Answer:

1a. multiplication property of equality

1b. distributive property

1c. subtraction property of equality

1d. division property of equality

2a. distributive property

2b. addition property of equality

2c. division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The properties that let you do the same thing to both sides of an equation are the properties of equality. These are usually given an additional qualifier according to the operation being performed: addition property ..., subtraction property ..., multiplication property ..., division property .... The property that lets you add or eliminate parentheses is the distributive property (of multiplication over addition).

To answer these questions, you need to compare each line to the previous to see what operation was performed. It will generally be use of one of the properties described above, or "simplification," in which like terms are combined.

1a. both sides are multiplied by 3: multiplication property of equality

1b. parentheses are eliminated: distributive property

1c. 18 is subtracted from both sides: subtraction property of equality

1d. both sides are divided by 2: division property of equality

2a. parentheses are eliminated: distributive property

2b. 24 is added to both sides: addition property of equality

2c. both sides are divided by 2: division property of equality

Find f(x) and g(x) so that the function can be described as y = f(g(x)). y = 3/ square root of 3x + 4

Elis [28]

Well, your equation y=3/SQRT(3x+4) should be rationalized, but that's not what you want.

If f(x) = 3/SQRT(x+4) and g(x) = 3x

f(g(x)) then = 3/SQRT(3x+4), but rationalizing this = 3SQRT(3x+4)/(3x+4)

Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence. 6, −18, 54, −162, ...

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The required recursive formula is:

$a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a geometric sequence as:

6,-18,54,-162,.....

Clearly after looking at different terms of the sequence we could observe that the sequence is an geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio= -3 denoted by r.

Let $a_n$ represents the nth term of the sequence.

This means that:

$a_1=6, a_2=-18, a_3=54, a_4=-162,......$

As the common ratio is -3.

so,

$a_1=6\\\\a_2=-18=(-3)\times a_1\\\\a_3=54=(-3)\times a_2\\\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Hence, the required recursive formula for the geometric sequence is:

$a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$
