Answer:
a₄ = - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the recursive formula and a₁ = 17 , then
a₂ = a₁ - 8 = 17 - 8 = 9
a₃ = a₂ - 8 = 9 - 8 = 1
a₃ = a₂ - 8 = 1 - 8 = - 7
a₄ = a₃ - 8 = - 7 - 8 = - 15
It's the reflexive property because it's just relating it to itself (def. of reflexive)
As we all know: A=A, B=B, mx=mx, nothing changes.
So the answer is D
Answer:
Every week, the radioactivity decreases by a factor of 5
After 1 week, it goes from 5,000 to 1,000
2 weeks 1,000 / 5 =200
3 weeks 200 / 5 = 40
4 weeks 40 / 5 = 8
5 weeks 8 / 5 = 1.6
6 weeks 1.6 / 5 = 0.064
7 weeks 0.064 / 5 = 0.0128
8 weeks .0128 / 5 = 0.00256
9 weeks 0.00256 / 5 = 0.000512
10 weeks 0.000512 / 5 = 0.0001024
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 3/2x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of the line
Step 1: find slope
( 2 , -2) ( 4 , 1)
x_1 = 2
y_1 = -2
x_2 = 4
y_2 = 1
Insert the values into
m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)
m = ( 1 - (-2) / (4 - 2)
= ( 1 + 2) / ( 4 -2 )
= 3 / 2
m = 3/2
Step 2: substitute m into the equation
y = mx + c
y = 3/2x + c
Step 3: substitute any of the two points into the equation
Let's pick (4 , 1)
x = 4
y = 1
y = 3/2x + c
1 = 3/2(4) + c
1 = 3*4/2 + c
1 = 12/2 + c
1 = 6 + c
1 - 6 = c
c = 1 - 6
c = -5
Step 4 : substitute c into the equation
y = 3/2x + c
y = 3/2x - 5
The equation of the line is
y = 3/2x - 5
