First, notice that (a + 1/a)2 = 42 = 16. But also, (a + 1/a)2 = a2 + 2a(1/a) + 1/a2 = a2 + 2 + 1/a2 = a2 + 1/a2 + 2
So a2 + 1/a2 + 2 = 16, so a2 + 1/a2 = 14.
Now, do that again...
(a2 + 1/a2)2 = 142 = 196, but also (a2 + 1/a2)2 = a4 + 2(a2)(1/a2) + 1/a4 = a4 + 2 + 1/a4 = a4 + 1/a4 + 2
So a4 + 1/a4 + 2 = 196, so a4 + 1/a4 = 194
You can see the pattern... E.g., a8 + 1/a8 = 1942 - 2, etc.

A circle has a radius of 8. Find the area of a sector of this circle that is intercepted by central angle measuring pi over 7
Answer:
14.4 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Keep in mind that the area here is a fraction of the area of a full circle of radius 8.
(area of sector) = (fraction)(pi)(8)^2
The fraction is the given central angle (pi over 7) divided by 2pi:
pi 1
--------- * ----------- = 1/14
7 2pi
Multiply the formula (fraction)(pi)(8)^2 found above by this fraction:
area of sector = (1/14)(pi)(8)^2 = 14.4 square units

What is the equation of the line?
Answer: x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
When you look at the line, you can see it's plotted on the x-axis. From there you know the solution will be equal to x. Since the line passes right through the number -9 on the x-axis line, the answer would be x = -9. The line is straight which means it has no y intercept which is why x is only equal to -9.

I need help im doing IXL right now (BB.3 Complete a function table: quadratic functions)
i just need help with this final question (posted with a picture)
Answer:
0, 2, 4
Step-by-step explanation:-2 + 2 = 0 + 2= 2 + 2 = 4
The function table is solved and the quadratic equation is f ( x ) = -3x²
What is Quadratic Equation?A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x , ax² + bx + c=0. with a ≠ 0. Because it is a second-order polynomial equation, the fundamental theorem of algebra guarantees that it has at least one solution. The solution may be real or complex.
The roots of the quadratic equations are
x = [ -b ± √ ( b² - 4ac ) ] / ( 2a )
where ( b² - 4ac ) is the discriminant
when ( b² - 4ac ) is positive, we get two real solutions
when discriminant is zero we get just one real solution (both answers are the same)
when discriminant is negative we get a pair of complex solutions
Given data ,
Let the quadratic equation be represented as A
Now , the value of A is
f ( x ) = -3x²
when x = -2
f ( -2 ) = -3 ( -2 )²
f ( -2 ) = -12
And , when x = 0
f ( 0 ) = 0
when x = 2
f ( 2 ) = -12
when x = 4
f ( 4 ) = -48
Hence , the function table is f ( x ) = { -12 , 0 , -12 , -48 }

Find the value of x
5(x−7)=25
Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x−7)=25
Divide both sides by 5.
x−7=25/5
Divide 25 by 5 to get 5.
x−7=5
Add 7 to both sides.
x=5+7
Add 5 and 7 to get 12.
x=12
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x-7) = 25 (distribute)
5x-35 =25 (add 35 on both sides)
5x = 60 (divide)
x = 12

If the loss incurred on selling an article is 7/20 of the cost price, then find the loss percentage.
Answer: The loss percentage = 65%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost price.
As per given,
Selling price = [tex]\dfrac{7}{20}x[/tex]
Loss =Cost price - Selling price
[tex]=x-\dfrac{7}{20}x\\\\=\dfrac{20-7}{20}x\\\\=\dfrac{13}{20}x[/tex]
The loss percent = [tex]\dfrac{loss}{Cost\ price}\times100[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{\dfrac{13}{20}x}{x}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{13}{20}\times100\\\\=13\times5\%\\\\=65\%[/tex]
Hence, the loss percentage = 65%

Pyramid A has a triangular base where each side measures 4 units and a volume of 36 cubic units. Pyramid B has the same height, but each side of its base is 6 units long.
Answer:
The volume of pyramid B is 81 cubic units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Pyramid A
[tex]s = 4[/tex] -- base sides
[tex]V = 36[/tex] -- Volume
Pyramid B
[tex]s = 6[/tex] --- base sides
Required
Determine the volume of pyramid B [Missing from the question]
From the question, we understand that both pyramids are equilateral triangular pyramids.
The volume is calculated as:
[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h[/tex]
Where B represents the area of the base equilateral triangle, and it is calculated as:
[tex]B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)[/tex]
Where s represents the side lengths
First, we calculate the height of pyramid A
For Pyramid A, the base area is:
[tex]B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)[/tex]
[tex]B = \frac{1}{2} * 4^2 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]B = \frac{1}{2} * 16 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]B = 4\sqrt 3[/tex]
The height is calculated from:
[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]36 = \frac{1}{3} * 4\sqrt 3 * h[/tex]
Make h the subject
[tex]h = \frac{3 * 36}{4\sqrt 3}[/tex]
[tex]h = \frac{3 * 9}{\sqrt 3}[/tex]
[tex]h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}[/tex]
To calculate the volume of pyramid B, we make use of:
[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h[/tex]
Since the heights of both pyramids are the same, we can make use of:
[tex]h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}[/tex]
The base area B, is then calculated as:
[tex]B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)[/tex]
Where
[tex]s = 6[/tex]
So:
[tex]B = \frac{1}{2} * 6^2 * sin(60)[/tex]
[tex]B = \frac{1}{2} * 36 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]B = 9\sqrt 3[/tex]
So:
[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h[/tex]
Where
[tex]B = 9\sqrt 3[/tex] and [tex]h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}[/tex]
[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} * 9\sqrt 3 * \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}[/tex]
[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} * 9 * 27[/tex]
[tex]V = 81[/tex]

81
