Sequence: 5/2, 5/4, 5/8, 5/16
a8=?

a1=5/2
a2=5/4
a3=5/8
a4=5/16

a2/a1=(5/4)/(5/2)=(5/4)*(2/5)=(5*2)/(4*5)=2/4=1/2
a3/a2=(5/8)/(5/4)=(5/8)*(4/5)=(5*4)/(8*5)=4/8=1/2
a4/a3=(5/16)/(5/8)=(5/16)*(8/5)=(5*8)/(16*5)=8/16=1/2
Ratio: r=a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3→r=1/2

an=a1*r^(n-1)
a1=5/2, r=1/2
an=(5/2)*(1/2)^(n-1)
an=(5/2)*[1^(n-1)/2^(n-1)]
an=(5/2)*[1/2^(n-1)]
an=(5*1)/[2*2^(n-1)]
an=5/2^(1+n-1)
an=5/2^n

n=8→a8=5/2^8
a8=5/256

Answers:
The formula for the general term or nth term for the sequence is an=5/2^n
a8=5/256

Which expression is the completely factored form of x6−64y3 ?
ss7ja [257]

We are given this

x^6 -64y^3

write it as the difference of cubes

(x^2)^3 -(4y)^3

use the formula for the difference of cubes

(x^2-4y) ((x^2)^2+x^2*4y+(4y)^2)

Now use the formula for the difference of squares as 4y = (2\sqrt{y} )^2

(x-2\sqrt{y}) (x+2\sqrt{y}) (x^4+4x^2y+16y^2)
