Mathematics

Answer:

a) 3x - 11

b) 10x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The negative sign before the (x+5) means to subtract those values. Reverse the signs. Then combine like terms:

4x –6 –x –5. 4x–x–6–5

3x –11

b) Put all the x terms together.

Put all the integers together.

Add. Adding a negative is the same as subtracting.

4x+x+5x = 10x

+6-2 = 4

Combine them:

10x + 4

What term is 1/1024 in the geometric sequence,-1,1/4,-1/6..?
Trava [24]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\text{sixth term is equal to}\ \dfrac{1}{1024}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence:

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

a_n - n-th term

a_1 - first term

r - common ratio

r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=...=\dfrac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}

We have

a_1=-1,\ a_2=\dfrac{1}{4},\ a_3=-\dfrac{1}{6},\ ...

The common ratio:

r=\dfrac{\frac{1}{4}}{-1}=-\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\r=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{4}}=-\dfrac{1}{6}\cdot\dfrac{4}{1}=-\dfrac{2}{3}\neq-\dfrac{1}{4}

<h2>It's not a geometric sequence.</h2>

If a_3=-\dfrac{1}{16} then the common ratio is r=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{16}}{\frac{1}{4}}=-\dfrac{1}{16}\cdot\dfrac{4}{1}=-\dfrac{1}{4}

Put to the explicit formula:

a_n=-1\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}

Put a_n=\dfrac{1}{1024} and solve for <em>n </em>:

-1\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}=\dfrac{1}{1024}\qquad\text{use}\ a^n:a^m=a^{n-m}\\\\-\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n:\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^1=\dfrac{1}{1024}\\\\-\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n\cdot(-4)=\dfrac{1}{1024}\\\\(4)\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n=\dfrac{1}{1024}\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\ \text{/multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{1}{4}/\\\\\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n=\dfrac{1}{4096}\\\\\dfrac{(-1)^n}{4^n}=\dfrac{1}{4^6}\qquad n\ \text{must be even number. Therefore}\ (-1)^n=1

\dfrac{1}{4^n}=\dfrac{1}{4^6}\iff n=6
