Answer:
? = 4
4 is the number missing on the right.
Step-by-step explanation:
Check out the 8 on left. It has become a 2 on the right. How did that happen?
What do you have to multiply the 2 by to get 8?
Before I answer, check out the 9 on the right. What did you have to multiply it by to get 36? The answer to that is 4 isn't it?
What about the 2. Don't you have to multiply it by 4 to get 8?
36 + 8 = 4(9 + 2) The distributive property on the right will produce the numbers on the left.
So ? = 4
It will equal
x(5)(6)=30x
3/5 or 60% of the tank will be filled in an hour.
Sequence: -4, 8, -16
rate of increase: -16/8 = -2
If you make A1 the first term in the sequence you must use (n-1) in the explicit formula. If you go backwards in the sequence to find A0 = 2 then you would use n.
The don't have A0 = 2 listed as an option so we use A1 = -4 and (n-1) terms.
An = -4(-2)^(n-1)
Solving for the 5th term A5, use n = 5
A5 = -4(-2)^(5-1)
A5 = -4(16)
A5 = -64
So the answer is B.
