Y=5x-4 is linear
y=x/3 is linear
y=x^3+1/3 is non linear
Basically linear means it is a straight line when graphed. So anything with exponts is non linear by default among some other rules for determining linear or nonlinear Hope this helps! Please rate my answer and help me also! Thank YOU!!!!!:)
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
Upon asking I got the rest of the information needed to answer this question.
-> Which one becomes a repeating decimal?
Your answer is D. 1/9.
1/9 = 0.111111111111111111111111111111111 ... or 0.1 repeating. It can be written with a line over the 1 asyou can see in the attached.
This means that D is the answer to your question.
It will be as I understand:
(x*y)=x
<span>
or (x*y)=y</span>
