Answer:

a1 = 6 and an = an-1 - 5

a2 = a2-1 - 5 = a1 - 5 = 1

a3 = a3-1 - 5 = a2 - 5 = -4, etc

The graph shows the solution to which system of equations?

Sedaia [141]

So let's start by guesstimating the slopes:
the green line has a slope close to -x, but more negative than that, possibly -2; the pink line has a slope close to +x, but higher towards +2.

Next let's look at the solution: the two lines intersect at the point (1, -1).
**you could just simple plug that x (1) into all the equations, but let's rule out answers anyway. ;)

A) is incorrect because the slopes of -1 and +1 are off from out predicted -2 and +2
B) is incorrect because of a similar reason, the slopes of +3 and +1 don't make any sense
C) Ooh, we do have a +2 and -2 for the slopes, and... violà! plug in 1 for the x's and we get -1 for the y in both equations
D) slopes are closer than in A and B, but plugging in 1 doesn't get us -1

So the correct answer is:
C) y = 2x - 3 and y = −2x + 1

What is the greatest common factor of 44c^5, 22c^3 and 11c^4

Alexxandr [17]

$\text{ GCF of } 44c^5, 22c^3 , 11c^4 \text{ is } 11c^3$

Solution:

Given that, we have to find the greatest common factor of $44c^5, 22c^3 , 11c^4$

The greatest number that is a factor of two (or more) other numbers.

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor
