The 13th term of this geometric sequence is 16,384 and the first term is 4. what is the common ratio

A geometric sequence is a sequence with a common ratio multiplied by previous term to give the next. Lets call x the common ratio, so we know that 4 was multiplied by x to give the second term, and so forth until it was multiplied again and again by x until the 16384 was reached which happens to be the 13th term, that means that 4x was multiplied by x 12 more times to give 16384, that is:
4x^12 = 16384
x^12 = 4096
x = 4096^-12
x = 4.48 x 10^-44
that is the common ratio

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 10 and passes through the point (-5, 1)? Check all
Lilit [14]

Answer:

B, E

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of that line in slope intercept form is y = -2/5x + 2

The slope of a line parallel to that line will be the same as its slope, so -2/5.

To find the y-intercept of a line that passes through the point (-5, 1) with that slope, you will have to plug in the x and y values of that point into what you know of the equation of the line.

y = -2/5x + b

1 = -2/5(-5) + b

1 = 2 + b

-1 = b

From this, you can construct an equation.

y = -2/5x - 1

However, this is not an answer choice.  

It cannot be A because this line does not have a slope of -1.

2x + 5y = 15

5y = -2x - 5

y = -2/5x - 1

It can be B because this line is the same as the equation we came up with.

It cannot be C because this line does not have a slope of -1 or a y-intercept of -3.

2x + 5y = -15

5y = -2x - 15

y = -2/5x - 3

It cannot be D because this line does not have a y-intercept of -3.

y - 1 = -2/5(x + 5)

y - 1 = -2/5x - 2

y = -2/5x - 1

It can be E because this equation matches the one we came up with.
