Represent the geometric series using the explicit formula. 3, −6, 12, −24, … f(n) = 3 ⋅ (2)(n−1) f(n) = 3 ⋅ (−2)(n−1) f(n) = f(n

− 1) ⋅ (2) f(n) = f(n − 1) ⋅ (−2)

Answer:

f(n)=(-2)(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term of this Geometric Series (3, −6, 12, −24, ...) can also be found through this explicit formula: f(n)=(-2)(n-1) Because the n^{th} term is found by the product of its common ratio "q", times its predecessor n-1. Where n, refers to the order of the term.

So let's test it, suppose we want to find the 4th term. We know the common ratio and the first term. Then we can write f(n) as:

\\f(n)=3(-2)^{n-1}

f(4)=f(3)*-2⇒-24=12*-2⇒-24=-24

The explicit formula is ok.

How would you convince a fellow student hat the number 0.57 is a rational number
Pavlova-9 [17]

Start by proving to them that the number 0.57 can be converted into a fraction . A whole number can't exactly be put in to a fraction. 0.57 can be converted to 14.25/25. This information means that 0.57 IS a rational number. Hope this convinced them!

Use the discriminate to determine the number and the nature of the solutions of the giving equation.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Since b^2 -4ac = 256 we have 2 real distinct root roots

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2+12x=7

We need to subtract 7 to get it in the proper form

4x^2+12x-7=7-7

4x^2+12x-7=0

The discriminant is b^2 -4ac

when the equation is ax^2 +bx+c

so a =4   b=12 and c=-7

(12)^2 - 4(4)(-7)

144 +112

256

If b^2 -4ac > 0 we have 2 real distinct roots

If b^2 -4ac = 0 we have one real root

If b^2 -4ac < 0 we have two complex root

Since b^2 -4ac = 256 we have 2 real distinct root roots
