Answer:

aₙ=(-2)ⁿ*2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) -4*(-2)=8; 8*(-2)=-16; -16*(-2)=32, ...

2) the required equation is:

aₙ=(-1)ⁿ*2ⁿ*2; ⇒ aₙ=(-2)ⁿ*2 or aₙ=(-1)ⁿ*2ⁿ⁺¹.

Translation of negative 6 units x, 1 units y composition reflection across the x-axis

The composition transformation that maps ABCD to A''B''C''D'' comprises

of two or more transformations that maps the image

The rule that describes the composition transformation that maps ABCD to

A''B''C''D'' is the option;

Translation of negative 6 units x, 1 units y composition reflection across the x-axis.

The given coordinates of parallelogram ABCD are (3, 5), (6, 5), (4, 1), (1, 1)

The coordinates of the parallelogram A'B'C'D' are; A'(3, -5), B'(6, -5), C'(4, -1), D(1, -1)

The coordinates of the parallelogram A''B''C''D'' are;

D(-5, 0), C''(-2, 0), A''(-3, -4), B''(0, -4)

The image of the point (x, y), following a reflection about the x-axis is the point (x, -y)

The difference in the coordinates of the parallelogram ABCD and A'B'C'D'

is the change in the sign of the y-coordinates

Therefore, the transformation that gives the parallelogram A'B'C'D' from

the parallelogram ABCD is a reflection about the x-axis

The difference between the coordinates of the vertices of the

parallelogram A'B'C'D' and the parallelogram A''B''C''D'', is a change in the

x-value by (-6), and a change in the y-value by (+1)

Therefore, the parallelogram A''B''C''D'' can be obtained from parallelogram

A'B'C'D', by a translation of -6 units (left) in the x-direction and a translation

of 1 unit, x in the y-direction

Which gives;

The composition transformation that maps the pre-image ABCD to the

final image A''B''C''D'', (given that in a composition transformation, the

transformation to the right is done first) are;

$\mathrm{T}_{-6,1} \cdot \mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{x}-\{axis}}(\mathrm{x}, \mathbf{y})$which is the option;

Translation of negative 6 units x, 1 units y composition reflection across the x-axis

A restaurant sees about 600 orders on Tuesday. This is down from last Tuesday by about 0.85%. How many did they see last Tuesday
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Number of orders seen on last Tuesday = 605

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of orders seen on Tuesday = 600

It is given that it is 0.85% less than last Tuesday.

Let number of sales on last Tuesday = x

As per question statement:

Number of order on last Tuesday - 0.85% of Number of order on last Tuesday = 600

OR

i.e. if we subtract 0.85% of x from x, it must be equal to 600.

x-\dfrac{0.85}{100}x =600\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{0.85}{100}x =600\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{100-0.85}{100}x =600\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{99.15}{100} \times x =600\\\Rightarrow x =\dfrac{600\times 100}{99.15}\\\Rightarrow x =\dfrac{60000}{99.15}\\\Rightarrow x \approx 605

So, there were about 605 order seen last Tuesday.
