Use the 2 dots on the line located at (0,1) and (-3,0).
The slope is the change in Y over the change in X:
Change in Y = 0-1 = -1
Change in X = -3 - 0 = -3
Slope = -1 / -3 = 1/3
They intercept in this case is Y1 which = 1.
The equation is y = 1/3x + 1
"inversely proportional," please.
z = k/x
When x is 3, z = 6; find k: 6 = k/3, or k = 18.
Then z = 18/x. When x = 12, z = 18/12 = 2/3 (answer)
54, 36, 24 are the 1st 3 element of a geometric progression with 2/3 as a common ratio: PROOF:
the 1st term is 54, (a₁= 54) the 2nd term a₂ = 24, then
(a₂ = a₁.r) or 36 = 54.r → r= 36/54 = 2/3. Same logique for the 3rd term.
So 2/3 is common ratio. We know that :U(n) = a.(r)ⁿ⁻¹. Then if a =54 and r = x (given by the problem), then f(x) = 54.xⁿ⁻¹
n, being the rank of any element of this geometric progression
<em>x = 8</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 1 to both sides.
Add 2x to both sides.
Divide 40 by 5.
x = 8
