Answer:

4, 12, 20, 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1st one has the pattern of 2x

3 * 2 = 6

6 * 2 = 12

12 * 2 = 24

Everything in this sequence is true

The 2nd one has the pattern of divided by 5

250/5 = 50

50/5 = 10

10/5 = 2

The 2nd one is true

The 3rd one has the pattern of 3x

5 * 3 = 15

15 * 3 = 45

45 * 3 = 135

The 3rd one is true

The 4th one however, I don't seem to see a pattern

4 * 3 = 12

But...

12 * 3 ≠ 20

20 * 3 ≠ 28

Which makes it false

Hope this helps!!!

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

$ 1,350

Step-by-step explanation:

i = (prt) / 100

p = $ 1,200 r = 2.5% t = 5 years

i = (1,200 x 2.5 x 5) / 100

i = $ 150

amount = p + i

= 150 + 1,200

= $ 1,350

Line FG goes through the points (4,9) and (1,3). Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to FG and passes through

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$x + 2y= 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points:

$F = (4,9)$

$G = (1,3)$

Required

Determine the equation of line that is perpendicular to the given points and that pass through $(2,0)$

First, we need to determine the slope, m of FG

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where

$F = (4,9)$ --- $(x_1,y_1)$

$G = (1,3)$ --- $(x_2,y_2)$

$m = \frac{3 - 9}{1 - 4}$

$m = \frac{- 6}{- 3}$

$m =2$

The question says the line is perpendicular to FG.

Next, we determine the slope (m2) of the perpendicular line using:

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{m}$

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line is then calculated as:

$y - y_1 = m_2(x - x_1)$

Where

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,0)$

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$

$y = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 1$

Multiply through by 2

$2y = -x + 2$

Add x to both sides

$x + 2y= -x +x+ 2$

$x + 2y= 2$

Hence, the line of the equation is $x + 2y= 2$
