Answer:

  • using the rule given: 2.5
  • using an exponential rule: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluating the linear rule given, for n = 1, we have ...

  a1 = 7(1/2)(1) -1 = 7/2 -1 = 5/2 = 2.5

_____

We suspect you may intend the exponential function ...

  an = 7(1/2)^(n-1)

Then, for n = 1, we have ...

  a1 = 7(1/2)^(1 -1) = 7(1) = 7 . . . . the first term is 7

_____

When writing an exponential expression in plain text, it requires the exponential operator, a caret (^). If the exponent contains any arithmetic, as this one does, it must be enclosed in parentheses.

What is the reflection of point P(-1, 6) across the line y = x?
gladu [14]
If you are reflecting across the line y = x, then the x value becomes the y-vale and the y-value becomes the x-value.  So the answer would be  (6, -1)  (Just trade places with x and y.)
