If it's a geometric sequence then:

$a_1=27;\ a_2=27\\\\r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}\to r=\dfrac{27}{36}=\dfrac{3}{4}=0.75\\\\a_{n+1}=a_nr\\\\a_3=27\cdot0.75=20.25\ CORRECT$

We calculate the fourth and fifth term of the sequence:

$a_4=a_3r\to a_4=20.25\cdot0.75=15.1875\\\\a_5=a_4r\to a_5=15.1875\cdot0.75=11.390625$

Answer:

In year 4 15.1875 animals.

In year 5 11.390625 animals.

Show that if u+v and u-v are orthognal, then the vectors u and v must have the same length.

pashok25 [27]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

u+ v and u-v are orthogonal

We have to prove that u and v must have the same length.

When two vector a and b are orthogonal then

$a\cdot b=0$

By using the property

$(u+v)\cdot (u-v)=0$

We know that

$(a+b)\cdot (a-b)=\mid a\mid^2-\mid b\mid^2$

$\mid u\mid ^2-\mid v\mid^2=0$

$\mid u\mid^2=\mid v\mid^2$

Magnitude is always positive

When power of base on both sides are equal then base will be equal

Therefore,

$\mid u\mid=\mid v\mid$

Hence, the length of vectors u and v must have the same length.

Which polynomial equations have -i as one of their roots?

pochemuha

I = sqrt(-1)
i^2 = -1
(-i)^2 = (-i)(-i) = i^2 = -1
(-i)^3 = (-i)(-i)(-i) = (-i)(i^2) = i

use these facts to find which equation is correct if x = -i

i bet on 2,3 or 4
