Answer:
x = {-1/5, 1}
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x - 2)² - 1 = 8
Add 1 to both sides
(5x - 2)² = 9
Take the square root of both sides
5x - 2 = ±3
------------------------------
<u>Solution I</u> for 5x - 2 = +3
5x - 2 = 3
add 2 to both sides
5x = 5
Divide both sides by 5
x = 1
------------------------------
<u>Solution II</u> for 5x - 2 = -3
5x - 2 = -3
add 2 to both sides
5x = -1
Divide both sides by 5
x = -1/5
-------------------------------
x = {-1/5, 1}
Answer:
6, 2, 2/3, 2/9, 2/27, 2/81
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as;
Tn = ar^n-1
a is the first term
n is the number of terms
r is the common ratio
Given
a = 6
r = 1/3
when n = 1
T1 = 6(1/3)^1-1
T1 = 6(1/3)^0
T1 = 6
when n = 2
T2= 6(1/3)^2-1
T2= 6(1/3)^1
T2 = 2
when n = 3
T3 = 6(1/3)^3-1
T3= 6(1/3)^2
T3= 6 * 1/9
T3 = 2/3
when n = 4
T4 = 6(1/3)^4-1
T4= 6(1/3)^3
T4= 6 * 1/27
T4 = 2/9
when n = 5
T5 = 6(1/3)^5-1
T5= 6(1/3)^4
T5= 6 * 1/81
T5 = 2/27
when n = 6
T6 = 6(1/3)^6-1
T6= 6(1/3)^5
T6= 6 * 1/243
T6 = 2/81
Hence the first six terms are 6, 2, 2/3, 2/9, 2/27, 2/81
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Domain of the function 3x + 2y = 8 are the possible set of x-values represented as {-2, 0, 2, 4}.
To know which graph represents the above given function, find the range values of the function by plugging in each value of x into the equation, to find y.
For x = -2,
3(-2) + 2y = 8
-6 + 2y = 8
2y = 8 + 6
2y = 14
y = 14/2
y = 7
(-2, 7)
For x = 0,
3(0) + 2y = 8
0 + 2y = 8
2y = 8
y = 8/2
y = 4
(0, 4)
For x = 2,
3(2) + 2y = 8
6 + 2y = 8
2y = 8 - 6
2y = 2
y = 2/2
y = 1
(2, 1)
For x = 4,
3(4) + 2y = 8
12 + 2y = 8
2y = 8 - 12
2y = -4
y = -4/2
y = -2
(4, -2)
The graph which shows the following set of coordinates pairs calculated above, ((-2, 7), (0, 4), (2, 1), (4, -2)), is the graph of the function 3x + 2y = 8.
Thus, the graph in option D the shows the following calculated coordinate pairs. Therefore, graph D is the answer.
