1.8 minus 3.7 x = negative 4.2 x + 0.3?

1 answer:

6 0

Combine like terms. First, add 4.2x to both sides. This results in 1.8+0.5x = 0.3, and then 0.5x = 0.3-1.8.

Next, 0.05x = -1.5, or 5x = -150, and x = -30.

Must check this result by substitution of -30 for x in the original equation.

Is 1.8-3.7(-30)=-4.2(-30)+0.3 true or false?

Write the explicit formula that represents the geometric sequence-2, 8, -32, 128

maks197457 [2]

Well, since we know is a geometric sequence, we can always get the common ratio of it by simply dividing one value by the one behind it... so let's do so, with say hmm -32 and 8 -32/8 = -4 <-- our common ratio

the first term is -2

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=-2\\
r=-4
\end{cases}\implies a_n=-2(-4)^{n-1}$

Runners in a long distance race start out going 6 kilometers east and then head north for the remainder of the race. The finish

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

alright lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

the runner traveled, six kilometers east.

Next, they turn to north and suppose they run x kilometers.

The starting and the ending points distance is 10 kilometers.

There will be a right triangle formed, we can find the value of x by using Pythagorean theorem.
