Answer:

<h2>Tₙ = -3(2)ⁿ</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit rule for determining the nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹ where;

a is the first term of the geometric sequence

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

If a geometric sequence has a common ratio of 2 and the 12th term is −12,288, then;

T₁₂ = ar¹²⁻¹

T₁₂ = ar¹¹

Given T₁₂ = -12,288 and r = 2, we can calculate the first term a

-12,288 = a2¹¹

a = -12,288/2¹¹

a =  -12,288/2048

a = -6

Since the explicit rule for determining the nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹, then for the sequence given, the explicit rule will be;

Tₙ = -6(2)ⁿ⁻¹

Tₙ = -6 * 2ⁿ * 2⁻¹

Tₙ = -6 * 2ⁿ * 1/2

Tₙ = -3(2)ⁿ

Hence the explicit rule that describes this sequence is Tₙ = -3(2)ⁿ

(09.01) A biologist created the following graph to show the relationship between the temperature of water (x), in degrees Celsiu
lukranit [14]

Answer:

x-intercept:

A line that crosses the graph at x-axis.

i.e substitute y = 0 and solve for x.

As per the statement:

A biologist created the following graph to show the relationship between the temperature of water (x), in degrees Celsius, and the number of insect larvae (y) in the water

Given the graph:

y = -2x^2+20x+400

Substitute y = 0  we have;

-2x^2+20x+400 = 0

⇒-2(x^2-10x-200) = 0

⇒x^2-10x-200 =0

⇒x^2-20x+10x-200 =0

⇒x(x-20)+10(x-20)=0

⇒(x-20)(x+10)=0

By zero product property we have;

x-20 =0 and x+10 = 0

⇒x = 20 and x = -10

Therefore,  the x-intercept represents the water has no larvae at −10 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius.
