If r = -\sqrt{2}, and a5 = \sqrt{2}, what is the first term of the sequence?

Answer: C

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the first term (a₁)

a₁ = x

a₂ = x(-√2)  = -x√2

a₃ = -x√2(-√2)  = 2x

a₄ = 2x(-√2)   = -2x√2

a₅ = -2x√2(-√2)   = 4x

Since it is given the a₅ = √2, then we  can solve: 4x =√2

Divide both sides by 4 to get: x = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}

this can also be written as: \frac{1}{4}\sqrt{2}

What are the solutions to the following system of equations? Select the correct answer below. y = x^2 − 4x + 3 2x + y = 6
ELEN [110]
2x+y=6

y=6-2x and y=x^2-4x+3

The solution occurs when they are equal so we can say y=y which is:

x^2-4x+3=6-2x  add 2x to both sides

x^2-2x+3=6  subtract 6 from both sides

x^2-2x-3=0  factor

(x+1)(x-3)=0

So x=-1 and 3, using y=6-2x we find the corresponding y values...

y(-1)=6--2=8, y(3)=6-6=0 so the two solutions are the points:

(-1,8) and (3,0)
