15. 3x - 2y = -2
3x - 3x - 2y = -3x - 2
-2y = -3x - 2
-2 -2
y = 1.5x + 1
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 3 = ⁻²/₃(x - (-2))
y - 3 = ⁻²/₃(x + 2)
y - 3 = ²/₃(x) - ²/₃(2)
y - 3 = ⁻²/₃x - 1¹/₃
+ 3 + 3
y = ⁻²/₃x + 1²/₃
16. 230 = 0.2s + 150
- 150 - 150
80 = 0.2s
0.2 0.2
400 = s
17. y = 2x + 2
Answer:
We conclude that the sequence 2, -4, -16, -36,... is not a geometric sequence.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sequence
2, -4, -16, -36,...
- A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r'.
Let us compute the ratio of all the adjacent terms

It is clear that the ratio is not constant.
Thus, the given sequence is not a geometric sequence.
Therefore, we conclude that the sequence 2, -4, -16, -36,... is not a geometric sequence.
Answer:
x=1/2, x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2-11x+5=0
Factor them
(x-0.5)(x-5)
x=0.5 or 1/2
x=5
