Answer 1

Answer:

a₄ = - [tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the common ratio r is calculated as

r = [tex]\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{a_{3} }{a_{2} }[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{2x+2}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3x+3}{2x+2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

(2x + 2)² = x(3x + 3) ← expand both sides

4x² + 8x + 4 = 3x² + 3x ( subtract 3x² + 3x from both sides )

x² + 5x + 4 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 1)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

However x ≠ - 1 as this would make the denominator of the second term equal to zero and therefore undefined.

Thus x = - 4 and

r = [tex]\frac{2(-4)+2}{-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-8+2}{-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6}{-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Then

a₁ = - 4

a₂ = - 4 × [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] = - 6

a₃ = - 6 × [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] = - 9

a₄ = - 9 × [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

122

Step-by-step explanation:

11x-65+58=180. The 58 comes from adding 29+29=58. You do this because there are two 29 due to it being an isosceles triangle meaning there are two sides equal.

Add your a like terms

11x-7=180

11x=180+7

11x=187

x=17

Plug the 17 in for 11x-65

11*17-65=122

You can change yourself by adding 29+29+122=180. You know this right because all triangles add to 180. '

F(x) =5x^2-20x+3 how to find minimum

Answers

Answer:

(2,-17) should be the minimum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum of a quadratic function occurs at [tex]x=-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex] . If a is positive, the minimum value of the function is [tex]f(-\frac{b}{2a})[/tex]

[tex]f_{min}x=ax^2+bx+c[/tex] occurs at [tex]x=-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

Find the value of [tex]x=-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

x = 2

evaluate f(2).

replace the variable x with 2 in the expression.

[tex]f(2)=5(2)^2-20(2)+3[/tex]

simplify the result.

[tex]f(2)=5(4)-20(2)+3[/tex]

[tex]f(2)=20-40+3[/tex]

[tex]f(2)=-17[/tex]

The final answer is -17

Use the x and y values to find where the minimum occurs.

Solve y=f(x) for x. Then find the input when the output is -3.
f(x) = (x-5)^3 -1
x = __
The input is __ when the output is -3.

Answers

Answer:

Please check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

[tex]f\left(x\right)\:=\:\left(x-5\right)^3-1[/tex]

Given that the output = -3

i.e. y = -3

now substituting the value y=-3 and solve for x to determine the input 'x'

[tex]\:\:y=\:\left(x-5\right)^3-1[/tex]

[tex]-3\:=\:\left(x-5\right)^3-1\:\:\:[/tex]

switch sides

[tex]\left(x-5\right)^3-1=-3[/tex]

Add 1 to both sides

[tex]\left(x-5\right)^3-1+1=-3+1[/tex]

[tex]\left(x-5\right)^3=-2[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{For\:}g^3\left(x\right)=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}g\left(x\right)=\sqrt[3]{f\left(a\right)},\:\sqrt[3]{f\left(a\right)}\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}i}{2},\:\sqrt[3]{f\left(a\right)}\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}i}{2}[/tex]

Thus, the input values are:

[tex]x=-\sqrt[3]{2}+5,\:x=\frac{\sqrt[3]{2}\left(1+5\cdot \:2^{\frac{2}{3}}\right)}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt[3]{2}\sqrt{3}}{2},\:x=\frac{\sqrt[3]{2}\left(1+5\cdot \:2^{\frac{2}{3}}\right)}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt[3]{2}\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

And the real input is:

[tex]x=-\sqrt[3]{2}+5[/tex]

[tex]x=3.74[/tex]

What is a quadratic equaton?

A quadratic equation is an algebraic expression in the form of variables and constants.

A quadratic equation has two roots as its degree is two.

Given, A quadratic equation of the form (x - 3)² + 2(x - 3) - 8 = 0.

Substituting, U = (x - 3).

(U)² + 2(U) - 8 = 0.

U² + 4U - 2U - 8 = 0.

U(U + 4) - 2(U + 4) = 0.

(U + 4)(U - 2) = 0.

U = - 4, 2.

x - 3 = - 4, 2.

x = - 4 + 3, 2 + 3.

x = - 1, 5.

So, The solution to the equation is - 1, 5.

Lyla grew 16 flowers with 2 seed packets.

How many seed packets does Lyla need to have

a total of 40 flowers in her garden?

Answers

Answer:

Lyla needs 640 seed packets.

Step-by-step explanation:

16 x 40 = 640

Answer: 5 seed packets

Explanation: we can find the number of flowers each packet grows by dividing the number of flowers by the number of packets.
16/2=8 so we know that each packet grows 8 flowers.
To find out how many packets we need to grow 40 flowers we can divide 40 by 8 to see how many times a packet of flowers is needed.
40/8=5 so we know we need 5 packets to grown 40 flowers.

y = -3x - 3.

Since (1/3)(-3) = -1, the 2 lines are perpendicular to each other

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

When you simplify the second equation

-2y = 6x + 6

you divide both sides by -2

y = -3x - 3

notice equation 1's slope is 1/3 and equation 2's slope is -3, for the second, it is negative and a reciprocal of the first, that suggests they are perpendicular to one another.
