Answer:

x = -.5

Step-by-step explanation:

6.8x + 9.3 = -9.4 + 3.4 (2-5x)

Distribute the 3.4

6.8x + 9.3 = -9.4 + 6.8 - 17x

Combine like terms

6.8x + 9.3 = -2.6 -17x

Add 17x to each side

6.8x+17x + 9.3 = -2.6-17x+17x

23.8x +9.3 = -2.6

Subtract 9.3 from each side

23.8x +9.3-9.3 = -2.6-9.3

23.8x = -11.9

Divide by 23.8

23.8x/23.8 = -11.9/23.8

x = -.5

Answer:

<h2>x = -0.5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

6.8x + 9.3 = -9.4 + 3.4 (2-5x)\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 10}\\\\68x+93=-94+34(2-5x)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\68x+93=-94+(34)(2)+(34)(-5x)\\\\68x+93=-94+68-170x\\\\68x+93=-26-170x\qquad\text{subtract 93 from both sides}\\\\68x=-119-170x\qquad\text{add 170x to both sides}\\\\238x=-119\qquad\text{divide both sides by 238}\\\\x=-\dfrac{119}{238}\\\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{2}}

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (−2, 0) and (2, 8)? (1 point) y = 2(x + 2) y = 2(x − 2) y =
Sonja [21]

Answer: y=2(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is

y=\frac{8-0}{2-(-2)}=\frac{8}{4}=2

Using the point (-2, 0) to substitute into point-slope form, we get the equation to be \boxed{y=2(x+2)}

Does the series converge or diverge? If it converges, what is the sum? Show your work. ∑ ∞ n = 1 − 4 ( − 1 / 2 ) n − 1
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the series,

∑ ∞ n = 1 − 4 ( − 1 / 2 ) n − 1

I think the series is summation from n = 1 to ∞ of -4(-1/2)^(n-1)

So,

∑ − 4 ( − ½ )^(n − 1). From n = 1 to ∞

There are different types of test to show if a series converges or diverges

So, using Ratio test

Lim n → ∞ (a_n+1 / a_n)

Lim n → ∞ (-4(-1/ 2)^(n+1-1) / -4(-1/2)^(n-1))

Lim n → ∞ ((-4(-1/2)^(n) / -4(-1/2)^(n-1))

Lim n → ∞ (-1/2)ⁿ / (-1/2)^(n-1)

Lim n→ ∞ (-1/2)^(n-n+1)

Lim n→ ∞ (-1/2)^1 = -1/2

Since the limit is less than 0, then, the series converge...

Sum to infinity

Using geometric progression formula

S∞ = a / 1 - r

Where

a is first term

r is common ratio

So, first term is

a_1 = -4(-½)^1-1 = -4(-½)^0 = -4 × 1

a_1 = -4

Common ratio r = a_2 / a_1

a_2 = 4(-½)^2-1 = -4(-½)^1 = -4 × -½ = 2

a_2 = 2

Then,

r = a_2 / a_1 = 2 / -4 = -½

S∞ = -4 / 1--½

S∞ = -4 / 1 + ½

S∞ = -4 / 3/2 = -4 × 2 / 3

S∞ = -8 / 3 = -2⅔

The sum to infinity is -2.67 or -2⅔

A system of equations is given below. For what value(s) of x is f(x)=g(x) ?
NARA [144]

\large{f(x) = g(x)}   \\  \large{ {x}^{2}  + 3x = x + 3}

Since we are solving the quadratic equation because the highest degree in the equation is second. We arrange in the form of ax²+bx+c = 0.

\large{  {x}^{2}  + 3x - x - 3 = 0}

Combine like terms.

\large{ {x}^{2}  + 2x - 3 = 0}

Solve the equation by factoring.

\large{(x  + 3)(x - 1) = 0} \\  \large{x =  - 3,1}

Hence the values of x that make f(x) = g(x) are -3 and 1.

Answer

  • x = -3,1
