Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=-1, then we substitute it into the equation. -(-1)^2 is just 1, minus 2 is -1

f(x) = -1

A recipe requires ¾ cup of nuts for 1 batch of muffins. Write the number of batches of muffins that can be made using 7 ½ cups o

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

10 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 cups = 1 muffins

15/2 cups = x muffins

For x muffins,

3/4 × X = 15/2 × 1

3x × 2 = 15×4

6x = 60

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 60/6

X = 10

Hence 10 batches of muffins will be made from 15/2 cups of nuts.

What is the common ratio for the geometric sequence? 18, 12, 8, 16/3,…

alex41 [277]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A geometric sequence : 18, 12, 8, 16/3,…

Solution :

Each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant in a Geometric Sequence .

In a Geometric Sequence common ratio is denoted by r

$r = \frac{a_{n} }{a_{n-1} }$

for n = 2

$r = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }$

⇒ $r = \frac{12 }{18 }$

⇒ $r = \frac{2 }{3 }$

for n = 3

$r = \frac{a_{3} }{a_{2} }$

⇒ $r = \frac{8 }{12 }$

⇒ $r = \frac{4 }{6 }$

⇒ $r = \frac{2}{3 }$

Thus the common ratio 'r' = 2/3
