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

Mathematics
1 answer:
FrozenT [24]1 year 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

Frank cut a 52 inch string into 3 pieces. The first piece is 20 inches long. The second piece is at least 12 inches long, but no
Eddi Din [679]
We need to figure out how much string would be left, after taking away the first two pieces.
We know that the first piece is 20 inches long, so we can say that there is 52-20 inches left, or 32 inches.

The second piece is between 12 and 18 inches, meaning that there would be between 32-12 and 32-18 inches left for the third piece, or 20 and 14 inches. This means that the third piece would be at least 14 inches long, but no more than 20, since we don’t have more string than that (20+12+20=52, and 20+14+18=52)

So we can say that x is greater or equal to 14, but less than or equal to 20, or:

14<=x<=20 (“<=“ is written like a normal “<“ sign with a line _ right under it)

maw [93]
The answer is 75/5 * 1/3 because 75/5 is the price of 1 shirt, and 1/3 but I don't know how it's 1/3. I got 75/5 * 3 but the closest answer was C.

Hope this helped☺☺
