a_{n}= \frac{1}{9}  (3)^{n-1}
(We know this from a=1/9 and r=3)
Simplifying this, we get:
\frac{1}{9} (3)^{-1} (3)^n

Since we're finding the first term that exceeds 1000, let's set it equal to 1000.

\frac{1}{27}(3)^n=1000
Multiplying both sides by 27
3^n=27000

log_{3}27000=n

n≈9.2

We have to round n up, since if n=9, the value would be <1000.
Therefore n=10. Substituting n=10,
\frac{1}{27}3^{10}
=2187

Therefore the first term that exceeds 1000 is 2187, and it is the 10th term

4. Given the line 7x + 6y = 5, do the following.
Annette [7]

Answer:

a- Slope-intercept form (y =  \frac{-7 x}{6\\} + \frac{5}{6})  ::=> 1

b- Slope of Line =  m = \frac{-7}{6}    : From Equation 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a- We have following equation:

7x + 6y = 5

Here if we re-arrange for y:

6y = 5 -7x  :: Compare it with y = mx + b

y =  \frac{-7 x}{6\\} + \frac{5}{6}

b-Compare  y = mx + b and y =  \frac{-7 x}{6\\} + \frac{5}{6}

m= -7/6 and Slope of lines parallel to the given line is shown in the equation
