Answer:
a₆ = - 486
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric sequence is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ [tex](r)^{n-1}[/tex]
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = - 2 and r = 3 , then
a₆ = - 2 [tex](3)^{5}[/tex] = - 2 × 243 = - 486
The recursive rule allows a term in the sequence to be found by multiplying the previous term by the common ratio, that is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 3[tex]a_{n-1}[/tex] with a₁ = - 2
how do i solve -3x--3+8x-24=6x+7-5x
Answer:
[tex]x=7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-3x--3+8x-24=6x+7-5x[/tex]
Two negative signs equate to a positive sign, so we can write [tex]--3[/tex] as just [tex]3[/tex]:
[tex]-3x+3+8x-24=6x+7-5x[/tex]
Add up similar terms:
[tex]5x-21=x+7[/tex]
Add 21 to both sides:
[tex]5x-21+21=x+7+21[/tex]
[tex]5x=x+28[/tex]
Subtract x from both sides:
[tex]5x-x=x+28-x[/tex]
[tex]4x=28[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4:
[tex]\frac{4x}{x} =\frac{28}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=7[/tex]

Identify.
5k - 2 = 2k + 4
Step 2: Solve for k
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2k on both sides: 3k - 2 = 4[Addition Property of Equality] Add 2 on both sides: 3k = 6[Division Property of Equality] Divide 3 on both sides: k = 2Answer:
k=2
Step-by-step explanation:
5k-2=2k+4
add 2 to both sides
5k=2k+6
subtract 2k to both sides
3k=6
divide both 3k and 6 by 3 to get k by itself

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto XY=\sqrt{a^2+2^2}[/tex]

In the diagram below, \overline{ST} ST is parallel to \overline{PQ} PQ. If STST is 55 more than QTQT, RT=10RT=10, and PQ=15PQ=15, find the length of \overline{QT} QT. Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale. State your answer in simplest radical form, if necessary.PQRTS
The length of the [tex]\overline{QT}[/tex] can be determined using the given information and
the relationship between corresponding sides of similar triangles.
[tex]\underline{\overline{QT} = 5}[/tex]Reasons:
The given parameters are;
[tex]\overline{ST} \parallel \overline{PQ}[/tex]
ST = QT + 5
RT = 10
PQ = 15
Required: The length of [tex]\overline{QT}[/tex]
Solution:
Using the relationship between corresponding sides of similar triangles, ΔRST and ΔRPQ, we have;
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\overline{ST}}{\overline{RT}} = \mathbf{\frac{\overline{PQ}}{\overline{RQ}}}[/tex]RQ = QT + RT
Therefore;
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\overline{ST}}{\overline{RT}} = \mathbf{\frac{\overline{PQ}}{\overline{QT} + \overline{RT}}}[/tex]Which gives;
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\overline{QT} + 5}{\overline{RT}} = \frac{\overline{PQ}}{\overline{QT} + \overline{RT}}[/tex]
Plugging in the known values gives;
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\overline{QT} + 5}{10} = \mathbf{\frac{15}{\overline{QT} + 10}}[/tex]
[tex](\overline{QT} + 5) \times (\overline{QT} + 10) = 10 \times 15[/tex]
[tex]\overline{QT}^2 + 10\cdot \overline{QT} + 5\cdot \overline{QT} + 50 = 10 \times 15[/tex]
[tex]\overline{QT}^2 + 15\cdot \overline{QT} + 50 - 150= 0[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\overline{QT}^2 + 15\cdot \overline{QT} -100} = 0[/tex]
Factorizing with a graphing calculator gives;
[tex](\overline{QT} -5) \cdot (\overline{QT} + 20)= 0[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\overline{QT} = 5} \ or \ \overline{QT} = -20[/tex]
Therefore, given that [tex]\overline{QT}[/tex] is a natural number, we have;
[tex]\underline{\overline{QT} = 5}[/tex]

You are buying mouthwash at your local store. The price of the mouthwash is $4.39. It is currently on sale for 20% off. You also have a store coupon for $1.00 off and a manufacturer's coupon for $1.25 off. What is your subtotal?
Answer:5.68 dollars amirikan
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that price of the mouthwash is $4.39. It is currently on sale for 20% discount. You also have a store coupon for $1.00 off and a manufacturer's coupon for $1.25 off. The subtotal you need to pay is $1.262.
What is discount?The term discount refers to the amount or percentage deducted from the normal selling price of something. The discount means a reduction in the price of a good or service.
Discount = Marked price - Selling price
The mouthwash is at sale for 20% off.
Cost price = $4.39
Discount = 20% of $4.39 = $0.878
Total discount = 20% off + store coupon + manufacturer's coupon = $0.878 + $1.000 + $1.250 = $3.128
Selling price = Marked price - Discount = $4.39 - $3.128 = $1.262

Identify the point that is not on the line 15x + 60y = 180
a (4,2) c (12, 1)
b (0,3) d (8, 1)
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the coordinates of the points into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then the point lies on the line.
(4, 2 ) → 15(4) + 60(2) = 60 + 120 = 180 ← point on line
(12, 1 ) → 15(12) + 60(1) = 180 + 60 = 240 ← point not on line
(0, 3 ) → 15(0) + 60(3) = 0 + 180 = 180 ← point on line
(8, 1 ) → 15(8) + 60(1) = 120 + 60 = 180 ← point on line
The point (12, 1 ) is not on the line → c

Simplify the scale 5mm: 1 meter , writing your answer in ratio form.
Answer:
1 : 200
Step-by-step explanation:
To get an answer in ratio form, we must convert meters into millimeters or we can convert millimeters to meters. Then we can get our answer.
Step 1: Convert.
=> 5 millimeters : 1 meter
=> 5 millimeters : 1000 millimeters
Step 2: Simplify.
=> 5 millimeters : 1000 millimeters
=> 1 millimeter : 200 millimeters
Key Note: Answer in ratio form is always unitless.
=> 1 : 200
So therefore, 1 : 200 is our ratio. Hoped this helped.

5/n=6/12
Answer:
5/n=6/12n = 6/12×5n = 6/60n =1/ 10n = 1:10A car was traveling at 25 m/s when it slammed on the brakes and came to a complete stop in 3 seconds. What is the cars INITIAL/FINAL VELOCITY?
Answer:
Initial velocity = 25 m/s
Final velocity = 0 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial velocity is the speed in the beginning and final velocity is the speed in the end.
The problem says the car was traveling at 25 m/s, so that is the initial velocity. The end of the problem states the car came to a complete stop after 3 seconds. Therefore, the final velocity is 0 m/s.
Suzanne has 15 books and will buy 3 more each month. Jack has 57 books and will sell 4 books each month. After how many months will they have the same number of books? How many will that be?
They would both have the same number of books after 6 months.
The number of books they would have is 33.
This expression can be used to determine the number of books Suzanne would have after x months: 15 + 3x
This expression can be used to determine the number of books Jack would have after x months: 57 - 4x
In order to determine the month in which both people would have the same number of books, equate both expressions.
15 + 3x = 57 - 4x
Combine similar terms
3x + 4x = 57 - 15
7x = 42
Divide both sides b y 7
x = 6
Number of books they would have : 15 + 3(6) = 15 + 18 = 33
