svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so we are looking for the x intercept (where the line crosses the x axis).

to do this, we sub in 0 for y and solve for x.

y = 1/2x + 4....sub in 0 for y

0 = 1/2x + 4

-1/2x = 4

x = 4 * -2

x = -8 <=== so it crosses the x axis at (-8,0)

Find an explicit formula for the sequence 30\,,\,150\,,\,750\,,\,3750,...30,150,750,3750,...30, space, comma, space, 150, space,
OverLord2011 [107]
The series shown is an geometric series and the explicit formula is given by:
an=ar^(n-1)
where
a=first term
n=number of terms
r=common ratio
from the sequence:
a=30
r=5
thus the explicit formula will be:
an=30(5)^(n-1)
hence the answer is:
an=30(5)^(n-1)
