Answer:

f(x) = (1/2) (x + 3)(x - 4)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = C(x + 3)(x - 4)^2

y-intercept = f(0) = C(3)(-4)^2 = 48C = 24, so C = 1/2

f(x) = (1/2) (x + 3)(x - 4)^2

A radioactive substance decreases in the amount of grams by one-third each year. If the starting amount of the

Answer:

The sequence is geometric. The recursive formula is a_{n}=2/3a_{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you have to calculate the amount of the substance left after the end of each year to obtain a sequence and then you have to determine if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric.

The substance decreases by one-third each year, therefore:

After 1 year:

1452-\frac{1}{3}(1452)

Using 1452 as a common factor and solving the fraction:

1452(1-\frac{1}{3})=1452(\frac{2}{3})=968

You can notice that in general, after each year the amount of grams is the initial amount of the year multiplied by 2/3

After 2 years:

968(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{1936}{3}

After 3 years:

\frac{1936}{3}(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{3872}{9}

The sequence is:

1452,968,1936/3,3872/9....

In order to determine if the sequence is geometric, you have to calculate the ratio of two consecutive terms and see if the ratio is the same for all two consecutive terms. The ratio is obtained by dividing a term by the previous term.

The sequence is arithmetic if the difference of two consecutive terms is the same for all two consecutive terms.

-Calculating the ratio:

For the first and second terms:

968/1452=2/3

For the second and third terms:

1936/3 ÷ 968 = 2/3

In conclussion, the sequence is geometric because the ratio is common.

The recursive formula of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_{n}=ra_{n-1}

where an is the nth term, r is the common ratio and an-1 is the previous term.

In this case, r=2/3

What are the solutions to the equation?<br> 7x^3=28x
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

7x³ = 28x is our equation. We want its solutions.

When you have x and different powers, set the whole thing equal to zero.

7x³ = 28x

7x³ - 28x = 0

Now notice there's a common x in both terms. Let's factor it out.

x (7x² - 28) = 0

As 7 is a factor of 7 and 28, it too can be factored out.

x (7) (x² - 4) = 0

We can further factor x² - 4. We want a pair of numbers that multiply to 4 and whose sum is zero. The pairs are 1 and 4, 2 and 2. If we add 2 and -2 we get zero.

x (7) (x - 2) (x + 2) = 0

Now we use the Zero Product Property - if some product multiplies to zero, so do its pieces.

x = 0        -----> so x = 0

7 = 0       -----> no solution

x - 2 = 0   ----> so x = 2   after adding 2 to both sides

x + 2 = 0  ---> so = x - 2  after subtracting 2 to both sides


Thus the solutions are x = 0, x = 2, x = -2.

Write the equation 12 − y = 2x − 5 in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept? A. y=2x−17,m=2, y-intercept (0,−
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

12-y=2x-5

+5        +5  ( add 5 to both sides)

17-y=2x

-17    -17  (Subtract 17 to get y by itself)

-y=2x-17

divide by -1 because y cant be negative

y=-2x+17

m=-2 and y-intercept= 17

I hope thats right :)
