PLease Help! I'm Stuck

We can solve this problem in two ways.

1. From the description we conclude that the described sequence is a geometric sequence where the first term a₁ = 2 and common ratio r = 3, so:

Answer D.

2. The easiest way. We know that a₁ = 2, so let's substitute n = 1 for each of the possible answers:

A. 3·2ⁿ = 3·2¹ = 3·2 = 6 - Wrong

B. 2·3ⁿ = 2·3¹ = 2·3 = 6 - Wrong

C. 3·2ⁿ⁻¹ = 3·2¹⁻¹ = 3·2⁰ = 3·1 = 3 - Wrong

D. 2·3ⁿ⁻¹ = 2·3¹⁻¹ = 2·3⁰ = 2·1 = 2 - Correct.

ian gonna lie that is way to much

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
