A particular geometric sequence has strictly decreasing terms. After the first term, each successive term is calculated by multi

plying the previous term by $\frac{m}{7}$. If the first term of the sequence is positive, how many possible integer values are there for $m$?

Answer:

6 possible integers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A decreasing geometric sequence

Ratio = \frac{m}{7}

Required

Determine the possible integer values of m

Assume the first term of the sequence to be positive integer x;

The next sequence will be x *  \frac{m}{7}

The next will be; x *  (\frac{m}{7})^2

The nth term will be x *  (\frac{m}{7})^{n-1}

For each of the successive terms to be less than the previous term;

then \frac{m}{7} must be a proper fraction;

This implies that:

0 < m < 7

<em>Where 7 is the denominator</em>

<em>The sets of </em>0 < m < 7<em> is </em>\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}<em> and their are 6 items in this set</em>

<em>Hence, there are 6 possible integer</em>

The graph above is the graph of: y = | x + 4 | − 2 y = | x − 4 | − 2 y = | x − 2 | − 4
Liono4ka [1.6K]

We need to identify the equation of the graph given.

This graph corresponds to a translation of the graph described as:

y=|x|

Comparing the graph given with the one above, we can see it was shifted 4 units to the left.

When we translate the graph of a function f(x) d units to the left, it is transformed as:

f(x)\rightarrow f(x+d)
