Find the 4th term of the geometric sequence whose first term is 3 and common ratio is 2.

The 4th term of the geometric sequence whose first term is 3 and the common ratio is 2 is 24.

<h3>What is a geometric sequence and how to find its nth terms?</h3>

Suppose the initial term of a geometric sequence is a

and the term by which we multiply the previous term to get the next term is r then the sequence would look like

a, ar, ar², ar³,...., arⁿ

Thus, the nth term of such sequence would be aₙ = a₁ × r⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾ (you can easily predict this formula, as for the nth term, the multiple r would've multiplied with initial terms n-1 times).

Given the first term of the sequence is 3, while the common ratio is 2, therefore, the fourth term of the geometric sequence can be written as,

aₙ = a₁ × r⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

a₄ = 3 × 2⁽⁴⁻¹⁾

a₄ = 3 × 2³

a₄ = 24

Hence, the 4th term of the geometric sequence whose first term is 3 and the common ratio is 2 is 24.

Find the volume of a triangle prism with the following dimensions triangle base: 5ft
Andrews [41]
Hey there :)

We know the volume formula of a triangular prism
Volume = base area × height of prism

We are given:
Base of triangle = 5 ft
Height of triangle = 3 ft
Height of prism = 7.5 ft

Apply the formula
V = \frac{1}{2} ( 5 )( 3 ) × 7.5
   = 7.5 × 7.5
   = 56.24 ft³

polet [3.4K]

The expression (21 + 5i) + (-1 + i) demonstrates the commutative property of addition for (-1 + i) + (21 + 5i)

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more number and variables.

Given the expression:

(-1 + i) + (21 + 5i)

Using the commutative property of addition, we get:

(21 + 5i) + (-1 + i)

The expression (21 + 5i) + (-1 + i) demonstrates the commutative property of addition for (-1 + i) + (21 + 5i)

Shauna spent $175 on a pair of shoes.She spent 1/9 of the remaining money on a shirt.If he still had 4/7of his moneyleft,how muc
KIM [24]

Answer:

$490

Step-by-step explanation:

Shauna spent $175 on a pair of shoes.

She spent 1/9 of the remaining money on a shirt.

If he still had 4/7 of his money left,how much did he have at first ?

Solution:

Let at first, Shauna have = x

Money spent on a pair of shoes = $175

Remaining money = x-175

<u>As she spent 1/9 of the remaining money on a shirt.</u>

Money spent on shirt = \frac{1}{9} \times(x-175)=\frac{x}{9} -\frac{175}{9}

As he still had \frac{4}{7} of his money left:-

Money left = \frac{4}{7}\ of\ his\ money=\frac{4x}{7}

Money left with Shauna = Total money, she had at first -(Money spent on a pair of shoes + Money spent on shirt )

\frac{4x}{7} =x-(175+{\frac{x}{9} -\frac{175}{9} )\\\\\\

\frac{4x}{7} =x-(\frac{175}{1} -\frac{175}{9} +\frac{x}{9} )\\\\ \frac{4x}{7} =x-(\frac{1575-175}{9} +\frac{x}{9} )\\\\ \frac{4x}{7}=x-(\frac{1400}{9} +\frac{x}{9} )\\ \\ \frac{4x}{7}=x-\frac{1400}{9} -\frac{x}{9}

Subtracting both sides by x and adding both sides by \frac{x}{9}

\frac{4x}{7} -x+\frac{x}{9} =-\frac{1400}{9} -x+\frac{x}{9} +x-\frac{x}{9}

Taking LCM of 7 and 9, we get 63

\frac{36x-63x+7x}{63} =-\frac{1400}{9} \\ \\ -\frac{20x}{63}=-\frac{1400}{9}

Adding both side by -

\frac{36x-63x+7x}{63} =-\frac{1400}{9} \\ \\ \frac{20x}{63}=\frac{1400}{9}

By cross multiplication:

20x\times9=1400\times63\\180x=88200\\

Dividing both sides by 180

x=490

Therefore, total $490, she had at first.

HELP ME PLEASE ITS DUE TODAY!!!!
Stells [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

- 5 - ( - 4) =  - 5 + 4 =  - 1 \\  - 4 - ( - 5) =  - 4 + 5 = 1 \\  - 4 - (5) =  - 4 - 5 =  - 9 \\ 4 - ( - 5) = 4 + 5 = 9

Therefore ranking them from least to most:

- 4 - (5) \\  - 5 - ( - 4) \\  - 4 - ( - 5) \\ 4 - ( - 5)

Jessica invests​ $250 each quarter in an ordinary annuity with a​ 5% interest rate compounded quarterly. Determine the accumulat
madam [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Usimg formula for calculating compound interest.

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

P is the principal =$250

r is the rate = 5%

t is the time = 25years

n = 1/4(compounded quarterly)

Substituting to get the amount A.

A = 250(1+5/25)^25/4

A = 250(1+0.2)^6.25

A = 250(1.2)^6.25

A = 250(3.125)

A = $781.31

Hence the accumulated amount in​ Jessica's annuity after 25 years is $781.31
