Answer: Arithmetic and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
12 - 9 = 3 9 - 6 = 3 The common difference is equal and is three and so it is an arithmetic sequence
12/9 = 4/3 9/6 = 3/2 The ratio is not equal so this is not a geometric sequence
Answer:
(5, 11) and (2, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = (x-2)² + 2
y + 4 = 3x
(x-2)² + 2 + 4 = 3x
x² - 4x + 4 + 6 = 3x
x² - 7x + 10 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 2) = 0
x - 5 = 0, x = 5
x - 2 = 0, x = 2
y = (5-2)² + 2 = 11
(5, 11)
y = (2-2)² + 2 = 2
(2, 2)
Answer:
The population of bacteria can be expressed as a function of number of days.
Population = ![\[5*2^{n-1}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B5%2A2%5E%7Bn-1%7D%5C%5D)
where n is the number of days since the beginning.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of bacteria on the first day=![\[5 * 2^{0} = 5\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B5%20%2A%202%5E%7B0%7D%20%3D%205%5C%5D)
Number of bacteria on the second day = ![\[5 * 2^{1} = 10\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B5%20%2A%202%5E%7B1%7D%20%3D%2010%5C%5D)
Number of bacteria on the third day = ![\[5*2^{2} = 20\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B5%2A2%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%2020%5C%5D)
Number of bacteria on the fourth day = ![\[5*2^{3} = 40\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B5%2A2%5E%7B3%7D%20%3D%2040%5C%5D)
As we can see , the number of bacteria on any given day is a function of the number of days n.
This expression can be expressed generally as where n is the number of days since the beginning.
PART A:
The given quadratic equation is 2x²-10x-8=0
The radicand is given by b²-4ac where a, b, and c are the constants in a quadratic form ax²+bx+c
From the given equation, we have
a = 2
b = -10
c = -8
Radicand b²-4ac = (-10)² - 4(2)(-8) = 100 + 64 = 164
The radicand is >0 hence the quadratic equation has two distinct roots
PART B:
4x²-12x+5 = 0
We can use the factorization method to solve the equation
Firstly, we multiply 4 by 5 to get 20
Then we find the pair of numbers that multiply gives 20 and sum gives -12
The pair of number is -2 and -10
Rewriting the equation
4x²-2x-10x+5 = 0
2x(2x-1)-5(2x-1) = 0
(2x-1)(2x-5) = 0
2x-1 = 0 and 2x-5 = 0
x = 1/2 and x = 5/2
Answer:
x ≥ 9 and x < 5
Step-by-step explanation:
See the line graph of a compound inequality shown in the attached photo.
Inequality has two parts. The right-hand part is shown by an arrow that is more than 9 and including 9.
So, the equation of inequality for this part is x ≥ 9.
Again, the left-hand part of the inequality graph shows another arrow which is less than 5 but not including 5.
So, the equation of inequality for this part is x < 5
Therefore, compound inequality is x ≥ 9 and x < 5 (Answer)
