DONT GO TO LINK ITS DANGEROUS ⚠️
on my calculator 48^1/5 equals 2.168943542
but out of a fraction 1/5 equals 0.2 ( they both equal the same thing)
2.168943542
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a careful look at a(n) = 6(-8)^(n-1).
The first term is 6. This is the result if we let n = 1; 6(-8)^0 = 6(1) = 6. Thus, we can immediately eliminate possible answer choices A and D.
What's the next term? Knowing that the first term, a(1), is 6, the next term is found by multiplying this 6 by (-8)^1, obtaining -48.
The next (third) term is found by multiplying this -48 by (-8)^2, obtaining -48*(+64), or - 3072.
Note that the sign of (-8)^(n-1) alternates, being odd when n-1 is odd and even when n-1 is even.
Answer C is the correct one.
Ok! So, given a quadratic function<span>, </span>y<span> = ax</span>2<span> + bx + c, when "a" is positive, the </span>parabola <span>opens upward and the vertex is the minimum value. On the other hand, if "a" is negative, the graph opens downward and the vertex is the maximum value. Now, let's refer back to our original graph, </span>y<span> = </span><span>x2</span><span>, where "a" is 1.
Hope this helps.</span>
