Answer:

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y

12y - 40 - 4y = 6y - 18

8y -40 = 6y - 18

8y - 6y - 40 = -18

2y - 40 = -18 ( the justification for step 2 is to isolate y on one side of the equation in order to solve for y )

2y - 40 + 40 = 40 - 18

2y = 22

2y/2 = 22/2

y = 11

Check :

12(11) - 40 - 4(11) = 6 (11) - 18

132 - 40 - 44 = 66 - 18

48= 48

Can someone please help me with comparing function

Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.

What is the recursive rule for the sequence 1, −6, 36, −216, ... ? an=6⋅an−1 , a1=1 an=−6⋅an−1 , a1=1 an=−16⋅an−1 , a1=1 an=16⋅a

labwork [276]

Answer:

Option 2) $a_n = -6(a_{n-1})$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following sequence in the question:

$1, -6, 36, -216, ...$

We have to find the recursive relation for the sequence.

$a_1 =1\\a_2 = -6 = -6(1) = -6(a_1)\\a_3 = 36 = -6(-6) = -6(a_2)\\a_4 = -216 = -6(36) = -6(a_3)$

Thus, continuing in the following manner, we get,

$a_n = -6(a_{n-1})$

Thus, the recursive rule is given by

Option 2) $a_n = -6(a_{n-1})$
