Answer:

An explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence:

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

It means, option (B) should be true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

-\frac{1}{2},\:-2,\:-8,\:-32,...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio, denoted by 'r', and is defined by

f_n=f_1\cdot r^{n-1}

Determining the common ratios of all the adjacent terms

\frac{-2}{-\frac{1}{2}}=4,\:\quad \frac{-8}{-2}=4,\:\quad \frac{-32}{-8}=4

As the ratio is the same, so

r = 4

Given that f₁ = -1/2

substituting r = 4, and f₁ = -1/2 in the nth term

f_n=f_1\cdot r^{n-1}

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

Thus, an explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence:

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

It means, option (B) should be true.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording in the problem statement is ...

... "less than 3 years"

... "at least 3. but less than 6 years"

so we expect the inequality symbols to look like ...

... 0 ≤ x < 3

... 3 ≤ x < 6

These match <em>the second piecewise function</em>.

Determine if the equation is linear. If so, graph the function.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The equation is not linear

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the equation

\dfrac{2}{x}+\dfrac{y}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}

Express y in terms of x:

\dfrac{y}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}-\dfrac{2}{x}\\ \\\dfrac{y}{4}=\dfrac{3x-4}{2x}\\ \\y=4\cdot \dfrac{3x-4}{2x}\\ \\y=\dfrac{6x-8}{x}

The linear function must of form

y=mx+b,

where m and b are real numbers.

Your function is not of this form, so this is not a linear function.

suppose that a number written as a decimal has an infinite number of non- repeating digits after the decimal point. What is this
faltersainse [42]

Answer: Irrational number

If the decimal digits repeat forever, then the repeating decimal is considered rational.

For instance, 2/99 = 0.020202020202... where the "02" repeats forever

If we don't have such a pattern, then we cannot write the decimal as a fraction of two integers and the number is not rational. So it is irrational.

Alright, so we plug (-2) in for x. (-2)^2 =4, and we can plug that in as 4(4)+(-2)+5. Next, 4*4=16, so we get 15+(-2)+5. After that, we get 15-2+5=18

The seventh grade choir sold pizzas as a fundraiser. The choir teacher created the graph below for the students.
frez [133]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find the profit for every pizza sold. Since looking at the x axis, the point in which its x coordinate is 1 cannot be easily identified. Thus, we shall derive the answer using a point that can be easily identified.

We observe that the two points, (10,12) and (20,24) sits nicely on the graph. I will be using the first coordinate above to derive the answer.

For every 10 pizzas sold, $12 of profit is made.

10 pizzas ----- $12 profit

1 pizza ----- $12 ÷10= $1.20

Hence, the unit rate of profit for the pizzas is $1.20 per pizza.
