Given:

The sequence is:

2, 6, 10, 15,...

To find:

Whether the given sequence is Arithmetic, Geometric, Neither.

Solution:

We have,

2, 6, 10, 15,...

Different between consecutive terms are:

$6-2=4$

$10-6=4$

$15-10=5$

Since $4\neq 5$ , therefore the given sequence has no common difference. It means it is not an arithmetic sequence.

Ratio of consecutive terms are:

$\dfrac{6}{2}=3$

$\dfrac{10}{6}=\dfrac{5}{3}$

Since $3\neq \dfrac{5}{3}$ , therefore the given sequence has no common ratio. It means it is not a geometric sequence.

Since the given sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric, therefore the correct option is C.

$6 + 2^1 = 8$ is the expression that includes an exponent and has a value of 8

Solution:

Given that, Use the number 8, 6, and 2 and one operation to write an expression that includes an exponent and has a value of 8

We have to use each number only once

Given numbers are 8, 6, 2

Our expression should include exponent and the result should be 8

Among 6 and 2 we can use 2 for exponent

Raise 2 to power of 1

The expression becomes:

$6 + 2^1 = 8$

Here we have used one operation, that is addition

Verifying the expression

$6 + 2^1 = 6 + 2 = 8$

Thus the required expression is found

Answer:

The y-intercept is 40. This is the cost of registration ⇒ last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Patrick wanted to gather data about the cost of joining a community

pool in his area

- He plotted the data and determined that the average community

pool membership cost consists of a one-time registration fee and

a monthly fee

∴ The cost consists of two parts:

# Part A: one-time registration fee, it is a fixed amount not depend on

any other condition

# Part B: monthly fee, it depends on the number of months

- He modeled that by the equation y = 15 x + 40, where

# y is the cost for the membership

# 15 is the monthly fee

# x is the number of months

# 40 is the one-time registration

- The form of the equation is y = mx + c, where c is the y-intercept

∴ The y-intercept in the equation y = 15 x + 40 is 40

∴ The y-intercept is the one-time registration fee

* The y-intercept is 40. This is the cost of registration

Identify two methods a person can use to pay their bills online. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of both methods.

jek_recluse [69]

1) You can pay your bills online using your debit, credit card, or an electronic check. Advantage: you pay when you want and when you are sure you have money in the bank. Disadvantage: you have to remember to pay the bills by the due date.

2) You can set up automatic withdrawal from your bank account to pay your bills. Advantage: once you set it up, you do not have to remember to pay the monthly bills. Disadvantage: if you do not check your checking account balance to be sure there is enough money to cover the bills, your account may go negative.

Hope this helps! :)

Solve the equation. Round to the nearest thousandth. -12e-x + 8 = 7

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

-12e-x + 8 = 7

-12e-x = 7-8

-12e-x = -1

12e-x = 1

e-x = 1/12

ln(e-x) = ln(1/12)

x = -ln(1/12)

x = -2.485
