Write the equation for the following sequence: 18, 15, 12,… Write the equation in terms of n (do not use Sn).

[tex]f(x) = ab^x~\hfill \begin{array}{llll}\textit{we know that}~f(0)=-4\begin{cases}x=0\\f(x)=-4\end{cases}\\\\-4=ab^0\implies -4=a(1)\implies -4=a\end{array}\\\\\\\stackrel{therefore}{f(x)=-4b^x}~\hfill \textit{we also know that}~f(-2)=-64\begin{cases}x=-2\\f(x)=-64\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]-64=-4b^{-2}\implies \cfrac{-64}{-4}=b^{-2}\implies 16=b^{-2}\implies 16=\cfrac{1}{b^2} \\\\\\ b^2=\cfrac{1}{16}\implies b=\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{16}}\implies b = \cfrac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{16}}\implies b = \cfrac{1}{4} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill f(x)=-4\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)^x~\hfill[/tex]

Answer:

D. The function approaches 1 as x approaches -infinity and infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Divide numerator and denominator by [tex]x^2[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{x^2-4}{x^2-9}=\frac{1-\frac{4}{x^2}}{1-\frac{9}{x^2}}[/tex]

Step 2: Notice that as x gets closer to infinity or negative infinity, x^2 gets closer to infinity, meaning that the expression approaches 1/1 =1

Answer: 8.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Should I Explain How I got it?

132.16 divided by 16 is equal to 8.26.

Here, we have,

given that,

132.16 divided by 16

so, we have, 132.16 ÷ 16

To find the quotient of 132.16 divided by 16,

we can perform long division:

    8.26

____________

16 | 132.16

112

____________

20

Therefore, 132.16 divided by 16 is equal to 8.26.

Answer is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-4< -36

8x < -36+4 (move [- 4] to the other side to find x)

8x < -32

8x < -4

Answer:

x < -4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 4 < -36

+4           +4 (Add 4 on both sides)

8x < -32

/8      /8        (Divide by 8 on both sides)

x < -4

Explanation :

________________________________

Factorizes:

⇒ a² + 8a + 16 = 0.

As we know that,

Factorizes the equation into middle term splits, we get.

⇒ a² + 4a + 4a + 16 = 0.

⇒ a(a + 4) + 4(a + 4) = 0.

⇒ (a + 4)(a + 4) = 0.

⇒ (a + 4)² = 0.

⇒a=-4.

Hence a=-4.

Answer:

1003

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is a classic example of a telescoping series of products, a series in which each term is represented in a certain form such that the multiplication of most of the terms results in a massive cancelation of subsequent terms within the numerators and denominators of the series.

The simplest form of a telescoping product[tex]a_{k} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{k}}{t_{k+1}}[/tex], in which the products of n terms is

[tex]a_{1} \ \times \ a_{2} \ \times \ a_{3} \ \times \ \cdots \times \ a_{n-1} \ \times \ a_{n} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{1}}{t_{2}} \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{2}}{t_{3}} \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{3}}{t_{4}} \ \times \ \cdots \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{n-1}}{t_{n}} \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{n}}{t_{n+1}} \\ \\ \-\hspace{5.55cm} = \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{1}}{t_{n+1}}.[/tex].

In this particular case, [tex]t_{1} \ = \ 2[/tex] , [tex]t_{2} \ = \ 3[/tex], [tex]t_{3} \ = \ 4[/tex], ..... , in which each term follows a recursive formula of [tex]t_{n+1} \ = \ t_{n} \ + \ 1[/tex]. Therefore,

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{t_{2}}{t_{1}} \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{3}}{t_{2}} \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{4}}{t_{3}} \times \cdots \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{n}}{t_{n-1}} \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{n+1}}{t_{n}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{3}{2} \times \displaystyle\frac{4}{3} \times \displaystyle\frac{5}{4} \times \cdots \times \displaystyle\frac{2005}{2004} \times \displaystyle\frac{2006}{2005} \\ \\ \-\hspace{5.95cm} = \ \displaystyle\frac{2006}{2} \\ \\ \-\hspace{5.95cm} = 1003[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

RHS = cos 105° + cos 15°

         = cos (90° + 15°) + cos (90° – 75°)  

         = – sin 15° + sin 75°

         = sin 75° – sin 15°

          = LHS

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin75-sin15

=sin (90-15)-(-cos (90+15))

=cos 15+cos 105

We take H.C.F of both number and the variables then we compare the HCF number and variable with our question and equate and write the answer about how much should be multiplied from the H.C.F answer to get the question.

Answer:

4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to know the time when the height is 0, we can rewrite the problem as [tex]0=-2t^2+2t+24[/tex]. From there, we can plug it into the quadratic formula, which gives us [tex]\frac{-2-\sqrt{4-4(-2)(24)} }{2(-2)}[/tex](Since it's a real-world problem and we have a negative denominator, we won't be using the positive square root). We simplify this to get [tex]\frac{-2-\sqrt{196} }{-4}[/tex], then [tex]\frac{-2-14}{-4}[/tex]. Finally, we can calculate this to be 4 seconds.

Answer:

60 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

300 = 2(30 + w) + 2(w)

300 = 60 +2w + 2w

300 = 60 + 4w

240 = 4w

60 = w

Answer:

A. sec =12/13×

B. COS =12/13×

C. tan =12/5✓

D. sin =12/13 ✓

Step-by-step explanation:

we know,

using Pythagoras formula,

p=12,h=13 ,b=?

h^2 =p^2 +b^2

b=5

so tan = p/b

=12/5

sin=p/h and cosec= h/p

D. sin =12/13
