Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first five terms

we come with a1

a(n) = a1 +(n-1)d

a(17) = a1 +(17-1)6=71

So a1=71-96= -25

first five terms:

a1= -25

a(2) = -25 +(2-1)6=-19

a(3) = -25 +(3-1)6=-13

a(4) = -25 +(4-1)6=-7

a(5) = -25 +(5-1)6=-1

hope it helps

Consider the following number line

Sati [7]

Answer:

<h2>-2.25</h2><h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Lets start with D:

It says, 0.43 but we're on the OPPOSITE of 0, so it can't be a positive number.

Same goes for C.

Now we are on to our last two.

B, is -2.5 and A, is -0.8

So, now we look at the point B and assume, because it says Select a reasonable value for Point B.

To me, point B looks to be about around -2.0

So, the reasonable value for this problem would be -2.25

Let f(x)=3x2-2 wrote a function g whose graph is a reflection in the y axis of the graph of f

lorasvet [3.4K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

g(x) = 3x^2 -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection in the y-axis replaces x with -x.

g(x) = f(-x) = 3(-x)^2 -2

g(x) = 3x^2 -2

_____

The given function is symmetrical about the y-axis, so its reflection is itself.

If the total amount of points in a test is 140, and we want to find 10% of those points, we can do the following to figure out how much points the question is worth...

140 points x 10% = 140 x 0.1 = 14 points for the short-answer quesion.
