Answer:

The first term of the sequence is -120.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:

an = a0*r^(n-1)

Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:

a0*r^(n-1) = an

a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]

We then apply the data given to us

a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]

a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120

The first term of the sequence is -120.

Find the values of x any y.
Ede4ka [16]

There are so many types of angles, let's see what we've got here!

--(5x - 17) and 48 are alternate interior angles, which means that they are congruent.

--(5x - 17) and y are supplementary angles.

--48 and y are same-side interior angles, which means that they are also supplementary.

Let's solve for x first.

5x - 17 = 48

5x = 65

x = 13

Now, let's solve for y.

48 + y = 180

y = 132

Hope this helps!! :)

Two piecewise functions are shown below. What is the value of
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what your problem here is.

you understand the inequality signs ?

anyway, to get

6×f(-2) + 3×g(1)

we can calculate every part of the expression separately, and then combine all the results into one final result.

f(-2)

we look at the definition.

into what category is -2 falling ? the one with x<-2, or the one with x>=-2 ?

is -2 < -2 ? no.

is -2 >= -2 ? yes, because -2 = -2. therefore, it is also >= -2.

so, we have to use

1/3 x³

for x = -2 that is

1/3 × (-2)³ = 1/3 × -8 = -8/3

g(1)

again, we look at the definition.

into what category is 1 falling ? the one with x > 2 ? or the one with x <= 1 ?

is 1 > 2 ? no.

is 1 <= 1 ? yes, because 1=1. therefore it is also <= 1.

so we have to use

2×|x - 1| + 3

for x = 1 we get

2×0 + 3 = 3

6×f(-2) = 6 × -8/3 = 2× -8 = -16

3×g(1) = 3× 3 = 9

and so in total we get

6×f(-2) + 3×g(1) = -16 + 9 = -7

In a sample of students, 125 said they exercise on a regular basis. How large was the sample if 27.3% said they exercised on a r
krek1111 [17]

First, let's declare a variable

x = # of students

Now, let's create an equation to model the problem.

x * 0.273 = 125

Divide both sides by 0.273

x = 457.8 = 458 students.

Note, I rounded to the nearest whole number.
