A
this is a geometric sequence since there exists a common ratio r between the terms
r = 
= 
= 
= 3
B
to obtain the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by 3
= 3 
← recursive rule
C
the n th term of a geometric sequence is
= 
where is the first term in the sequence
= 7 × 
← explicit rule
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
I used a calculator to solve
Answer:
5^2 means 5*5 not 5*2
Step-by-step explanation:
No because it has to be a even number to be divisible by 2 and same goes with 5 something has to x the 2 with the number like 2/4=2 because 2x2 is 4
<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
>> -3 (3 - x) = 2x + 5
>> -3 × (3 - x) = 2x + 5
>> -9 + 3x = 2x + 5
>> 3x - 2x = 9 + 5
>> x = 14
<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
>> -6 - 9p = 3p
>> -9p - 3p = 6
>> -12p = 6
>> p = -1/2
<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
>> -5 (-4 - a) = 3a + 8
>> -5 × (-4 - a) = 3a + 8
>> 20 + 5a = 3a + 8
>> 5a - 3a = 8 - 20
>> 2a = -12
>> a = -12 / 2
>> a = -6
<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
>> s - 6 = -5s
>> s + 5s = 6
>> 6s = 6
>> s = 6 / 6
>> s = 1
