Answer:

<u>The 15th term is 25/16'777,216</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Aₙ = Aₙ₋₁ ÷ 4; A₁ = 400

A₂ = A₁ ÷ 4 = 400  ÷ 4 = 100

A₃ = A₂÷ 4 = 100  ÷ 4 = 25

A₄ = A₃ ÷ 4 = 25  ÷ 4 = 25/4

A₅ = A₄÷ 4 = 25/4  ÷ 4 = 25/4 * 1/4 = 25/16

A₆ = A₅÷ 4 = 25/16  ÷ 4 = 25/16 * 1/4 = 25/64

A₇ = A₆÷ 4 = 25/64  ÷ 4 = 25/64 * 1/4 = 25/256

A₈ = A₇ ÷ 4 = 25/256  ÷ 4 = 25/256 * 1/4 = 25/1,024

A₉ = A₈÷ 4 = 25/1,024  ÷ 4 = 25/1,024 * 1/4 = 25/4,096

A₁₀ = A₉÷ 4 = 25/4,096  ÷ 4 = 25/4,096 * 1/4 = 25/16,384

A₁₁ = A₁₀ ÷ 4 = 25/16,384  ÷ 4 = 25/16,384 * 1/4 = 25/65,536

A₁₂ = A₁₁ ÷ 4 = 25/65,536  ÷ 4 = 25/65,536 * 1/4 = 25/262,144

A₁₃ = A₁₂ ÷ 4 = 25/262,144  ÷ 4 = 25/262,144 * 1/4 = 25/1'048,576

A₁₄ = A₁₃ ÷ 4 = 25/1'048,576  ÷ 4 = 25/1'048,576 * 1/4 = 25/4'194,304

A₁₅ = A₁₄ ÷ 4 = 25/4'194,304  ÷ 4 = 25/4'194,304 * 1/4 = 25/16'777,216

<u>The 15th term is 25/16'777,216</u>

please help!!! the study conducted was 6 days long: there was 72mm of plant food and it decreased an equal amount each day.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

f(x) = 72 - 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of days of study = 6

Amount of food to use for the 6 days = 72 mm

Given that equal amount of food was used each day, amount used per day = \frac{72}{6} = 12 mm

This would enable us derive a function for the amount of food remaining f(x), which can be expressed as a function of the number of days that have passed, (x).

Thus, we would have:

f(x) = 72 - 12x

Let's check if this equation expresses the relation of the function well.

At the end of day 1, if we used, 12mm, we would have 72 - 12 = 60mm of food remaining.

If we replace x in the equation we derived, we would get the same 60mm as the amount of food remaining.

If you try 2, 3, 4, 5 days, you'd get same thing.

At the end of the study, after the 6th day, the food would remain nothing.

Replace 6 for x in the relation function derived, you'd get a value of 0.

Using a table of values, determine the solution to the equation below to the nearest fourth of a unit. 2^x=1-3^x
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

2^x=1-3^x

To determine the solution of the equation we will substitute the values of 'x' given in the options,

Option (1)

For x = -0.75

2^{-0.75}=1-3^{-0.75}

0.59 = 1 - 0.44

0.59 = 0.56

Since, values on both the sides are approximately same.

Therefore, x = -0.75 will be the answer.

Option (2)

For x = -1.25

2^{-1.25}=1-3^{-1.25}

0.42 = 1 - 0.25

0.42 = 0.75

Which is not true.

Therefore, x = -1.25 is not the answer.

Option (3)

For x = 0.75

2^{0.75}=1-3^{0.75}

1.68 = 1 - 2.28

1.68 = -1.28

Which is not true.

Therefore, x = 0.75 is not the answer.

Option (4)

For x = 1.25

2^{1.25}=1-3^{1.25}

2.38 = 1 - 3.95

2.38 = -2.95

It's not true.

Therefore, x = 1.25 is not the answer.
