20 Answer: a₁ = 4

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

a_n=324,\ r=3,\ n=5\\\\a_n=a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}\\\\324=a_1\cdot 3^{5-1}\\\\\dfrac{324}{3^4}=a_1\\\\\dfrac{324}{81}=a_1\\\\\large\boxed{4}=a_1

21 Answer: n = 13

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

a_n=\dfrac{1}{64},\ a_1=64,\ r=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\a_n=a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}\\\\\dfrac{1}{64}=64\cdot \bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}\\\\\dfrac{1}{64\cdot 64}=\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^6\cdot 2^6}=\dfrac{1}{2^{n-1}}\\\\6+6=n-1\\\\\large\boxed{13}=n

22 Answer: n = 5

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

a_n=48,\ a_1=1875\ r=\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\a_n=a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}\\\\48=1875\cdot \bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)^{n-1}\\\\\dfrac{48}{1875}=\bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)^{n-1}\\\\\dfrac{16}{625}=\bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)^{n-1}}\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)^4=\bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)^{n-1}}\\\\4=n-1\\\\\large\boxed{5}=n

F(1)=-12, f(n)=2f(n-1) <br> find first 4 terms
amid [387]
<h3>First four terms are:   -12, -24, -48, -96</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

The notation f(1) = -12 tells us that the first term is -12.

The equation f(n) = 2*f(n-1) indicates that we're multiplying the (n-1)th term by 2 to get the nth term. Basically we multiply each term by 2 to get the next term.

-12*2 = -24

-24*2 = -48

-48*2 = -96

So the first four terms are -12, -24, -48, -96.

-----------------------------------

Alternative Approach

f(1) = -12 .... first term

f(n) = 2*f(n-1) ... nth term recursive formula

f(2) = 2*f(2-1) ... plug in n = 2

f(2) = 2*f(1)

f(2) = 2*(-12) ... plug in f(1) = -12

f(2) = -24 ... second term

f(n) = 2*f(n-1) .... resetting for the next computation

f(3) = 2*f(3-1) ... plug in n = 3

f(3) = 2*f(2)

f(3) = 2*(-24)  ... plug in f(2) = -24

f(3) = -48 .... third term

f(n) = 2*f(n-1) ... one more reset

f(4) = 2*f(4-1) .... plug in n = 4

f(4) = 2*f(3)

f(4) = 2*(-48) ... plug in f(3) = -48

f(4) = -96 ... fourth term

We get the first four terms to be -12, -24, -48, -96, which was the same as earlier.

Which best describes the range of the function f(x)=2/3(6)x after it has been reflected over the x axis
shtirl [24]
The range is all real numbers.

The function given simplifies to just f(x) = 4x.

This is just a straight line that is increasing from left to right. If we reflect the line over the x-axis, it is still a line that goes on forever in each direction.

Therefore, the range will be all real numbers.

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the y=-1/5x-9? <br><br> Plz help me
labwork [276]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a given line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Here we are given the line y = -(1/5)x - 9.  The slope is (-1/5).  The negative reciprocal of this is +5.  That's the answer you wanted.
