Answer:
No solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 7
-2x - y = 6
From the first equation:
y = 7 - 2x
Plug this into the second equation:
-2x - (7 - 2x) = 6
-2x + 2x = 6 + 7
0 = 13
this doesn't make sense so theer is:
No solution.
Reminder: the formula for a geom. seq. is
a(n) = a(1)*r^(n-1), where a(1) is the first term, n is the counter and r is the common ratio.
I first noted that 243 is a power of 3; specifically, 243=3^5, or 243=3(3)^4, or 243=(3^2)(3)^(4-1). Notice that I'm trying here to rewrite 243=3^5 in the form a(n) = a(1)*r^(n-1): a(4) = a(1)(3)^(4-1), or a(4) = a(1)(3)^3 = 243. Then by division we find that a(1) = 243/27 = 9. Is it possible that a(1)=9?
Let's try out our formula a(n)=9(3)^(n-1). Steal n=9 and see whether this formula gives u s 59049:
n(9) = 59049 = 9(3)^(9-1), or 9(3)^8. True or false? 3^8= 6561, and 9(3)^8 = 59049.
YES! That's correct.
Therefore, the desired formula is
a(n) = 9(3)^(n-1). The first term, a(1) is 9(3)^(1-1) = 9(3)^0 = 9*1 = 9.
Answer:
There are about 3.281 * 3.281 = 10.764 square feet in one square meter. Therefore, 22.5 square feet is 22.5 / 10.764 = 2.09 square meters.
Answer:
1. d 2. a 3. d 4. a 5. a
Step-by-step explanation:
For 1, d is negative because, if there an even number of negatives, the answer will be positive. a. would have been correct, but you multiply that one by 0. 0 is not negative, so the answer has to be d.
2. is -21. You can multiply 3 times seven then make it negative, or simply add -7 together 3 times.
3. is d because the two negatives cancel each other out. Even numbers of negatives cancel each other out. therefore, 17 times 6 is 102.
4. -120 is the answer because there are 3 negatives. That is an odd number, so we know our answer is negative. -5 times -3 is 15, and 15 times -8 is -120.
5. is a because -1 times 4 is -4, then -4 times -9 is 36. 36 times -3 is then -108.
