Find n for the sequence for which an = 37, a1 = -13 and d = 5.

1 answer:

5 0

The equation for a sequence is
an=a1+(n-1)d
Replace the variable with what you were given you get
37=-13+(n-1)5
Simplify
37=-13+5n-5
Combine like terms
37=5n-18
Reverse operations
55=5n
Simplify
n=11

Emerson is making a punch that contains 60% grape juice and the rest lemon-lime soda. The punch has 2 liters of lemon-lime soda.

valina [46]

Part A.

Consider a punch containing L liters.

60% of these that is $\frac{60}{100}L=0.6L$ is grape juice, and the rest, 0.4 L is lemon-soda.

so, for the variable L, the total amount of punch, the total amount of grape juice is 0.6 L
and the amount of lemon soda in the punch is 0.4L

Part B.

For L=2, we substitute and get:

0.6 L=0.6 * 2 liters = 1.2 liters of grape juice

0.4 L = 0.4 * 2 liters = 0.8 liters of lemon soda.

Which statement is true about the domain of y = 3(2^-x)? Explain.

SVEN [57.7K]

We want to determine the domain of ${y=3 \cdot 2^{-x}=3 \cdot ({2^{-1}})^x=3 \cdot ({ \frac{1}{2}})^x$

any function of the form $y=f(x)=a \cdot b^x$ is called an "exponential function",
the only condition is that b is positive and different from 1, and a is a nonzero real number.

The domain of such functions is all real numbers.

That is for any x, the expression 3(2^-x) "makes sense".

Answer: The domain is all real numbers
