Answer:

6, -6, 6, -6 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the recursion formula for a sequence

a_{n+1}=-a_n\\$where a_1=6\\

The first five terms of the sequence are:

\text{First Term, }a_1=6\\$Second Term, a_2=a_{1+1}=-a_1=-6\\$Third term, a_3=a_{2+1}=-a_2=6\\$Fourth term, a_4=a_{3+1}=-a_3=-6\\$Fifth term, a_5=a_{4+1}=-a_4=6

Therefore, the first five terms of the sequence:

a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5=6, -6, 6, -6$ and 6.

Answer: It’s the second one!

Explanation: The dot is open and pointing to the side of the numbers greater than -3. It has to be an open dot because it is “greater than -3” not “greater than or equal to-3”! :)

The set of order pairs (-1, 8), (0,3) (1,2) and (2, -7) represent a function. What is the range of the function?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Answer: The range is the set {8, 3, 2, -7} which can be sorted to get {-7, 2, 3, 8}

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

Explanation:

The range is simply the set of possible y values. All you have to do is list all the y coordinates and surround the values in curly braces. The curly braces indicate a set. Every point is of the form (x,y). The y coordinate is the second value listed of each ordered pair.

Lostsunrise [7]

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

(x_1,\ y_1) - point

We have the point (3,\ -2)\to x_1=3,\ y_1=-2 and the slope m=\dfrac{2}{3}

Substitute:

y-(-2)=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-3)\\\\\boxed{y+2=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-3)}

4. If the paint costs $30 per gallon and you need to spend $60 on supplies, and you can
Bezzdna [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand this right, then you need paint and additional supplies.

but I don't see any information indicating how many gallons of paint I will need.

so, I can go only with the 1 gallon specified.

so,

1×30 + 60 = $90

we can save $45 per month.

then we need

90 / 45 = 2

months to have enough money.

please update the numbers to how many gallons you really need, and then take that result and divide it by the 45 savings per month.

If you place a 10-foot ladder against the top of a 6-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bott
Anika [276]

Answer: 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right triangle and label the sides using the given information. (Drawing below) Use pythagorean theorem to find the missing length:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(building)^2 + (missing piece)^2 = (ladder)^2

6^2 + x^2 = 10^2

36 + x^2 = 100. subtract 36

x^2 = 64. square root of both sides

x = 8
