The first term and common ratio for the geometric sequence are -3 and 5 respectively

<h3>Geometric sequence</h3>

This are sequence that increases exponentially. The nth term of the sequence is given as:

Tn = ar^n-1

where;

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

ar = -15

ar^3 = -375

Divide

r^2 = 375/15

r^2 = 25

r = 5

Determine the first term

a= -15/r

a = -15/5

a = -3

Hence the first term and common ratio for the geometric sequence are -3 and 5 respectively

Miss penny inherits £650. She decides to save some of the money and spend the rest. The ratio of saving to spending money is 9:4
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Saving=£450

Spent=£200

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of saving to spending is 9:4

She inherits £650

So to determine her saving

It will be

9+4=13

Since her saving is 9

So, 9/13 × 650

5850/13

=450

So her saving is£450

To determine what she spent

4/13 × 650

2600/13

200

Saving=£450

Spent=£200

Consider the accompanying matrix as the augmented matrix of a linear system. State in words the next two elementary row operatio
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The next step to solve the system, would be to divide the second row by 3 and we would be left with:  3 * R2

[1 -5 3 0 -2

0 1 -7/3 0 4/3

0 0 1 2 -2]

Then what we will do is multiply row 3 by 7/3 and then subtract it from row 2, that is, R2 - 7/3 * R3, and it would look like this:

[1 -5 3 0 -2

0 1 0 14/3 -10/3

0 0 1 2 -2]

And these would be the next two steps in the process of solving the system.
