5. 3 , -12 , 48 , -192

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

if it is a geometric sequence, then

sn = sn-1 × r

with r being the common ratio.

1.

s2 = s1 × r

20 = -40 × r

r = 20/-40 = -1/2

but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.

s3 = s2 × r

-100 = 20 × -1/2 = -10

this is wrong, so, it is not geometric.

2.

s2 = s1 × r

20 = 4 × r

r = 20/4 = 5

but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.

s3 = s2 × r

100 = 20 × 5 = 100

s4 = s3 × r

500 = 100 × 5 = 500

this is all correct, so, it is geometric.

sn = sn-1 × 5

sn = s1 × 5^(n-1) = 4 × 5^(n-1)

3.

s2 = s1 × r

24 = 4 × r

r = 24/4 = 6

but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.

s3 = s2 × r

144 = 24 × 6 = 144

s4 = s3 × r

864 = 144 × 6 = 864

this is all correct, so, it is geometric.

sn = sn-1 × 6

sn = s1 × 6^(n-1) = 4 × 6^(n-1)

5.

s2 = s1 × r

-12 = 3 × r

r = -12/3 = -4

but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.

s3 = s2 × r

48 = -12 × -4 = 48

s4 = s3 × r

-192 = 48 × -4 = -192

this is all correct, so, it is geometric.

sn = sn-1 × -4

sn = s1 × (-4)^(n-1) = 3 × (-4)^(n-1)

Graph the equation 2x - y = -3

PLEASE HELP, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume that x=0

Therefore- 2×0-y= -3

                0 - y =-3

Therefore y = -3

Then lets take now the before equation

2x - 3= -3

2x = -3+3

2x=0

x=0÷2

∴ x= 0

Answer is- 0,-3

See image

You have to change the equation so it's in the form y=mx+b.

b is the y-intercept and it is a good starting point and m is the slope and it tells you directions to the next point (also how steep or flat and if it's going up or down) See image

Answers

ΔHGE and ΔFGE are congruent by the Angle-Side-Angle Congruence Theorem (ASA).

Recall:

A segment that divides an angle into equal parts is known as an angle bisector.Two triangles are congruent by the ASA Congruence Theorem if they share a common side and have two pairs of congruent angles.

In the diagram given, Angle bisector, GE, divides ∠HEF into congruent angles,  ∠HEG ≅ ∠GEF.

Also divides ∠FGH into congruent angles, ∠HGE ≅ ∠FGE.

Both triangles also share a common side, GE

This implies that: ΔHGE and ΔFGE have:

two pairs of congruent angles - ∠HEG ≅ ∠GEF and ∠HGE ≅ ∠FGE

a shared side - GE

Therefore, ΔHGE and ΔFGE are congruent by the Angle-Side-Angle Congruence Theorem (ASA).

Find the interval where the function is decreasing.

(d) Find the interval where the function is concave up.
Find the interval where the function is concave down.
Find the inflection point.
(e) Use the information from parts (a)-(d) to sketch the graph of f.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume the function is [tex]f(x)=1+\frac{5}{x}-\frac{4}{x^2}[/tex]

A) The vertical asymptotes are located where the denominator is equal to 0. Therefore, [tex]x=0[/tex] is the only vertical asymptote.

B) Set the first derivative equal to 0 and solve:

[tex]f(x)=1+\frac{5}{x}-\frac{4}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]f'(x)=-\frac{5}{x^2}+\frac{8}{x^3}[/tex]

[tex]0=-\frac{5}{x^2}+\frac{8}{x^3}[/tex]

[tex]0=-5x+8[/tex]

[tex]5x=8[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex]

Now we test where the function is increasing and decreasing on each side. I will use 2 and 1 to test this:

[tex]f'(2)=-\frac{5}{2^2}+\frac{8}{2^3}=-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{8}{8}=-\frac{5}{4}+1=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]f'(1)=-\frac{5}{1^2}+\frac{8}{1^3}=-\frac{5}{1}+\frac{8}{1}=-5+8=3[/tex]

Therefore, the function increases on the interval [tex](0,\frac{8}{5})[/tex] and decreases on the interval [tex](-\infty,0),(\frac{8}{5},\infty)[/tex].

C) Since we determined that the slope is 0 when [tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex] from the first derivative, plugging it into the original function tells us where the extrema are. Therefore, [tex]f(\frac{8}{5})=1+\frac{5}{\frac{8}{5}}-\frac{4}{\frac{8}{5}^2 }=\frac{41}{16}[/tex], meaning there's an extreme at the point [tex](\frac{8}{5},\frac{41}{16})[/tex], but is it a maximum or minimum? To answer that, we will plug in [tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex] into the second derivative which is [tex]f''(x)=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]. If [tex]f''(x)>0[/tex], then it's a minimum. If [tex]f''(x)<0[/tex], then it's a maximum. If [tex]f''(x)=0[/tex], the test fails. So, [tex]f''(\frac{8}{5})=\frac{10}{\frac{8}{5}^3}-\frac{24}{\frac{8}{5}^4}=-\frac{625}{512}<0[/tex], which means [tex](\frac{8}{5},\frac{41}{16})[/tex] is a local maximum.

D) Now set the second derivative equal to 0 and solve:

[tex]f''(x)=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]

[tex]0=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]

[tex]0=10x-24[/tex]

[tex]-10x=-24[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{24}{10}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]

We then test where [tex]f''(x)[/tex] is negative or positive by plugging in test values. I will use -1 and 3 to test this:

[tex]f''(-1)=\frac{10}{(-1)^3}-\frac{24}{(-1)^4}=-34<0[/tex], so the function is concave down on the interval [tex](-\infty,0)\cup(0,\frac{12}{5})[/tex]

[tex]f''(3)=\frac{10}{3^3}-\frac{24}{3^4}=\frac{2}{27}>0[/tex], so the function is concave up on the interval [tex](\frac{12}{5},\infty)[/tex]

The inflection point is where concavity changes, which can be determined by plugging in [tex]x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex] into the original function, which would be [tex]f(\frac{12}{5})=1+\frac{5}{\frac{12}{5}}+\frac{4}{\frac{12}{5}^2 }=\frac{43}{18}[/tex], or [tex](\frac{12}{5},\frac{43}{18})[/tex].
