Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a quadratic equation meaning it has 2 factors and since one of it has root -5, the first factor is (n + 5),

So, we have (n + 5)(n + a) = n^2 + an + 5n + 5a

Thus, by comparison,

n^2 + (5 + a)n + 5a = n^2 - 8n - 65 = 0

5 + a = -8

5a = -65

a = -13

Thus, the other factor is (n -13) and root is 13

Divide the figure into a triangle on the left and a rectangle on the right. You know the side lengths of the rectangle are 3 x 10, so multiply to get the area of the rectangle. Next, find the area of the triangle. The area of a triangle is given by 1/2bh, where b is the base and h is the height. Because you know the short side of the rectangle is 3, subtract 3 from 5 to get the base of the triangle. then multiply that by 10, the height, and divide by 2 to get the area of the triangle. Then just add up the area of the triangle and the area of the rectangle to get your answer :)

What are the explicit equation and domain for a geometric sequence with a first term of 2 and a second term of −8?

Alexxx [7]

The common ratio in a geometric sequence is the ratio between 2 consecutive terms:

-8/2=-4,

then the sequence is 2, -8, 32, -128, -512, 2048, ...

let $a_n$ be the nth term of the sequence, then

$a_1= 2$
$a_2=2(-4)$
$a_3=2(-4)(-4)=2(-4)^{2}$
$a_4=2(-4)(-4)(-4)=2(-4)^{3}$
.
.
.
so clearly $a_n=2(-4)^{n-1}$

and, clearly n are integers >0, since we have a 1st term, a second term and so on... of a sequence (we do not have a "zero'th term"!

Answer:

<span>C. an=2(-4)^n-1; all integers where n>0</span>
