This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by
2

Step-by-step explanation:
A relationahip is proportional if both variables can be both 0.
y = 0.5x
(0) = 0.5(0)
Since the equality is true, it is proportional.
To graph the function, plot (0, 0) and (10, 5) on the graph and draw a line through the points.
we are given
Firstly, we will find all possible factors of 144
we can also write as
now, we can put exponent to over entire term
now, we can replace 144
now, sqrt will get cancelled with square
and we get
now, we can simplify it

Answer:
A. is incorrect. He has to divide 76 by 19, instead of subtracting 19 to 76.
B. This equation has one solution. v=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, Martin’s answer is incorrect.
A. He has to divide 76 by 19, instead of subtract 19 to 76.
The correct steps are:
19v = 76
Since 19 is multiplying the variable, to eliminate it we have to divide by 19.
v = 76/19
v = 4
B. This equation has one solution. It’s v=4
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
Expressed in scientific notation the answer would be 3.05 X 10^6
