Answer:

The 8th term of the sequence is 896/2187.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the 8th term of a geometric sequence whose common ratio is 2/3 and whose first term is 7.

We can write a direct formula. Recall that the direct formula of a geometric sequence is given by:

\displaystyle x_{n} = a\left(r\right)^{n-1}

Where <em>a</em> is the initial term and <em>r</em> is the common ratio.

Substitute:

\displaystyle x_{n} = 7\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{n-1}

To find the 8th term, let <em>n</em> = 8. Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} x_{8} &= 7\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{(8) - 1} \\ \\ &= 7\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{7} \\ \\ &= 7\left(\frac{128}{2187}\right) \\ \\ &= \frac{896}{2187} = 0.4096...\end{aligned}

In conclusion, the 8th term of the sequence is 896/2187.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

y=\frac{1}{3}x+4

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Slope-intercept form:

What the variables mean:

Y=the y axis

m=the slope

x=the x-axis

b=the y intercept (the point on the line that crosses the y-axis)

To Calculate the Slope:

1. Find any 2 points on the line

2. The number of units the second point is above the first is the numerator

3. The number of units the second point is to the right of the first is a denominator

(Please see the picture attached)

y=\frac{1}{3}x+b

To Find the Y-Intercept:

1. Find the point on the line that crosses the y-axis

(Please see the picture attached)

y=\frac{1}{3}x+4

What’s Distribute -x(5x+2)
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

-5x^2-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

When distributing, you multiply the term outside the brackets to all the terms in brackets.

If the term outside the bracket is negative, then when distributing/opening the brackets, the signs of the terms changes.

So in this prob. -x would multiply to both +5x and +2

-x*5x+-x*2

∴-5x^2-2x
