Find an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence.The second and fifth terms of a geometric sequence are 18 and 144, respec

vova2212 [387]

Given:

second term = 18

fifth term = 144

The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

$\begin{gathered} a_n\text{ = ar}^{n-1} \\ Where\text{ a is the first term} \\ r\text{ is the common ratio} \end{gathered}$

Hence, we have:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ar}^{2-1}\text{ = 18} \\ ar\text{ = 18} \\ \\ ar^{5-1}=\text{ 144} \\ ar^4\text{ =144} \end{gathered}$

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

$\begin{gathered} \frac{ar^4}{ar}\text{ = }\frac{144}{18} \\ r^3\text{ = }\frac{144}{18} \\ r\text{ = 2} \end{gathered}$

Substituting the value of r into any of the expression:

$\begin{gathered} ar\text{ = 18} \\ a\text{ }\times\text{ 2 = 18} \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 2} \\ \frac{2a}{2}\text{ =}\frac{18}{2} \\ a\text{ = 9} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the explicit rule for the sequence is:

$a_n\text{ = 9\lparen2\rparen}^{n-1}$

Use the identity (x2+y2)2=(x2−y2)2+(2xy)2 to determine the sum of the squares of two numbers if the difference of the squares of

fomenos

Answer:

The sum of the squares of two numbers whose difference of the squares of the numbers is 5 and the product of the numbers is 6 is 169

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : the difference of the squares of the numbers is 5 and the product of the numbers is 6.

We have to find the sum of the squares of two numbers whose difference and product is given using given identity,

$(x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2-y^2)^2+(2xy)^2$

Since, given the difference of the squares of the numbers is 5 that is $(x^2-y^2)^2=5$

And the product of the numbers is 6 that is $xy=6$

Using identity, we have,

$(x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2-y^2)^2+(2xy)^2$

Substitute, we have,

$(x^2+y^2)^2=(5)^2+(2(6))^2$

Simplify, we have,

$(x^2+y^2)^2=25+144$

$(x^2+y^2)^2=169$

Thus, the sum of the squares of two numbers whose difference of the squares of the numbers is 5 and the product of the numbers is 6 is 169

Given the recursive formula: a1=3 An=2(an-1+1) Find a2 a3 a4

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

$a_2 = 8$

$a_3 = 18$

$a_4 = 38$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following recursive formula:

$a_n = 2(a_{n-1}+1)$

And consider $a_1 = 3$

$a_2 = 2(a_1 + 1) = 2(3 + 1) = 8$

$a_3 = 2(a_2 + 1) = 2(8 + 1) = 18$

$a_4 = 2(a_3 + 1) = 2(18 + 1) = 38$
