Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence dividing any term by the term before it yields the common multiplier.
Then x/(x+8) = (3x-8)/x
Solving for x: reduces to x^2-10x +16 factor into (x-2)(x-8)
Then x = 2 or 8
2 produces a sequence of -2, 2, -2 ...
8 produces a sequence of 4, 8, 16 ...
Answer:
Part A: That 6 pounds of rice costs $18
Part B: (1,3) represents the unit price
Part C: 4 pounds of rice, because $12/3 equals 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: The first point, 6, is on the amount of rice axis and the second point, 18, is on the total cost axis.
Part B: The unit price means the price for just 1 of something, so if you go to 1 pound of rice on the graph, you see it's at 3 on the total cost axis. Which means that 1 pound of rice costs $3.
Part C: From Part B you know that 1 pound of rice equals $3. So if you spend $12, then you can divide that by $3 to see how many pounds of rice you bought. 12/3 equals 4, so you bought 4 pounds of rice. Or you can count by 3's until you get to 12: 3, 6, 9, 12. That's 4 times so that means you bought 4 pounds of rice.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The second choice down is the one you want. I'm not sure why you're confused if you simply have to graph the 2 functions to see on your calculator where they intersect. Unless you don't know how to access the change of base function in a TI84...
Hit "alpha" then "window" and 5 will open up the option to enter a base on a log.
