Answer:

Sally is not right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two sequences which have their respective n^{th} terms as following:

Sequence A. 3n - 2

Sequence B. 10 - 2n

As per Sally, there exists only one number which is in both the sequences.

To find:

Whether Sally is correct or not.

Solution:

For Sally to be correct, we need to put the n^{th} terms of the respective sequences as equal and let us verify that.

3n-2=10-2n\\\Rightarrow 3n+2n=10+2\\\Rightarrow 5n=12\\\Rightarrow n = \dfrac{12}{5}

When we talk about n^{th} terms, n here is a whole number not a fractional number.

But as per the statement as stated by Sally n is a fractional number, only then the two sequences can have a number which is in the both sequences.

Therefore, no number can be in both the sequences A and B.

Hence, Sally is not right.

right triangle ABC is shown below. A similar right triangle would be created by a run of 4 and rise of______
Svetllana [295]

The rise would have to be 12.

This is because in order to be "Similar" triangles the sides need to be proportionate.

(1/3 = 4/12)

Simplify the expression.<br><br><br> Write your answer without negative exponents.
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

-5/ (x^19 * y^12)

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x^-10 * y ^ -3 * x^-9 * y^-9/3 (It's writing it like this.)

15 and 3 have a GCF of 3.

-5x^-10 * y^-3 * x^-9 * y^-9/1

Reduce similar occurrences. *twice in a row*

-5x^(-10 + (-9)) * y^(-3 + (-9))/1

Remove extra signs *twice in a row*

-5x^(-10 - 9) * y^(-3 - 9)/1

Remove extraneous 1.

-5x^(-10 - 9) * y^(-3 - 9)

Add integers.

-5x^-19 * y^-12

Negative powers change multiplication to division.

-5 / (x^19 * y^12) is the final answer.

Even with that, the simplified answer wouldn't have negative exponents because of the negative powers rule.

Slope-intercept you have right:
y=3/4x-7

Point slope form is:
y − y1 = m(x − x1)

so

y +7 = 3/4(x -0)

or

y + 7 = 3/4x
