Temka [501]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

This is a geometry sequence (I.e each term is found by multiplying the same value to the previous term).

T1 = 4

T2 = -12 = T1 X (-3) = 4 X (-3)

T3 = 36 = T2 X (-3) = 4 X (-3)^2

T4 = 108 = T3 X (-3) = 4 X (-3)^3

The general (explicit) formula for the n-th term of this sequence is:

S(n) = 4 X (-3)^(n-1)

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

It is easiest to compare the equations when they are written in the same form.

The first set can be written in slope-intercept form.

  y = 2x +7

  y = 2x +7 . . . . add 2x

These equations are <em>identical</em>, so have infinitely many solutions.

__

The second set can be written in standard form.

  y +4x = -5

  y +4x = -10

These equations <em>differ only in their constant</em>, so have no solutions.

__

The third set is already written in slope-intercept form. The equations have <em>different slopes</em>, so have exactly one solution.

Two and two fifths divided by one and a half
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

8/5 or 1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 = 12/5

1 1/2 = 3/2

Now that we have fractions that are easier to divide, one must understand that the opposite of dividing is multiplying. So if you multiply 12/5 by the reciprocal* of 3/2, which would be 2/3, you would get your answer so...

12     3         12    2        24     8             3

—  ÷ —   =   — × —    =  —  = —   <em>or</em>  1  —

5       2         5     3        15      5             5

*the reciprocal is the opposite of the fraction you have. So the denominator would become the numerator, and vise versa.
