First, we need to solve for the common ratio from the data given by using the equation.
a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
15 = -3 r^(2-1)
-5 = r
r = -5
Then, we can find the sum by the expression:
S(n) = a(1) ( 1 - r^n) / 1-r
S(8) = -3 (1 + 5^8) / 1+5
S(8) = -195313
Answer:
B. -4x+5y=40
Step-by-step explanation:
y * 5= (4/5 x + 8) * 5
5y = 4x + 40
-4x + 5y =40
To check which ordered pair (point) is in the solution set of the system of given linear inequalities y>x, y<x+1; we just need to plug given points into both inequalities and check if that point satisfies both inequalities or not. If any point satisfies both inequalities then that point will be in solution.
I will show you calculation for (5,-2)
plug into y>x
-2>5
which is clearly false.
plug into y<x+1
-2<5+1
or -2<6
which is also false.
hence (5,-2) is not in the solution.
Same way if you test all the given points then you will find that none of the given points are satisfying both inequalities.
Hence answer will be "No Solution from given choices".
Let's assume that the faster car has a 2 mile "head start".
The faster car is 1.2 times faster (48/40) than the slower car.
It will take five 2 mile trips to "catch" the other car.
Five 2 mile trips will take 5 * 40 seconds = 200 seconds.
