Distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
4n - 2 - 2n = 2(2n - 1 - n)
4n - 2 - 2n = 2n - 2 = 2(n - 1)
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
3.25+.3=3.55
Answer:
The Recursive Formula for the sequence is:
; a₁ = 125
Hence, option D is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r'.
The formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence is

where
aₙ is the nth term of the sequence
a₁ is the first term of the sequence
r is the common ratio
We are given the explicit formula for the geometric sequence such as:

comparing with the nth term of the sequence, we get
a₁ = 125
r = 1/5
Recursive Formula:
We already know that
We know that each successive term in the geometric sequence is 'r' times the previous term where 'r' is the common ratio.
i.e.

Thus, substituting r = 1/5
and a₁ = 125.
Therefore, the Recursive Formula for the sequence is:
; a₁ = 125
Hence, option D is correct.
-12+3b-1=-5-b
Combine like terms to get:
3b-13=-5-b
Add 13 to both sides:
3b= 8-b
Add b to both sides:
4b=8
Divide both sides by 4:
4b/4=8/4
b=2
Final answer
b=2
3x - (2x + 8) = -6
3x -2x - 8 = -6
x - 8 = -6
x - 8 + 8 = -6 + 8
x = 2
