Answer:
- an = 3(-2)^(n-1)
- 3, -6, 12, -24, 48
Step-by-step explanation:
These variable names, a1, r, are commonly used in relationship to geometric sequences. We assume you want the terms of a geometric sequence with these characteristics.
a1 is the first term. r is the ratio between terms, so is the factor to find the next term from the previous one.
a1 = 3 (given)
a2 = a1×r = 3×(-2) = -6
a3 = a2×r = (-6)(-2) = 12
a4 = a3×r = (12)(-2) = -24
a5 = a4×r = (-24)(-2) = 48
The first 5 terms are 3, -6, 12, -24, 48.

The explicit formula for the terms of a geometric sequence is ...
an = a1×r^(n -1)
Using the given values of a1 and r, the explicit formula for this sequence is ...
an = 3(-2)^(n -1)
Answer:
(2,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Add them together to get rid of the y.
-6x = -4 - y
-7x = -22 + y
=
-13x = -26
Then solve for x.
-13x/-13 = -26/-13
x = 2
Now plug in the x value into either equation and solve for y.
-7(2) = -22 + y
-14 = -22 + y
-14 + 22 = -22 + 22 + y
8 = y
So...
x = 2
y = 8
(2,8)
Answer:
f(x)⁻¹ = (x - 11)²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse of the function, you need to (1) swap the places of the "x" and "y" variables and then (2) solve for "y". Remember, f(x) is another way of writing "y".
y = √x + 11 <----- Original equation
x = √y + 11 <----- Swap variables
x - 11 = √y <----- Subtract 11 from both sides
(x - 11)² = (√y)² <----- Square both sides
(x - 11)² = y <----- Simplify
Another way of writing the output of an inverse function is with f(x)⁻¹.
Answer:
8 cylinders
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula ...
A = 2πr(r +l) . . . . . for radius r and length l
__
The cylinders Rufus has each have an area of ...
A = 2π(5 cm)(5 cm +4 cm) = 90π cm² ≈ 282.74 cm²
That means 2500 cm² of paint will cover ...
2500 cm²/(282.74 cm²/cylinder) ≈ 8.84 cylinders
Rufus has enough paint to cover 8 cylinders completely.
