Answer:

an = 1/4(8)^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following in a geometric sequence, a2=2, a3=16, and a4=128.

nth term of a sequence = ar^n-1

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

r = a3/a2 = a4/a3

r = 16/2 = 128/16

r = 8

a2 = ar

2 = 8a

a = 2/8

a = 1/4

The nth term by substituting the parameters will be;

an = 1/4(8)^n-1

The graph of the quadratic function y=-x^2-2x+3 is shown below
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The axis of symmetry is at x=-1

The graph has an x-intercept at (1,0)

The graph has a vertex at (-1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=-x^{2}-2x+3

Statements

case 1) The graph has root at 3 and 1

The statement is False

Because, the roots of the quadratic equation are the values of x when the value of y is equal to zero (x-intercepts)

Observing the graph, the roots are at -3 and 1

case 2) The axis of symmetry is at x=-1

The statement is True

Observing the graph, the vertex is the point (-1,4)

The axis of symmetry in a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

the equation of the axis of symmetry is x=-1

case 3) The graph has an x-intercept at (1,0)

The statement is True

see procedure case 1)

case 4)  The graph has an y-intercept at (-3,0)

The statement is False

Because, the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

Observing the graph, the y-intercept is the point (0,3)

case 5) The graph has a relative minimum at (-1,4)

The statement is False

Because, is a vertical parabola open downward, therefore the vertex is a maximum

The point (-1,4) represent the vertex of the parabola, so is a maximum

case 6) The graph has a vertex at (-1,4)

The statement is True

see the procedure case 5)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Please help me A.S.A.P.
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

700 Dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression for solving this is I = prt

So lets start with P, that is our principal or amount of money we start with, and we want to multiply it by our rate, or r , which is 3.5, so we would do 5000 x 0.035 to get 175, then we multiply that by our time or t, which is 4 years, so 175 x 4 = 700 dollars :D

X = -2y + 300 3y = 800 - 4x
devlian [24]

Answer:

<h2>x = 140, y = 80</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=-2y+300&(1)\\3y=800-4x&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\3y=800-4(-2y+300)\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\3y=800+(-4)(-2y)+(-4)(300)\\\\3y=800+8y-1200\\\\3y=8y-400\qquad\text{subtract}\ 8y\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-5y=-400\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-5)}\\\\y=80\\\\\text{Put it to (1):}\\\\x=-2(80)+300\\\\x=-160+300\\\\x=140
