Answer:

\text{d.}\quad a_n=-2.25(2)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is given as 2, so the base of any exponential must be 2 (not -2 or 2.25). The 4th term is negative, so the initial value must be negative (since the multiplying factor is positive). The only selection matching these requirements is d.

You know the general term is ...

... an = a1·r^(n-1)

so the 4th term is

... -18 = a1·2^(4-1) = 8·a1

Then the first term is ...

... a1 = -18/8 = -2.25 . . . . . confirms our choice of answer d.

The cost of renting a car for a day is $0.70 per mile plus a $20 flat fee
Andreyy89

Answer:

a) y = .70x + 20

-To find this, use the rate as x since it will change based on the number of miles. Since 20 is a flat fee, it can be added at the end as a constant.

b) This graph forms a straight line.

-This is because the answer in a is a linear equation.

c) The slope is .70 and the y-intercept is 20.

-For this one, the y-intercept is always the constant at the end of the equation and the slope is the coefficient of x.

Adult tickets to a play cost $1.75 each and student tickets cost $1.25 each. Suppose there are twice as many student tickets sol
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: the number of adult tickets sold is 400

the number of student tickets sold is 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold at the play.

Let y represent the number of student tickets sold at the play.

Adult tickets to a play cost $1.75 each and student tickets cost $1.25 each. If the income from the play was $1,700, it means that

1.75x + 1.25y = 1700 - - - - - - - - - -1

Suppose there are twice as many student tickets sold as adult tickets. This means that

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

1.75x + 1.25 × 2x = 1700= 1700

1.75y + 2.5y = 1700

4.25y = 1700

y = 1700/4.25 = 400

x = y/2 = 400/2 = 200
