Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A(n) = 1 - 0.1(n-1)

A(1) = 1- 0.1*(1-1) = 1 - 0.1*0 = 1

A(2) = 1- 0.1*(2-1) = 1 - 0.1*1 = 1- 0.1 = 0.9

A(3) = 1 - 0.1(3-1) = 1 - 0.1*2 = 1-0.2=0.8

Method:

A(1)=1

D = A(2)-A(1) = 0.9 - 1 = -0.1

A(n) = A(1)+(n-1)*d = 1 + (n-1)*(-0.1)

= 1 - 0.1(n -1)

Plug the values in the equation and find b
(x, y) and m = slope
$5 = ( - 7)( - 1) + b \\ b = - 2 \\ y = - 7x - 2$

(07.05) Which of these is a simplified form of the equation 7x + 4 = 5 + 3x + 1x? (4 points) 3x = 9 3x = 1 11x = 9 11x = 1

slava [35]

Okay first you need to combine like terms together (3x and 1x)

7x + 4 = 5 + 4x

now you need x only on one side, you could subtract either 7x or 4x

3x + 4 = 5

subtract 4 over

3x = 1 is the answer

This equation represents an exponential function that passes through the point (2, 80).

miss Akunina [59]

we know that

If the point belongs to the graph, then the point must satisfy the equation

we will proceed to verify each case

case A.) $f(x)=4(x^{5})$

The point is $(2,80)$

Verify if the point satisfy the equation

For $x=2$ find the value of y in the equation and compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=4(2^{5})$

$f(2)=128$

$128\neq 80$

therefore

the equation $f(x)=4(x^{5})$ not passes through the point $(2,80)$

case B.) $f(x)=5(x^{4})$

The point is $(2,80)$

Verify if the point satisfy the equation

For $x=2$ find the value of y in the equation and compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=5(2^{4})$

$f(2)=80$

$80=80$

therefore

the equation $f(x)=5(x^{4})$ passes through the point $(2,80)$

case C.) $f(x)=4(5^{x})$

The point is $(2,80)$

Verify if the point satisfy the equation

For $x=2$ find the value of y in the equation and compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=4(5^{2})$

$f(2)=100$

$100\neq 80$

therefore

the equation $f(x)=4(5^{x})$ not passes through the point $(2,80)$

case D.) $f(x)=5(4^{x})$

The point is $(2,80)$

Verify if the point satisfy the equation

For $x=2$ find the value of y in the equation and compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=5(4^{2})$

$f(2)=80$

$80=80$

therefore

the equation $f(x)=5(4^{x})$ passes through the point $(2,80)$

therefore

the answer is

$f(x)=5(x^{4})$

$f(x)=5(4^{x})$
