Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence

aₙ=a₁*rⁿ⁻¹

a₆=10*.5⁶⁻¹

a₆=10*.5⁵

a₆=10*(1/2)⁻⁵

a₆=10*1/32

a₆=10/32=5/16

Solve each equation by taking square roots 8v^2 +3=35

makvit [3.9K]

$8v^2 +3=35$

$8v^2=35-3

 
$ $Subtract \ 3 \ from \ both \ sides$

$
8v^2=32
 
$

$v^2= \dfrac{32}{8}$ $Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 8$

$v^2=4$

$
v=+ \sqrt{4} 
 
$ $Take \ the \ square \ root \ of \ both \ sides$

$
v=+2
 

 
$ $\ Since \ 2*2=4, \ the \ square \ root \ of \ 4 \ is \ 2$
