Answer:

a_{n} = 5(2)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is

10 ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 10 = 40 ÷ 20 = 80 ÷ 40 = 2

this indicates the sequence is geometric with explicit formula

a_{n} = a₁(r)^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 5 and r = 2 , then

a_{n} = 5 (2)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

as we see in the sequence, each term is twice of the previous term.

we mark the Nth as a(N), then:

a(N)=2a(N-1)

Explain the difference between accuracy and precision
nata0808 [166]

Precision is more like consistency. Take a rifle range for example. Sure, all the shots may be off centered, but if they're tightly grouped together, it shows that the shooter had precision in their shooting. Accuracy is how close to spot on the attempts or shots generally are. They would end up more towards the center, but a little more spread out.

What are the verter and x-intercepts of the graph of the function given below?<br> y=x2-2x-35
horsena [70]

For x intercepts, plug in 0 for y.

               0 = (x^2) - 2x - 35

*factoring* = (x-7)(x+5)

x intercepts = 7,-5

As for the vertex, you can use the equation -b/2a for the x-coordinate of the vertex

so,

x = -b/2a = -(-2)/2 = 1

then just find the y value by plugging it back in to the equation.

y = ((1)^2) - 2(1) - 35

= -36

so, vertex is at (1,-36)

In the figure,ABC is a right-angled triangle.PQ=24cm,PR=45cm and T is a point on QR such that PT丄QR.Find PT.
snow_tiger [21]

RQ² = RP² + PQ²

RQ² = 45² + 24²

RQ² = 2025 + 576

RQ² = 2601

RQ = 51

PT/PR = PQ/RQ

PT/45 = 24/51

PT = (24/51) × 45

PT = (8/17) × 45

PT = 360/17
