Step-by-step explanation:
The above sequence is a geometric sequence
For an nth term in a geometric sequence
where
n is the number of terms
a is the first term
r is the common ratio
From the question
a = 5
r = 10/5 = 2
Therefore the explicit formula for this sequence is
Hope this helps you
Answer:
x = 2, x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation y = 10 - 9x is a linear equation and the value of either y or x can be found by substituting the given values of either y or x.
given that y = -8, and substituting this into equation y = 10 - 9x,
we have, -8 = 10 - 9x
10 + 8 = 9x
9x = 18; dividing both sides by 9
x = 2
given that y = -26, and substituting this into equation y = 10 - 9x,
we have, -26 = 10 - 9x
10 + 26 = 9x
9x = 36; dividing both sides by 9
x = 4
