Answer:

The given sequence is geometric sequence

In the given pattern we have next number is a_5=\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers are 64,-16,4,-1

To identify the pattern of the given numbers :

Let a_1=64, a_2=-16 ,a_3=4  and a_4=-1

To find the next number that is a_5

common ratio r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}

=\frac{-16}{64}

r=-\frac{1}{4}

r=\frac{a_3}{a_2}

=\frac{4}{-16}

r=-\frac{1}{4}

Therefore the common ration is r=-\frac{1}{4}

Therefore the given sequence is geometric sequence

The nth term of the geometric sequence is a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

Now find the 5th term so put n=5 , a_1=64andr=\frac{-1}{4} we have

a_5=64(\frac{-1}{4})^{5-1}

=64(\frac{-1}{4})^{4}

=64(\frac{1}{4})^{4}

=64(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4})

=\frac{1}{4}

Therefore a_5=\frac{1}{4}

Please explain how to solve this problem

Answer:

  • 100 pounds Earl Grey
  • 300 pounds Orange Pekoe

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of Earl Gray tea in the mix. Then the total cost of the mix is ...

  6x +4(400-x)=4.50(400)

  2x +1600 = 1800 . . . . . . . simplify

  2x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1600

  x = 100 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2. Pounds of Earl Grey

  (400 -x) = 300 . . . . . Pounds of Orange Pekoe

The blend should have 100 pounds of Earl Grey and 300 pounds of Orange Pekoe.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

It is easy to show that the relationship between the quantities of high-cost (H) and low-cost (L) items in the mix (M) is ...

  fraction of mix that is H is (M -L)/(H -L)

Here, we have H=6, L=4, M=4.5, so the fraction of the mix that is Earl Grey is ...

  (4.5 -4)/(6 -4) = 0.5/2 = 0.25

There are 400 pounds of mix, so 0.25(400) = 100 pounds is Earl Grey.

The solution above is essentially 2-step, so using this relation doesn't necessarily save any steps. It just makes it possible to solve the problem in your head.
