Write the explicit formula

Mathematics
1 answer:
Margaret [11]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no single number we can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next one, this is not arithmetic. That means it's geometric, if it's a sequence at all. To get from 2 to 6 we multiply by 3. To get from 6 to 18 we multiply by 3. To get from 18 to 54 we multiply by 3. Therefore, this is in fact geometric and the common ratio is 3. The standard form of a geometric explicit formula is

A_n=a_1(r)^{n-1 where n is the position of a number in the sequence, a1 is the first number in the sequence, and r is the common ratio. We have then

a1 = 2 and r = 3. Therefore, the explicit formula is

A_n=2(3)^{n-1 and you can use this to find the value of any number in the sequence. Very handy; much more so than the recursive formula, which requires that all the numbers in a sequence be found in order in order to get to a desired value.

Which equation, when graphed, has x-intercepts at (2, 0) and (4, 0) and a y-intercept of (0, –16)?
vova2212 [387]
f(x)= -2 (x - 2) ( x - 4)

if x=2 ⇒ f(x)=y=0 ⇒ graph of f(x) intercept x axis in (2,0)
if x=4 ⇒ f(x)=y=0 ⇒ graph of f(x) intercept x axis in (4,0)
if x=0 ⇒f(x)= -2 *(-2)*(-4)= - 16 ⇒ graph of f(x) intercept y axis in (0,- 16)

⇒ f(x)= -2 (x - 2) ( x - 4) is the answer

What is the diameter of a circle with a circumference of 220 ft
tino4ka555 [31]

Circumference of the circle is given as = 220 feet

We have to find the diameter.

Circumference is found as = 2 * PI * r

220=2*3.14*r

220=6.28r

r=35.03

Diameter is 2*radius

Diameter = 2\times35.03 = 70.06

Hence, diameter of the circle is 70.06 feet.

7th grade math. answer ASAP. If you answer correctly i will give thx, 5 star, and brainliest
Viktor [21]
Okay. First thngs first, let's divide each of them. 2.6/1.3 is 2. Now in terms of exponents, we would just simply subtract the powers, because we are doing division. 9 - 2 is 7. The value of the expression is 2 * 10^7. Even writing the problem out in number form (2,600,000,000/130), you can still see the answer to the problem as 20 million. The answer is B.
