The common ratio is,
r= 450/300 = 3/2


nth term of geometric series is given by,
a_{n} = a₁r^{n-1}
a₂₀ = 300(3/2)¹⁹ = 665051

Answer:

the population be on Week 20 is about 665,051

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth of a bug population shows a geometric sequence as shown in the table

For all geometric sequence , there should be a common ratio

Lets find common ratio 'r'

To find common ratio we divide second term by first term

so common ratio r= \frac{450}{300} =\frac{3}{2}

To find nth term of geometric sequence , formula is

a_n = a_1(r)^{n-1}

Where a1 is the first term  and r is the common difference

a1= 300 and r= 3/2

We need to find the population on Week 20, so n= 20

We plug in all the values and find out a20

a_{20} = 300(\frac{3}{2})^{20-1}

a_{20} = 300(\frac{3}{2})^{19}=300*2216.83782=665051.346

the population be on Week 20 is about 665,051

Lostsunrise [7]
A rate is a non simplified ratio so a rate could be

4:2=rate
the UNIT rate=the simplest for or 2:1

so exg
300 jumps in 3 days=rate
100 jumps per day=unit rate

I need help with this math lesson ​

Answer:

9,375

Step-by-step explanation:

Each number is multiplied by 5 to get the next number. We can see this by testing multiple number on this set of data.

3*5=15

15*5=75

75*5=375.

Thus, to find the next term in the set of data, we must multiply the last number that we are given by 5.

1875*5=9,375

The next number is 9,375

Hope this helps!

Since the scale factor is smaller than one (the original), the resulting image is smaller than the original.
