Answer:

2^{n-3} is the nth term of the given sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence given is

\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2},1,2,4 .....

We can clearly see that 1st term is \frac{1}{4} and 2nd term is \frac{1}{2}

2nd term is obtained by multiplying the 1st term by 2.

2nd term is \frac{1}{2} and 3rd term is 1.

3rd term is obtained by multiplying the 2nd term by 2.

3rd term is 1 and 4th term is 2.

4th term is obtained by multiplying the 3rd term by 2.

Clearly, the given series is a <em>Geometric Progression(GP)</em> with

First term, a = \frac{1}{4}

Common Ratio, r = 2

We know that n^{th} term for a GP is:

a_n = ar^{n-1}

Putting values of <em>a</em> and <em>r</em>

a_n = \dfrac{1}{4}2^{n-1}\\a_n = \dfrac{1}{2^{2} }2^{n-1}\\a_n = 2^{n-1-2}\\a_n = 2^{n-3}

Hence, 2^{n-3} is the nth term of the given sequence.

A guy walks into the store and steals $100 bill from the register without the owner’s knowledge. He comes back 5 minutes later a
Artemon [7]
The answer is $100
first the guy steals $100 from the owner. Therefore that $100 is a direct loss for the owner. 
the same guy comes and pays $100 for goods worth $70. and the balance is paid back to the guy. 
So the owner gets 100 and pays back 30 and gives goods worth 70. Therefore that transaction is cancelled as the amounts have been paid and no net effect with that transaction . the owner gets 70 for the goods he sold so that transaction wont lose his money. the fact that the guy paid for the bill with the money he stole isn't relevant here as the transaction has been completed
so the only loss for the owner is the $100 the guy stole at first 
answer is $100

Answer:

y-intercept: -5

Slope: 4

Equation: y = 4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. From the table of values, it shows that when x = 0, y = -5. Therefore:

y-intercept (b) = -5

✔️using two pairs from the table, (1, -1) and (2, 3):

Slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{3 -(-1)}{2 - 1} = \frac{4}{1} = 4

Slope = 4

✔️To write an equation for the function, substitute m = 4, and b = -5 into y = mx + b.

Thus:

y = 4x +(-5)

y = 4x - 5
