To answer items such as this, we directly substitute the a + 2 to the all the x's in the function such that,
f(a + 2) = (3 + a + 2) / (a + 2 - 3)
Simplifying the function generated above,
f(a + 2) = (5 + a) / (a - 1)
<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>
Equation: x + 2 = 7/8x - 15
Solution: x = -136
<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>
x + 2 = 7/8x - 15
2 + 15 = 7/8x - x
17 = 7/8x - 8/8x
17 = -1/8x
17 × -8 = x
-136 = x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The line is passing through 2 points: (0,9 and (3,3)
slope=(9-3)/(0-3)=-2
equation is : y-9=-2(x-0) or y=-2x+9
N=1→an=a1 (first term)=16 (on the graph for n=1)→First term = 16
n=2→an=a2 (second term) = 4 (on the graph for n=2)→Second term = 4
ratio=(Second term)/(First term)=a2/a1=4/16
Simplifying the fraction dividing the numerator (4) by 4 and the denominator (16) by 4:
ratio=(4/4)/(16/4)→ratio=1/4
Answer: Option A. First term = 16, ratio = 1/4
