Hello,

a(2)=-6
a(3)=-6*r
a(4)=-6*r²
a(5)=-6*r^3=162
a(5)/a(2)=r^3=162/(-6)=-27==>r=-3

a(1)=-6/(-3)=2
a(2)=2*(-3)
a(3)=2*(-3)²
a(4)=2*(-3)^3
a(5)=2*(-3)^4

a(n)=2*(-3)^(n-1)

The equation of the graph shown plotted in the coordinate plane is y = x + 4. What statement is not true about this graph? A. Ea
frez [133]

Definately option C

  • As it's mentioned y=x+4 it must be function
  • So in function every domain has its unique range.
  • Hence here the slope is not constant

As

The graph shown is a parabola which is not y=x+4

So option C is wrong

Six years less than Tracey's age as an expression
likoan [24]

Answer:

T-6=X

Step-by-step explanation:

Tracey = T

X = Awnser

If we are subtracting six from Tracey's age, you would subtract six from T

since we don't know Tracey's age, it is represented by T.

Hope this Helps!

Which equation is equivalent to log Subscript 3 Baseline (x + 5) = 2?
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct option is right-bracket squared 3 squared =x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is \log _{3}(x+5)=2

Option a: \log _{3}(x+5)=3^{2}

This is not possible because using logarithmic rule, if \log _{a} b=c then b=a^{c}

Hence, option a is not equivalent to \log _{3}(x+5)=2

Option b: \log _{3}(x+5)=2^{3}

This is not possible because using logarithmic rule, if \log _{a} b=c then b=a^{c}

Hence, option b is not equivalent to \log _{3}(x+5)=2

Option c: x+5=3^{2}

This is possible because using logarithmic rule, if \log _{a} b=c then b=a^{c}

Hence, option c is equivalent to \log _{3}(x+5)=2

Option b: x+5=2^{3}

This is not possible because using logarithmic rule, if \log _{a} b=c then b=a^{c}

Hence, option b is not equivalent to \log _{3}(x+5)=2

Thus, the correct option is c: x+5=3^{2}

Hence, the equation x+5=3^{2} is equivalent to \log _{3}(x+5)=2
