Answer:
Let's first find the slope.
-13 - (-8) / 2-1
-5/1
-5
The slope is -5.
The y intercept, or where the line crosses the y=axis, is equal to -3.
So, the equation is y=-5x-3
Let me know if this helps!
I hope first term is 1.
Hope this is your question, if not I think you will, still be able to
find an answer of your question based on this solution.
The formula for general term of a geometric sequence is,

Where, first term: a_{1} =1 and common ratio: r = -4.
So, first step is to plug in the values of a1 and r in the above formula to get the rule of this geometric sequence. Hence,


So, the rule of the geometric sequence is
.
To find the seventh term, plug in n = 7 in the above rule. Therefore,

= 
= 4096
Hope this helps you!.
Simplifying
12x + -8x = 12
Combine like terms: 12x + -8x = 4x
4x = 12
Solving
4x = 12
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 3
Simplifying
x = 3
Answer:
x ≥ 7
Step-by-step explanation:
|x - 7| = x - 7
A. For each absolute, find the intervals
x - 7 ≥ 0 x - 7 < 0
x ≥ 7 x < 7
If x ≥ 7, |x - 7| = x - 7 > 0.
If x < 7, |x - 7| = x - 7 < 0. No solution.
B. Solve for x < 7
Rewrite |x - 7| = x - 7 as
+(x - 7) = x - 7
x - 7 = x - 7
-x + 14 = x
14 = 2x
x = 7
7 ≮7. No solution
C. Solve for x ≥ 7
Rewrite |x - 7| = x - 7 as
+(x - 7) = x - 7
x - 7 = x - 7
True for all x.
D. Merge overlapping intervals
No solution or x ≥ 7
⇒ x ≥ 7
The diagram below shows that the graphs of y = |x - 7| (blue) and of y = x - 7 (dashed red) coincide only when x ≥ 7.
