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

Rewrite 3/35 and 1/10 so they have common denominators
Aleks [24]

Answer:

\frac{6}{70} and \frac{7}{70}

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of 35 and 10 is 70.

35×2=70

10×7=70

You got to multiply 3 with 2 and 1 with 7 to make 6/70 and 7/70.

the starving actors guild holds its annual winter arts festival in hopes of raising $13,344 by selling 824 tickets. The guild ch
kap26 [50]
A + c = 824                             represents number of tickets to sell
20a + 12c = 13,344                represents cost of each type of ticket

multiply equation 1 by -12 to cancel the variable 'c' and solve for 'a'

-12(a + c = 824)

-12a - 12c = - 9888
 20a + 12c = 13,344         add equations together
-----------------------------
    8a          = 3456           divide both sides by 8
     a = 432

To find children's tickets substitute adult numbers back into equation 1.
a + c = 824
432 + c = 824
subtract 432 from both sides
c = 392

adult 432, children 392
