Answer:

an = 1/2 (4)^ (n-1)

a6 = 512

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a geometric sequence is

an = a1 (r)^(n-1)

where an is the term of the sequence

a1 is the initial term of the sequence

r is the ratio

and n is the term number

We know a1 = 1/2 and r =4

I will assume that x=6 means we want to know the 6th term

an = 1/2 (4)^ (n-1)

We want to find the 6th term

a6 = 1/2 * 4^(6-1)

a6 = 1/2 * 4^5

a6 = 512

Find the constant of variation for the relation and use it to write an equation for the statement. Then solve the equation.

hammer [34]

Answer: option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x and z, the form of the equation is:

$y=kxz$

Where k is the constant of variation.

If y=4 when x=6 and z=1 then substitute these values into the expression and solve for k:

$4=k(6)(1)\\4=6k\\k=\frac{4}{6}\\\\k=\frac{2}{3}$

Substitute the value of k into the expression. Then, the equation is:

$y=\frac{2}{3}xz$

To find the value of y when x=7 and z=4, you must substute these values into the equation. Therefore you obtain:

$y=k=\frac{2}{3}(7)(4)$

$y(7,4)=\frac{56}{3}$

given the functions f(x)=4x^2-1, g(x)=x^2-8x+5, and h(x)=-3x^2-12x +1, rank them from least to greatest based on their axis of s

Lesechka [4]

The formula for axis of symmetry is -b/2a.

For f(x):
0/2(4)
0/8
Axis of symmetry= 0

For g(x)
-(-8)/2(1)
8/2
Axis of symmetry= 4

For h(x)
-(-12)/2(-3)
12/-6
Axis of symmetry= -2

Order from least to greatest: -2, 0, 4

Final answer: h(x), f(x), g(x)
