The first term, a, is 2.  The common ratio, r, is 4.  Thus,

a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).

Check:  What's the first term?  Let n=1.  Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8.  Is that correct?  No.

Try this instead:

a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1).  Is this correct?    Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2?      2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2.  YES.

The desired explicit formula is   a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.

Genrish500 [490]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  r = ±√47

Step-by-step explanation:

  -7r^2 = -329 . . . . given

  r^2 = 47 . . . . . divide both sides by -7 (multiplication property of equality)

  r = ±√47 . . . .  square root both sides (square root property of equality)

Answer:

The soda costs 2.20 and the sandwich costs 7.70

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, set the soda cost as x. We now know that the sandwich cost is 3.5x. Add these together and set equal to 9.90

x + 3.5x = 9.90

4.5x = 9.90

x = 2.20

This is the cost of the soda. Now we can multiply that by 3.5 to get the sandwich cost.

3.5 * 2.20 = 7.70

Given the following functions f(x) and g(x), solve (f/g)(-4) and select the correct answer below. F(x)=4x-4 G(x)=x-1
yan [13]
To start set up a fraction with the f(x) on top and g(x) on bottom
(f/g)(x) = (4x - 4)/(x - 1)  - This is the function that we are going to use

Plug in -4 for x
(f/g)(-4) = (4(-4) - 4)/(-4 - 1) = (-16 - 4)/(-5) = (-20)/(-5) = 4

So...
(f/g)(-4) = 4
