Remark
The closest answer is D, but the answer has to be rewritten: f(x) = - 2/3 (6)^(x - 1) where x is 1,2,3,4,5,6 .... to plus infinity. If that is not what you are given, there is no answer.
Discussion
The minus sign is misplaced. There are 2 reasons.
1. When x is odd, then the minus sign is not there and every other term will be plus.
2. For a related reason, you cannot get a minus 2/3 if the sign is affected by the power. The first term must be -2/3. (-6)^0 power is 1 not -1
Answer: There is no answer, but you could try C if D does not work.
Answer:
1200 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
How much of an alloy that is 10% copper should be mixed with 600 ounce of an alloy that is 70%copper in order to get an alloy that is 30%copper?
Let us represent
Number of ounce of 10% copper = x
Hence, our Equation =
x × 10% + 600 × 70% = (x + 600) × 30%
0.1x + 420 = (x + 600)0.3
0.1x + 420 = 0.3x + 180
Collect like terms
0.3x - 0.1x = 420 - 180
0.2x = 240
x = 240/0.2
x = 1200 ounces
Answer:
x = 109
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure has one pair of parallel sides and is a trapezoid.
The lower base angle is supplementary to the upper base angle on the same side, thus
x + x - 38 = 180 , that is
2x - 38 = 180 ( add 38 to both sides )
2x = 218 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 109
4(q-10)=76
because the number of questions minus the ten he got wrong times four for each point
