Let <em>f(x)</em> = <em>x</em>³ + <em>x</em> - 5. <em>f(x)</em> is a polynomial so it's continuous everywhere on its domain (all real numbers). Since

<em>f</em> (1) = 1³ + 1 - 5 = -3 < 0

and

<em>f</em> (2) = 2³ + 2 - 5 = 5 > 0

it follows by the intermediate value theorem that there at least one number <em>x</em> = <em>c</em> between 1 and 2 for which <em>f(c)</em> = 0.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

You start at the Y Intercept of 2, then you go up 2 units, and to the left 3 units.  You will then make a line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is not a negative slope, it will point to the top right corner.

what is the common ratio of the geometric sequence below? –96, 48, –24, 12, –6, ... a, -2 b,-1/2 c, 2 d, 1/2
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Option b is correct.

The common ratio for the given geometric sequence is; \frac{-1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is;  -96, 48 , -24, 12 , -6, .....

Since, given sequence is Geometric

Geometric Sequence in which each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant(i.e common ratio)

In general we write geometric sequence as;

a , ar, ar^2, ar^3 , .....

where a be the first term and r is the common ratio.

On comparing the given sequence with general geometric sequence;

we get

a = -96                  ......[1]

ar = 48                   ......[2]

ar^2 = -24              .....[3]

and so on....        

To find the common ratio i.e, r;

Divide equation [2] by [1];

\frac{ar}{a} =\frac{48}{-96}

Simplify:

r = \frac{-1}{2}

Similarly,

by dividing the equation [3] by [2] we get;

\frac{ar^2}{ar} = \frac{-24}{48}

Simplify:

r = \frac{-1}{2}

As, you can see that the value of r is constant i.e, r= \frac{-1}{2} in the given sequence.

Therefore, the common ratio for the given geometric sequence is; r= \frac{-1}{2}

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the coordinates of the given points to find the slope.

difference in y-coordinates = -3 - 6 = -9

difference in x-coordinates = 2 - (-1) = 3

slope = -9/3 = -3

NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE
Ilya [14]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = \frac{1}{2} bh

a. substitute b = 6 and h = 5 into the formula

A = \frac{1}{2} × 6 × 5 = \frac{1}{2} × 30 = 15 units²

b.

Multiply both sides of the formula by 2

2A = bh, that is

bh = 2A ← divide both sides by b

h = \frac{2A}{b} = \frac{2(16)}{4} = \frac{32}{4} = 8

c

Using

bh = 2A ← divide both sides by h

b = \frac{2A}{h} = \frac{2(12)}{4} = \frac{24}{4} = 6

Hong made 2 identical necklaces, each having beads and a pendant. The total cost of the beads and pendants for both necklaces wa
egoroff_w [7]
B+ p= 10.40
b=2x 2.50
Now using substitution method replace b in first equation with value of second equation basically combing the two equations into one do you end up with one variable to solve .
2 x 2.50 +p =10.40
5 + p=10.40
P=$5.40
b =$5.00
The answer is EACH pendant cost $2.70
(You have to divide 5.40 by two )
