Answer:
D, see description below.
There is a possible typo in the problem since these points have slope 25/23.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of a line, calculate the distance between points with a ratio of vertical to horizontal distance. This is done using the formula:
Here the points are (-4,-14) and (19,11). Substitute and simplify.
I think there is a typo in your points (-4,-14) and (19,11) because the answer doesn't align to the answer choices. But based on them, I would answer D or 24/23 since it's the closest value.
Answer:
the common ratio is either 2 or -2.
the sum of the first 7 terms is then either 765 or 255
Step-by-step explanation:
a geometric sequence or series of progression (these are the most common names for the same thing) means that every new term of the sequence is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor which is called the common ratio.
so,
a1
a2 = a1×f
a3 = a2×f = a1×f²
a4 = a3×f = a1×f³
the problem description here tells us
a3 = 4×a1
and from above we know a3 = a1×f².
so, f² = 4
and therefore the common ratio = f = 2 or -2 (we need to keep that in mind).
again, the problem description tells us
a2 + a4 = 30
a1×f + a1×f³ = 30
for f = 2
a1×2 + a1×2³ = 30
2a1 + 8a1 = 30
10a1 = 30
a1 = 3
for f = -2
a1×-2 + a1×(-2)³ = 30
-10a1 = 30
a1 = -3
the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is
sn = a1×(1 - f^(n+1))/(1-f) for f <>1
so, for f = 2
s7 = 3×(1 - 2⁸)/(1-2) = 3×-255/-1 = 3×255 = 765
for f = -2
s7 = -3×(1 - (-2)⁸)/(1 - -2) = -3×(1-256)/3 = -3×-255/3 =
= -1×-255 = 255
Answer:
30 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Alex has some target to run a certain number of miles by the end of the month.
Goal already achieved = 40% of the total goal
Number of miles already run by Alex = 12 miles
To find:
Number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of month?
Solution:
We have to find nothing but the goal of Alex here.
Let the number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of the month = 
miles
As per question statement:
40% of total number of miles to be run = 12 miles
OR
Total number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of the month = <em>30 miles</em>
To do this task the best way is always add both "sides" of ratio and divide whole group by this sum.sum=4+7=1133:11=3Now we know how much is 1 and we can multiply by 4 and by 7 to find the answer.3*4=12 - first group3*7=21 - second group
Your result is ok.
Answer:
x = {-2, 2/3}
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = -4
x = -2
3x = 2
x = 2/3
x = {-2, 2/3}
