Answer:

\boxed{a_n \:  =  \: 64 \:  \times  \: ( -  \frac{3}{4} ) ^{n \:  -  \: 1} }

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We first compute the ratio of this geometric sequence.

r \:  =  \:  \frac{ - 48}{64}  \\  \\ r   \:  =  \:  \frac{36}{ - 48}  \\  \\  r \:  =  \:  \frac{ - 27}{36}

  • We simplify the fractions:

r \:  =  \:   -  \frac{3 }{4}   \\  \\ r   \:  =  \:   -  \frac{3 }{4}  \\  \\  r \:  =  \:    -  \frac{3 }{4}

  • We deduce that it is the common ratio because it is the same between each pair.

r \:  =  \:  -  \frac{3 }{4}

  • We use the first term and the common ratio to describe the equation:

a_1 \:  =  \: 64; \: r \:  =  \:  -  \frac{3 }{4}

<h3>We apply the data in this formula:</h3>

\boxed{a_n \:  =  \: a_1 \:   \times  \:  {r}^{ n \:  -  \: 1} }

<h3>We apply:</h3>

\boxed {\bold{a_n \:  =  \: 64 \:   \times  \:  {( -  \frac{3}{4} )}^{ n \:  -  \: 1} }}

Select the correct answer for each statement. (k+2, k+3 , k+4) or (k+10, k+12, k+14) will yield consecutive odd integers. (k+6,
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

one

The only really certain way of getting an odd integer is to do 2k + 1. Therefore the answer should be something like 2k+1, 2k+3, 2k + 5

The best I can do for the first one is to assume that k is odd and that the answer is k + 10, k+12, k+14, but I would ask your instructor if this is merely the best answer out of a poor lot or if the question really has no answer.

Two things should be noted.

1. k has to be odd.

2. The first choice has to give consecutive integers because what is added on is 2 3 and 4. Those numbers are consecutive.

Two

k+1, k+2, k+3. See point 2 above. k is a constant and any number. 1,2,3 are consecutive so the results are consecutive. Even if k < 0 the numbers will be consecutive.

k= - 10

k+1 = - 9

k+2 = -8

k+3 = - 7

These are consecutive.

Your first choice will give either consecutive odd or even numbers depending on what k is.

If k = even, then k+6, k+ 8, k+10 will all be even.

If k = odd then the givens will be odd.
