Answer: 96 / 4 ^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence with a first term of 96. The common ratio is the division of the 2nd term by the first term. This will be:

24/96 = 1/4

a = 96

r = 1/4

The formula will be:

ar ^n-1

= 96 × (1/4)^n-1

The concluding part is explained in the attached file.

Given the first three terms of a linear sequence: 3x – 2;x+9; 2x + 5 Determine the value of x.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then

a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is

x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides

- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 5

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

8.54

Step-by-step explanation:

formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-4 - (-7))^2 + (0-(-8))^2}$

$d=\sqrt{3^2 + 8^2}$

$d=\sqrt{9 + 64}$

$d=\sqrt{73}$

d= 8.54
