Answer:

-1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Better to write this as

a(n)= -5(1/2)^(n-1)

Then the 3rd term is a(3) = -5(1/2)^(3 - 1), or  a(3) = -5(1/2)^2  = -5/4 = -1.25

MrRissso [65]
The correct answer is Choice A.

This is an example of an exponential equation, so we need the formula y=ab^x.

The a value is the starting value of 100. The b value must be a decimal lower than 1 because it is decreases.

If you substitute in 8 for x, you will see that the output is about 50 (half of 100).

Given the points (3, 2) and (6, 4), which of the following are true about the line passing through these points? The line has a
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The slope is 2/3 and the function is y=2/3x  which is a direct variation function.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line between two points, we use the equation

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points

m= (4-2)/(6-3)

  = 2/3

The slope of the line is 2/3

The equation of the line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-2 = 2/3(x-3)

Distribute

y-2 = 2/3x -2

Add 2 to each side

y-2+2 = 2/3x -2+2

y = 2/3x

This is a direct variation function

Let x = -6

y = 2/3(-6)

y = -4

(-6,-4)
