What is (-x+3)-(x-5)

Mathematics

Answer:

-2x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

we can write the equation (-x+3)-(x-5) as 1(-x+3)-1(x-5)

= 1(-x+3)-1(x-5)

then we use the distributive property

=1(-x+3)-1(x-5)

= -1x+3-1x+5

then we get the x numbers to one side and the numbers without x to one side.

= -1x-1x+5+3

then we add them( for adding -1x-1x we use the rules for adding numbers negative number then there are two negative like -1x-1x we add them when you add them when the answer comes the answer will be negative )

= -2x-+8 is the farthest we can simplify.

Find the formula an for the nth term of the geometric sequence satisfying the following conditions: a1 = -2,
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = - 2

an = a1 * r^(n - 1)

a6 = -486

-486 = - 2 * r^(6-1)                      Divide by 2

243 = r^5

The largest value that r could be is 3.

4^5 = 1024

(243)^(1/5) = 3

So the general formula

an = -2*(3)^(n - 1)
