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.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with y-intercept −5 and slope −2/5
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{2}{5}x-5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>

<em />

We have

m=-\dfrac{2}{5},\ b=-5

Substitute:

y=-\dfrac{2}{5}x+(-5)}=-\dfrac{2}{5}x-5

Reason abstractly. Are all horizontal lines parallel? Use slope<br> explain how you know.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

All horizontal lines are NOT parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

We learned that lines go on forever.  

If one line is slightly slanted, and the other line is completely straight,  these lines are not parallel, as they will meet at some point.

Hope this helped :)

A 5×6 rectangular grid with unit cells is given. Let A(0, 0) and B(5, 6) be the bottom-left corner and top-right corner, respect
harina [27]

Answer:

462 paths from A to B

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, a possible question is to determine the number of possible paths on the grid map.

The first step is to represent the grid map itself. (See attachment 1)

From the question, we understand that:

  • Only right movement is allowed in the horizontal direction
  • Only up movement is allowed in the vertical direction

There are a several number of ways to navigate through. However, one possible way is in attachment 2

In attachment 2,

  • R represents the right movement
  • U represents the up movement

And we have:

R = 5     and    U = 6

The number of possible paths (N) is then calculated as:

N = \frac{(N + U)!}{N!U!}

Substitute values for N and U

N = \frac{(5 + 6)!}{5!6!}

N = \frac{11!}{5!6!}

N = \frac{39916800}{120 * 720}

N = \frac{39916800}{86400}

N = 462

<em>Hence, there are 462 possible paths from A to B</em>
