Answer:
5) 729, an=3^n, a[1]=3; a[n]=3·a[n-1]
6) 1792, an=7(4^(n-1)), a[1]=7; a[n]=4·a[n-1]
Step-by-step explanation:
The next term of a geometric sequence is the last term multiplied by the common ratio. (This is the basis of the recursive formula.)
The Explicit Rule is ...
for first term a₁ and common ratio r.
The Recursive Rule is ...
a[1] = a₁
a[n] = r·a[n-1]
__
5. First term is a₁ = 3; common ratio is r = 9/3 = 3.
Next term: 243×3 = 729
Explicit rule: an = 3·3^(n-1) = 3^n
Recursive rule: a[1] = 3; a[n] = 3·a[n-1]
__
6. First term is a₁ = 7; common ratio is r = 28/7 = 4.
Next term: 448×4 = 1792
Explicit rule: an = 7·4^(n-1)
Recursive rule: a[1] = 7; a[n] = 4·a[n-1]

2x2 + -8x + -90 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0
Solving
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-45 + -4x + x2) = 0
Factor a trinomial.
2((-5 + -1x)(9 + -1x)) = 0
Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1:
Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-5 + -1x = 0
Solving
-5 + -1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms:
-5 + 5 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + 5
-1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms:
0 + 5 = 5
-1x = 5
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -5
Simplifying
x = -5
Subproblem 2:
Set the factor '(9 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
9 + -1x = 0
Solving
9 + -1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -1x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms:
9 + -9 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -9
-1x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms:
0 + -9 = -9
-1x = -9
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 9
Simplifying
x = 9
Solution
x = {-5, 9}</span>
Answer:
After simplifying, the exponent of x is 33 and the exponent of y is 0
Step-by-step explanation:
For us to simplify, we bring the x base together and the y base together
Recall from the law of indices;
x^a/x^b = x^(a-b)
and x^a * x^b = x^(a + b)
We shall be applying these here
Let us bring the x terms together
we have these as;
x^8/x^14 * 1/x^-39 = x^( 8 - 14 -(-39))
= x^(8 + 39-14) = x^33
for y, we have it that;
y^-26/y^-5 * 1/y^-21
= y^(-26 -(-5) - (-21)
= y^-26 + 5 + 21 = y^0
The common ratio is the multiplication of 2 each time. 5x2= 10// 10x2=20// 20x2=40
Answer:
2 feet and 33 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
You just divide by 12 since
12 inches = 1 foot
