Given:
second term = 18
fifth term = 144
The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

Hence, we have:

Divide the expression for the fifth term by the expression for the second term:

Substituting the value of r into any of the expression:

Hence, the explicit rule for the sequence is:
Answer; there is literally no solution. it has to be a negative number.
Answer:
Assuming data is from population, 0.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution: We are given that the population of Virginia is 8 million.
Let x be the population of Nevada.
We are given population of Virginia is 2.8 million less than 4 times the population of Nevada.




The first step is to on both sides.
add 2.8
The second step is to on both sides.
divide 4
The population of Nevada is million.
2.7
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
a. % of people who smoke = no. of people who smoke ÷ total no. of people surveyed × 100
Total no. of people who smoke is given = 4 + 36 = 40
Total people surveyed = 200
% of people who smoke = 
a. % of people who do not exercise regularly = no. of people who do not exercise regularly ÷ total no. of people surveyed × 100
Total no. of people who do not exercise regularly = 36 + 134 = 170
Total people surveyed = 200
% of people who smoke =
