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

Mathematics
1 answer:
FrozenT [24]2 years ago
6 0

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

Answer:

The equation is:

y= -2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to solve this:

You could do very long algebra but you could  also just plug in your information and make life easy for yourself.

Start of by plugging in your slope into the equation. (due to y=mx+b, m= slope=-2)

y= -2x + _

Then plug in the co-ordinates give.

(1) = -2(1) + z

Then solve for z

1 = -2 +z

+2  +2

z= 3

Then plug all your information in to get

y= -2x +3

A ball rolls down an inclined plane such that the distance (in centimeters) that it rolls in t seconds is given by s(t) = 2t^3 +
IRISSAK [1]
The ball's velocity will be represented by the derivative of its distance function:

s'(t)=6t^2+6t

Now find the times t for which this is equal to 30, i.e. solve

6t^2+6t=30\implies t^2+t-5=0

This has two solutions, t=-\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{21}}2, but only one is positive and falls in the interval [0,3]. So the velocity reaches 30 cm/s when t=-\dfrac{1-\sqrt{21}}2\approx1.79.

-2(6x + 5) = 74<br> Can you solve this for me?
Law Incorporation [45]

−2(6x+5)=74

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(6x+5)=74

−2 x 6x−2 x 5=74

−12x−10=74

Add 10 to both sides.

−12x−10=74

      +10 +10

−12x=84

Divide both sides by -12.

−12x = 84

/−12   /-12

x=-7

hope it helps!
