Find an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence.

-4, -8, -16, -32, ...

A) an = -4 • 2n - 1
B) an = 2 • -4n + 1
C) an = 2 • -4n
D) an = -4 • 2n

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

An explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence will be:

[tex]a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}[/tex]      

Thus, option (A) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

[tex]-4, -8, -16, -32, ...[/tex]

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by

[tex]a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

[tex]\frac{-8}{-4}=2,\:\quad \frac{-16}{-8}=2,\:\quad \frac{-32}{-16}=2[/tex]

As the ratio 'r' is the same.

so

[tex]r=2[/tex]

as

[tex]a_1=-4[/tex]

Hence, the nth term of the sequence will be:

[tex]a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

substituting the values [tex]r=2[/tex] and [tex]a_1=-4[/tex]

[tex]a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}[/tex]      

Therefore, an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence will be:

[tex]a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}[/tex]      

Thus, option (A) is true.

The length of a rectangle is 10 more than 10 twice the width , if the perimeter is 80inches find the length the width

Answers

Answer:

The width is 10 inches

The length is 30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a Rectangle

The perimeter of a rectangle of length L and width W is calculated as follows:

P = 2L + 2W

It's given the length of a rectangle is 10 more than twice the width:

L = 2W + 10

Substituting into the formula of the perimeter:

P = 2(2W + 10) + 2W

Operating:

P = 4W + 20 + 2W

P = 6W + 20

It's given this perimeter is 80 inches, thus

6W + 20 = 80

Subtracting 20:

6W = 80 - 20 = 60

Dividing by 6:

W = 60 /6 = 10

Since :

L = 2W + 10

L = 2*10 + 10

L = 30

The width is 10 inches

The length is 30 inches

ride passes and parking was $103.50. How many people in the family attended
the fair?

Answers

$103.50 - $16 = $87.5
total cost of admission and ride pass per person = $5 + $7.50 = $12.50

-3y-2=7 what is the value of y

Answers

Answer:

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 2 to each side to isolate the -3y. Doing this leaves you with -3y=9. You then divide each side leaving you with y = -3

Answer:

The equation has one solution at which y = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of y, we need to isolate it from the rest of the equation.

Add 2 to both sides of the equation.Divide by -3 on both sides of the equation.Simplify the equation if necessary.

[tex]\displaystyle{-3y-2=7}\\\\-3y = 9\\\\\bold{y = -3}[/tex]

We can check to make sure that y = -3 by substitution.

[tex]\displaystyle{-3(-3)-2 = 7}\\\\9-2=7\\\\7= 7 \ \checkmark[/tex]

Because we got a true statement, we can determine that y = -3.

[tex]y+3=\frac{2}{5} (x+5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the slope using the 2 given points and the slope equation.

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Enter in the points:

[tex]m=\frac{-3--1}{-5-0}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]m=\frac{-2}{-5}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Now that we have slope we can just use one of the points given. Remember point-slope form:

[tex]y-y1=m(x-x1)[/tex]

I'll use the point (-5,-3) in this case.

So, your solution is

Starting from the same place a plane took 1 hr longer to fly 705 mi to Atlanta, than to fly 470 mi to New Orleans. If the plane flew at the same rate for the entire trip, what was the flying time for the shorter leg? a. 1 2 hr c. 1 1 2 hrs b. 1hr d. 2 hrs

Answers

Answer: d. 2 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Time taken(in hours) to fly 470 mi to New Orleans. (Shorter leg)

Then Time taken to fly 705 mi to Atlanta= x+1 (longer leg)

Since  the plane flew at the same rate for the entire trip.

i.e. Speed 705 mi to Atlanta = Speed to fly to New orleans

[tex]\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{705}{x+1}=\dfrac{470}{x}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ [\text{Speed}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}]\\\\\Rightarrow\ 705x=470(x+1)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 705x=470x+470\\\\\Rightarrow\ 705x-470x=470 \\\\\Rightarrow\ 235x=470\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{470}{235} \\\\\Rightarrow\ x=2[/tex]

hence, the flying time for the shorter leg = 2 hours

Denis orders a large pizza for $16.50 plus $2 for each topping. Sheng orders a medium pizza for $13.25 plus $2 for each topping.

Answers

Their bills will never be the same because the toppings cost the same.

Question must probably wants to know the number of toppings it would take for their bills to be equal.

Assume the number of toppings is x, Dennis's bill will be:

= Cost of Pizza + Cost of toppings x number of toppings

= 16.50 + 2x

Sheng's bill will be:

= 13.25 + 2x

Equate their bills to find the number of toppings that would equate their costs:

16.50 + 2x = 13.25 + 2x

16.50 - 13.25 ≠ 2x - 2x

3.25 ≠ 0

In conclusion, their bill will never be the same because the toppings are the same price.
