Answer:

x = 17     y= -38

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -21

y = x - 55

It doesn't matter whether x or y is 55 less than the other right now.

<u>substitute for y:</u>

x + x - 55 = -21

<u>solve for x:</u>

2x = 34

x = 17

<u>solve for y:</u>

17 + y = -21

y = -38

A particular geometric sequence has strictly decreasing terms. After the first term, each successive term is calculated by multi
Maksim231197 [3]

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>

Give a number that is not in the domain of <br><br> f(x) = √3x-6
Harman [31]
Any number that is less than 2 will work. It is impossible to find the square root of a negative number (you can only get imaginary number) since anything square is a positive number.
PS. If you are confused by the answer, just ask me.
