Answer:

A term at position n can be expressed as \[2*3^{n-1}\]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given geometric sequence is 2, 6, 18, 54, …

Starting term = 2

Second term = 6

So second term is 3 times the first term.

Similarly, Third term = 18

This is 3 times the second term, that is , 3 * 6

Fourth term is is 54.

This is 3 times the third term, that is , 3 * 18

Generalizing, a term in the sequence can be expressed as \[2*3^{n-1}\]

where n represents the position of the term in the sequence.

Dr. Brown did 6 experiments at 7AM. Dr. Rachal did 8 experiments at 6PM. They both had 564 tools each. Dr. Brown used 386 and Dr

devlian [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tools for both = 564.

Dr Brown used 386 tools for 6 experiments.

average number of tools per experiment used by Dr Brown = $\frac{386}{6}$

= 64 $\frac{1}{3}$

Dr Rachal used 236 tools for 8 experiments.

average number of tools per experiment used by Dr Rachal = $\frac{236}{8}$

= 29 $\frac{1}{2}$

i. The number of more experiment that can be done by Dr Brown = (564 - 386) ÷ (64 $\frac{1}{3}$ )

= 2.7668

Dr Brown can do two more experiments.

The number of more experiments that can be done by Dr Rachal = (564 - 236) ÷ (29 $\frac{1}{2}$ )

= 11.1186

Dr Rachal can do 11 more experiments.

ii. Number of tools left after Dr Brown's experiments = 564 - 386

= 178

Number of tools left after Dr Rachal's experiments = 564 - 236

= 328
