for the inverse :

$\dfrac{f^{-1}(x) + 2}{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x$

$\dfrac{f^{-1}(x) + 6 - 4}{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x$

$1 - \dfrac4{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x$

$1 - x = \dfrac4{f^{-1}(x) + 6}$

$f^{-1}(x) + 6 = \dfrac4{1-x}$

$\implies f^{-1}(x) = \dfrac4{1-x} - 6$

Then when x = -6, we have

$f^{-1}(-6) = \dfrac4{1-(-6)} - 6 = \dfrac47-6 = \boxed{-\dfrac{38}7}$

Alternatively, we can first solve for x such that $f(x) = -6$ . Then taking the inverse of both sides, $x = f^{-1}(-6)$ . (The difference in this method is that we don't compute the inverse for all x.)
