Answer:
a₁ = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is
= 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here
= 1530 and r = 2, thus
= 1530 , that is
a₁ (256 - 1) = 1530
255a₁ = 1530 ( divide both sides by 255 )
a₁ = 6
Answer:
g is decreasing for all x less than or equal to -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of the function y = |x| looks like a "vee."
g(x) = |x + 1| - 7 moves that graph 1 unit to the <u>left</u><em> </em>(I know, it looks backwards!) and down 7 units. See attached image.
Function g(x) is decreasing for all
.
1 /5 = 0 . 2
45 * . 2 = 9
Hope this helped :)
