Find the 8th term of the geometric sequence 5, -15, 45

Mathematics
1 answer:
FrozenT [24]1 year ago

Answer:

a₈ = - 10935

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ (r)^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 5 and r = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} } = \frac{-15}{5} = - 3 , then

a₈ = 5 × (-3)^{7} = 5 × - 2187 = - 10935

(For question 1 you have to do it yourself, get a ruler and measure the actual length of the drawing, then multiply it by 8 to get the actual dimensions in the exercise. )

Example, if you measure 4 inches, the actual dimension will be 4 x 8 = 32 ft

2. (Scale drawing 1:5 is that every 1 (length units) will be equal to 5(length units) in the actual dimensions)

Model : 3ft ; 7m
Actual : 15ft ; 35m (corresponding)

Actual : 20yd ; 12.5 cm
Model : 4yd ; 2.5 cm

6. 1.5 ft = 1.5 x 12 = 18 inches.
The model is 3 inches, and the actual rose is 18 inches -> The scale of the drawing is 6. (enlargement)

Same goes to the scale factor, but this time is the quotient of the corresponding side -> 3 : 18 = 1:6.

(If I got any parts wrong just tell me, I actually kinda forgot these kind of stuff)

the area of a reactangle mirror is 11 11/16 square feet the width of the mirror is 2 2/4 feet. if there is a 5 foot tall space o
77julia77 [94]
So square feet is area which is legnth times width or area=lw or a=lw

width=w=2 2/4
2/4=1/2
w=2 1/2=5/2

a=lw
11 11/16=187/16
187/16=l(5/2)

multiply both sides by 2/5 to clear the fraction (1/2 times 2/1=2/2=1)

374/80=legnth
simplify
374/80=187/40=4 27/40=legnth

legnh must be less than 5 and 4 and 27/40 is less than 5 so it will fit

What is this please help?

Answer:

y = 2/3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The simpliest way to determine the slope of the line is to see the rise over run of the line. In this case, we are given two points which are at (0, -1) and (3,1)

By calculating rise of run, we can see that the starting point goes up by 2 units, from -1 to 1 and goes to the right 3 units, from 0 to 3

In this case, that means we have a slope of 2/3x.

The +b plays into the y-intercept of the line, which is actually the same of one of our points: (0,-1)

Since this number is a negative, it would actually be y = (2/3)x + (-1) which is the same as y=2/3x - 1

Find the factored form of 4x3 – 8x2 – 12x
seraphim [82]
4 x³ - 8 x² - 12 x = 
= 4 x ( x² - 2 x - 3 ) =
= 4 x ( x² - 3 x + x - 3 ) =
= 4 x ( x ( x - 3 ) + ( x - 3 ) ) =
= 4 x ( x - 3 ) ( x + 1 )   ( the factored form )
