8 0

Answer:

x = 0, x = $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x² = 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

8x² - 2x = 0 ( factor out 2x from each term )

2x(4x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

4x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 1 ⇒ x = $\frac{1}{4}$

what is the value of the expression? 4(6/10−1/5)+0.4 enter your answer, in simplest form, in the box.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer: 2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression : $4(\dfrac{6}{10}-\dfrac{1}{5})+0.4$

To solve the given expression , we need to follow BODMAS (Bracket→ Of Divide→ Multiplication →Add →Subtract).

According to BODMAS , first we simplified the expression present inside the brackets .

$4(\dfrac{6-2(1)}{10})+0.4$ [10= LCM[10,5]]

$=4(\dfrac{6-2}{10})+0.4$

$=4(\dfrac{4}{10})+0.4$

$=(\dfrac{4\times4}{10})+0.4$ [Multiply]

$=(\dfrac{16}{10})+0.4$ [Simplify]

$=1.6+0.4=2.0$ [Add]

Hence, the value of the expression in the simplified form = 2.0

What is the explicit formula for this geometric sequence?<br> 8,4, 2, 1, ...

g100num [7]

Answer:

$a_{n}$ = 8 * $0.5^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the common ratio

r = 4/8 = 1/2

and first term is 8

a_n = a_1 * r^(n-1)

a_n = 8 * (1/2)^(n-1)

$a_{n}$ = 8 * $0.5^{n-1}$
