Answer:
1. 15
2. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The two sequence are geometric progression GP, because they follow a constant multiple (common ratio)
The nth term of a GP is;
Tn = ar^(n-1)
Where;
a = first term
r = common ratio
For the first sequence;
The common ratio r is
r = T3/T2 = 540/90 = 6
r = 6
T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar
T2 = 90 = ar
Substituting the values of r;
90 = a × 6
a = 90/6
a = 15
First term = 15
2. The sam method applies here.
Common ratio r = T3/T2 = 128/32 = 4
r = 4
T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar
T2 = 32 = ar
Substituting the values of r;
32 = a × 4
a = 32/4
a = 8
First term = 8
This year
2:7
18:?
well 2*9=18
so 7*9=63
18/63
(18+63=total 81 students)
Last year
1/8
multiply by 9
9/72
9 less students this year
Answer:
5.7 5.6 5.5 5.4 5.3 5.2 5.1 5 4.9 4.8 and so on.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording "fewer than" is translated to the math symbol "less than". The variable n represents the number of students.
<em>the number of students</em> is fewer than 18
translates to ...
n < 18
__
The wording "at least" translates to the math symbol "greater than or equal to."
<em>the number of students</em> is at least 15
translates to ...
n ≥ 15
