Answer:
- using the rule given: 2.5
- using an exponential rule: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluating the linear rule given, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)(1) -1 = 7/2 -1 = 5/2 = 2.5
_____
We suspect you may intend the exponential function ...
an = 7(1/2)^(n-1)
Then, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)^(1 -1) = 7(1) = 7 . . . . the first term is 7
_____
When writing an exponential expression in plain text, it requires the exponential operator, a caret (^). If the exponent contains any arithmetic, as this one does, it must be enclosed in parentheses.
- Zero Product Property: if a × b = 0, then either a or b = 0 or both a and b = 0.
(Make sure to set f(x) to zero)
So for this equation, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -5x^2 and a sum of 4x? That would be 5x and -x. Replace 4x with 5x - x:
Next, factor 5x^2 + 5x and -x - 1 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside:
Now you can rewrite the equation as:
Now apply zero product property to the factors to solve for x:
<u>The x-intercepts are (1/5 ,0) and (-1,0).</u>
Answer:
vertical angles and complementary
Answer:
7 and 6 respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we have to solve the equations simultaneously.
2x + 7p = 56
3x - 11p = -45
Multiply equation I by 3 and ii by 2
6x +21p = 168
6x - 22p = -90
Subtract the second from first to yield:
43p = 258
p = 6
Insert this in equation 1 where we have 2x + 7p = 56
2x + 7(6) =56
2x + 42 = 56
2x = 14 and x = 7
The equilibrium price is 6 and the equilibrium quantity is 7
