Answer:

a14 = -40,960

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence has a first term of 5 and a common ratio of -10/5 = -2, so the n-th term is given by ...

an = a1·r^(n-1)

an = 5·(-2)^(n-1)

The 14th term is then ...

a14 = 5·(-2)^(14-1) = -5·2^13 = -5·8192

a14 = -40,960

Which table represents the graph of a logarithmic function in the form y=log3x when b>1?

alex41 [277]

Answer:

The satisfied table of the given function $y = log_{b} (x)$

x 1/8 1/4 1/2 1 2

y -3 -2 -1 0 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation :-

Given logarithmic function $y = log_{b} (x)$ if b >1

Given first table

put x = $\frac{1}{8}$ given b > 1 so we can choose b = 2

$y = log_{2} (\frac{1}{8} )$

$y = log_{2} (2^{-3} )$

we will apply logarithmic formula

log x ⁿ = n log (x)

$y = log_{2} (2^{-3} ) = -3 log_{2} (2) = -3 (1) = -3$

y = -3

ii)

put x = $\frac{1}{4}$ given b > 1 so we can choose b = 2

$y = log_{2} (\frac{1}{4} )$

$y = log_{2} (2^{-2} )$

we will apply logarithmic formula

log x ⁿ = n log (x)

$y = log_{2} (2^{-2} ) = -2 log_{2} (2) = -2 (1) = -2$

y = -2

iii)

put x = $\frac{1}{2}$ given b > 1 so we can choose b = 2

$y = log_{2} (\frac{1}{2} )$

$y = log_{2} (2^{-1} )$

we will apply logarithmic formula

log x ⁿ = n log (x)

$y = log_{2} (2^{-1} ) = -1 log_{2} (2) = - (1) = -1$

y = -1

iv)

put x = 1 given b > 1 so we can choose b = 2

$y = log_{2} (1 )$ = 0

y = 0

v)

put x = $2$ given b > 1 so we can choose b = 2

$y = log_{2} (2 )$

y = 1

Final answer:-

The satisfied table of the given function

x 1/8 1/4 1/2 1 2

y -3 -2 -1 0 1

Evaluate the expression. 2x – 19, when x = –11 3 –41 –3 41

kakasveta [241]

Substitute (-11) in for x. You will get 2(-11)-19. Then, use the order of operations to get -22-19=
-41.
Hope that helps!

The age of the students is about 0.67 years away from the 13.3 years.

The Mean Absolute Deviation is the average distance away from the mean. For the last choice, you should select more variable. Since the average is higher, there is a greater distance between the points and the mean.
