Answer:

a_1 = 7 \\ a_n =  - 2a_{n - 1} \\ a_2 =  - 2a_1 =  - 2(7) =  - 14 \\ a_3 =  - 2a_2 =  - 2( - 14) = 28 \\ a_4 =  - 2a_3 =  - 2(28) =  - 56 \\ a_5 =  - 2a_4 =  - 2( - 56) = 112

23. To complete the square you divide the x term by 2 and square it

(6/2)^2 = 9 so we have

(X+3)^2 = 2

then square root both side and get x by itself

x = √2 + 3

x = 4.41 , 1.585

A

24. x^2 - 4x = 1

Factor

X(x - 4) = 1

x = 4.23 and -.24

A

25. x^2 +3x = 4

factor

x(x + 3) = 4

solve

x =  -4 or 1

A

26. X^2 +5x = 10

Factor

x(x +5) = 10

solve

x = 1.53 and -6.53

A

A group of friends are going ice skating. The price of admission is $3.25. As a group, they spent $14 on refreshments. If they s
Liula [17]
Answer: 5 friends

Steps:
3.25x + 14 = 30.25
3.25x = 30.25 - 14
3.25x = 16.25
x = 16.25/3.25
x = 5

Check:
3.25x + 14 = 30.25
3.25(5) + 14 = 30.25
16.25 + 14 = 30.25
30.25 = 30.25 ✅

I would appreciate the brainliest if this was helpful had clear steps and was correct! :)

A line's y-intercept is -3, and its slope is 1/4 . What is its equation in slope-intercept form
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

x - 4y - 12 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, y-intercept(c) = -3

slope(m) = 1/4

Now,

Eqn of line in slope intercept form is y = mx + c

y = 1/4 * x - 3

4y = x - 12

x - 4y- 12 = 0 is req eqn

Prove that y=2x^2-6x+7 and y=x^2-2x+3 touch each other and find the point of contact
zepelin [54]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to prove they are equal.

Equate the values to each other.

  • 2x² - 6x + 7 = x² - 2x + 3
  • x² - 4x + 4 = 0
  • (x - 2)² = 0
  • <u>x = 2</u>

<u></u>

Now input the x-value in the 1st equation.

  • y = 2(2)² - 6(2) + 7
  • y = 8 - 12 + 7
  • y = -4 + 7
  • <u>y = 3</u>

<u></u>

Now input the same in the 2nd equation.

  • y = (2)² - 2(2) + 3
  • y = 4 - 4 + 3
  • <u>y = 3</u>

<u></u>

Since the same x-value, on inputting in both equations, give the same y-value, it is proved they <u>touch each other</u>.

<u>Point of Contact</u>

  • (x, y)
  • <u>(2, 3)</u>
