THE ANSWER IS THE SECOND AND THIRD CHOICE.
Answer:
-4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
r=x/2
a=2x
ar²=-1/16
x^3=-1/8
x=-1/2
sn=a/1-r
=-4/5
Answer:
The simplified form is: 
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify the expression given we, need to open the brackets, and if there is power term. Then we need to group all the like terms and then arrange in the descending order of powers of the given expression.
Now the expression that is given to us is:
Here we will simplify it by grouping the like terms, as follows:
So this is the required simplified form.
Rates like $ per channel is a slope, "m". The added fee is a constant so it's the intercept "b".
y = mx + b
So for the first problem (9)
(a)
y = total cost in dollars
x = number of premium channels
y = 16x + 44
(b) when x = 3 channels
y = 16(3) + 44
y = 92 $
the second problem (10)
(a) every 4 years the tree grows by 12-9=3 ft
So the unit rate or slope will be 3 ft per 4 yrs, (3/4). You can see this also by solving for slope "m" using the given points (4,9) and (8,12).
x = number of years
y = height of tree in ft
y = (3/4)x + b
use one of the points to find the y-intercept "b".
9 = (3/4)(4) + b
9 = 3 + b
9 - 3 = b
6 = b
y = (3/4)x + 6
(b) when x = 16
y = (3/4)(16) + 6
y = 12 + 6
y = 18 ft
