Step-by-step explanation:

when we get the common ratio that must be equal

r=6/2=18/6=54/18=3 equal

So it is geometric

By using this equation:

a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)

and we have a(1)=2 , r=3

Explicit rule: a(n)=2*(3)^(n-1)

hope this helps

Answer:

y=17/2 and x=15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

By subsitution, we get 4x+4x+1=16, so 8x=15. Thus, x=15/8. Next, we plug x in to find y. y=4*15/8 +1, or 15/2 +1 = 17/2

Solve the system of equations : y = x/2 , y = -x - 3 . You can use any method you wish for solving systems of equations. Check y

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

x=−2 and y=−1

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem:

Solve y=x2;y=−x−3

Steps:

I will solve your system by substitution.

y=1/2x;y=−x−3

Step: Solve y= 1/2x for y:

Step: Substitute 1/2 x for y in y=−x−3:

y=−x−3

1/2x= =−x−3

1/2x+x=−x−3+x(Add x to both sides)

3/2x = -3

3/2x/3/2 = -3/3/2 (Divide both sides by 3/2)

x=−2

Step: Substitute −2 for x in y=1/2x:

y=1/2x

y=1/2(-2)

y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=−2 and y=−1

PLEASE HELP I NEED THIS ASAP Find the vertex of y=x^2-7x+4

Goshia [24]

Answer:

$\mathrm{Minimum}\space\left(\frac{7}{2},\:-\frac{33}{4}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=x^2-7x+4\\\mathrm{The\:vertex\:of\:an\:up-down\:facing\:parabola\:of\:the\:form}\:y=ax^2+bx+c\:\mathrm{is}\:x_v=-\frac{b}{2a}\\\mathrm{The\:parabola\:params\:are:}\\a=1,\:b=-7,\:c=4\\x_v=-\frac{b}{2a}\\x_v=-\frac{\left(-7\right)}{2\cdot \:1}\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\x_v=\frac{7}{2}\\\mathrm{Plug\:in}\:\:x_v=\frac{7}{2}\:\mathrm{to\:find\:the}\:y_v\:\mathrm{value}\\y_v=\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)^2-7\cdot \frac{7}{2}+4\\$

$\mathrm{Simplify\:}\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)^2-7\cdot \frac{7}{2}+4:\quad -\frac{33}{4}\\y_v=-\frac{33}{4}\\Therefore\:the\:parabola\:vertex\:is\\\left(\frac{7}{2},\:-\frac{33}{4}\right)\\\mathrm{If}\:a0,\:\mathrm{then\:the\:vertex\:is\:a\:minimum\:value}\\a=1\\\mathrm{Minimum}\space\left(\frac{7}{2},\:-\frac{33}{4}\right)$
