Answer: a(n) = 5 - 3n

the sequence has:

a1 = 2

a2 = -1

a3 = -7

.........

we can see that: a2 - a1 = a3 - a2 = -3

=> the sequence is a arithmetic sequence

=> the distance between the numbers is d = -3

because this sequence is a arithmetic sequence

=> a(n) = a1 + (n - 1)d = 2 + (n - 1).(-3) = 5 - 3n

Which equation can be solved by using this expression?

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The correct answer option is B. 2 = 3x + 10x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to determine whether which of the given equations in the answer options can be solved using the following expression:

$x=\frac{-3 \pm\sqrt{(3)^2+4(10)(2)} }{2(10)}$

Here, $a = 10, b = 3$ and $c=-2$ .

These requirements are fulfilled by the equation 4 which is:

$12=3x+10x^2$

Rearranging it to get:

$10x^2+3x-2=0$

Substituting these values of $a,b,c$ in the quadratic formula:

$x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$x= \frac{-3 \pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(10)(-2)} }{y}$

In four years, 40% of a radioactive element decays. Find its half-life. Round to one decimal place.

White raven [17]

To find the answer, use $k = \frac{2.303 }{ 4} (log\frac {100 }{ 40})$ , and then use the equation $t=\frac{.693}{k}$ To find it's half life.
