nth term for the geometric sequence 4,8,16,... is $a_n=4(2)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write an equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence: 4, 8, 16 . . .

The formula to find the nth term of geometric sequence is

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

Where a_n is nth term

a_1 is 1st term

and r is common ratio

Finding a_1 and r in the sequence 4,8,16,...

$a_1=4\\r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}\\r=\frac{8}{4}\\r=2$

So, common ratio r is: 2 and a_1 is 4

The nth term is:

$a_n=4(2)^{n-1}$

So, nth term for the geometric sequence 4,8,16,... is $a_n=4(2)^{n-1}$

Need the answer to this

Answer:

4.5 per package

Step-by-step explanation:

Though they give us 4 different pairs of values on the table, we only need 1 pair to solve this question. For simplicity, lets chose the pair of whole numbers:

54 : 12

This is the ration of servings to packages, or the servings per package.

To get our answer, we must find how many servings per 1 package, so we need to divide by 12:

$\frac{54}{12} : \frac{12}{12}$

4.5 : 1

This means that there are 4.5 servings per 1 package!

Hope this helps!

30 points if helped, question in the picture

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{2 + \sqrt{3} } \times \frac{2 - \sqrt{3} }{2 - \sqrt{3} } = \frac{2(2 - \sqrt{3} )}{1} = 4 - 2 \sqrt{3}$

What is the volume of a cone with 9cm height and 15cm radius <br> V=1/3pi*r^2*h<br> Use 3.14 for pi

zlopas [31]

First replace all variables with the respective numbers.

V = (1/3) x 3.14 x 15^2 x 9

according to PEMDAS, work out your exponent next

V = (1/3) x 3.14 x 225 x 9

multiply

V = 1.04667 x 225 x 9

V = 235.5 x 9

V= 2,119.5

ANSWER: the volume is 2,119.5 cm

– x + 7 = 13<br> X = ?<br> What is X

IRISSAK [1]

X = -6

-x + 7 = 13, subtract 7 from both sides.
then you have -x = 6, and you have to device by negative 1 on both sides because you can’t have a negative x value. then you have x = -6.
hope this helps!
