Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the arithmetic sequence with a4=-1 and a6=-13

first: find the difference: an=a+(n-1)d

a4=-1

that means a1+d(4-1)=-1 ( since a4 given and need to find a1)

a1+3d=-1 first equation

a1+d(6-1)=-13 ( a6 is given)

a1+5d=-13 second equation

a1+3d=-1

a1+5d=-13 ( find a and d by subtraction)

a1+3d-a1-5d=-1-(-13)

2d=12

d=-12/2=-6 ( substitute d in the equation: a1+3d=-1)

difference =-6

a1=17

a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,....

the sequence is : 17,11,5,-1,-7,-13,.....

hope it works

If f(x)f(x) is an exponential function where f(1.5)=5f(1.5)=5 and f(7.5)=79f(7.5)=79, then find the value of f(3)f(3), to the ne
stiv31 [10]

Answer: 7.93

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) is an exponential function. Suppose f(x) is ae^{bx}

f(1.5)=5\ \text{and}\ f(7.5)=79

\Rightarrow 5=ae^{1.5b}\\\Rightarrow \ln 5=\ln a-1.5b\quad \ldots(i)

Similarly,

\Rightarrow 79=ae^{7.5b}\\\Rightarrow \ln(79)=\ln a+7.5b\quad \ldots(ii)

Subtract (i) and (ii)

\Rightarrow \ln (79)-\ln (5)=9b\\\Rightarrow \ln (\frac{79}{5})=9b\\\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{\ln (\frac{79}{5})}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow b=0.3066

Insert the value of b

\Rightarrow 5=ae^{0.46}\\\Rightarrow a=5\times 0.6312\\\Rightarrow a=3.156\approx 3.16

So, the function becomes

\Rightarrow f(x)=3.16e^{0.3066b}

\Rightarrow f(3)=3.16e^{0.3066\times 3}\\\Rightarrow f(3)=7.927\approx 7.93

[10] In the following given system, determine a matrix A and vector b so that the system can be represented as a matrix equation
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

y=-\frac{158}{579}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the matrix A, took all the numeric coefficient of the variables, the first column is for x, the second column for y, the third column for z and the last column for w:

A=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&2&2\\-7&-3&5&-8\\4&1&1&1\\3&7&-1&1\end{array}\right]

And the vector B is formed with the solution of each equation of the system:b=\left[\begin{array}{c}3\\-3\\6\\1\end{array}\right]

To apply the Cramer's rule, take the matrix A and replace the column assigned to the variable that you need to solve with the vector b, in this case, that would be the second column. This new matrix is going to be called A_{2}.

A_{2}=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&3&2&2\\-7&-3&5&-8\\4&6&1&1\\3&1&-1&1\end{array}\right]

The value of y using Cramer's rule is:

y=\frac{det(A_{2}) }{det(A)}

Find the value of the determinant of each matrix, and divide:

y==\frac{\left|\begin{array}{cccc}1&3&2&2\\-7&-3&5&-8\\4&6&1&1\\3&1&-1&1\end{array}\right|}{\left|\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&2&2\\-7&-3&5&-8\\4&1&1&1\\3&7&-1&1\end{array}\right|} =\frac{158}{-579}

y=-\frac{158}{579}

Is f(x)=e^2 an exponential function? If so what is its base? If not, why?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

No. It is a constant function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) = e^2 is not an exponential functional. Rather, it is a constant function. The reason for this is that in f(x) = e^2, there is no x involved on the right hand side of the equation. The approximate value of e is 2.718281, and the approximate value of 2.718281^2 is 7.389051. This means that f(x) = e^2 = 7.389051. It is important to note that for any value of x, the value of the function remains fixed. This is because the function does not involve the variable x in it. The graph of the function will be a line parallel to the x-axis, and the y-intercept will be 7.389051. For all the lines parallel to x-axis, the value of the function remains the same irrespective of the value of x. Also, the derivative of the function with respect to x is 0, which means that the value of the function is unaffected by the change in the value of x!!!

hurry plzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!! Find the height of a square pyramid that has a volume of 75 cubic feet and a base length of 5 feet. A
kow [346]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a square pyramid can be found using:

v=1/3 bh

Where b is the area of the base, and h is the height

First, let's find the area of the base

a=l*l

We know the length is 5, so we can substitute it in

a=5*5

a=25

Now we know b(area), is 25, and we know the volume is 75, so we can substitute them in

v=1/3 bh

75=1/3(25)h

Divide both sides by 1/3, or multiply both sides by the reciprocal, 3/1

225=25h

Divide both sides by 25

h=9

So, the height is 9 feet , or choice B
