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.

Please help explanation if possible
poizon [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The given equation is:

y = -2x + 5………………(i)

Comparing the equation with y = mx+c, we get;

m1 = -2

Also another equation of the line which passes through point (-4,2), we get;

(y-2) = m2(X+4)............(ii) { using the formula (y-y1) = m2(x-x2)}

According to the question, they are perpendicular to eachother, So according to the condition of perpendicular lines;

m1*m2 = -1

-2*m2 = -1

or, m2 = 1/2.

Therefore, m2= 1/2.

Now, keeping the value of m2 in equation (ii).

(y-2) = 1/2(x+4)

y = (1/2)x + 4

Therefore, the required equation is: y = (1/2)x + 4.

<u>Hope</u><u> it</u><u> helps</u><u>!</u>

A person invested $6,000, some at 7% and the rest at 5%. The income from the 7% investment is equal to the income from the 5% in
8090 [49]

Answer:

The person invested $3500 at 7% and $2500 at 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that 0,07x+0,05x=6000 because the investment is equal both in one as in another, where x is the income from the investment.

Solving the equation we have:

0,12x=6000\\x=50000

Then to get the incomes:

At 7%: I=0.07*50000\\I=$3500

And at 5%: I=0.05*50000\\I=$2500

Finally we can demonstrate the answer because the  income at 7% + income at 5% are 3500+2500=$6000

I NEED HELP BADLY!!!
DaniilM [7]
Vertical angles are where the top equals the bottom or the left equals the right angle. So we would do:
8x - 13 = 5x + 8
And then substitute.
3x = 21
x = 7
