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.
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
It is 40% because 8/20 times 5 is 40/100 and that is 40%.

Answer:
7k
____________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
We are trying to combine like terms with the expression: -k - ( - 8k)
We are pretty much solving it.
Solve:
-k - ( - 8k)
The "- ( -" turns into a plus sign.
So it would look like:
-k - -8k or -k + 8k
Now, you would finish solving
-k + 8k = 7k

Since the signs are different, you have to subtract. 2
A <em>factor</em> is a number that your number is divisible by.
19 has two factors: 19 and 1.
23 also has two factors: 23 and 1.
21 has four factors: It is divisible by 21 and 1, but also by 3 and 7.
25 has three factors: It is divisible by 25, 1, and 5.
We need a number less than 19 that has five or more factors.
What we can do is multiply a bunch of numbers together (so that we know that our number will be divisible by them) to give it a lot of factors.
Let's try 2 × 2 × 3. This gives us 12.
12 has <em>six</em> factors: 12, 1, 2, 6, 3, and 4.
