Answer: -3 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

When both integers are negative, you can treat them the same as positive numbers and add a negative sign to your final sum.

1+2 2/5 (or 2 4/10 or 2.4) is equal to 3 2/5. So (-1)+ (-2 2/5) is equal to -3 2/5, or -3.4.

What value of y satisfies the system of equations: y=-6x+2 y=x^2+11

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The value of y that satisfies the system of equations is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=-6x+2$

$y=x^{2}+11$

we know that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

the intersection point is (-3,20)

see the attached figure

therefore

The value of y that satisfies the system of equations is 20

The formula for any geometric sequence is an = a1 · rn - 1, where an represents the value of the nth term, a1 represents the val

kati45 [8]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{a_n=1\cdot(-2)^{n-1}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

We have the geometric sequence: 1, -2, 4, -8, ...

Find the common ratio:

$r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=...=\dfrac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}$

$a_1=1,\ a_2=-2$

substitute:

$r=\dfrac{-2}{1}=-2$

Substitute

$a_1=1;\ r=-1$

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

$a_n=1\cdot(-2)^{n-1}$
