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

How do I find this help please
KIM [24]
Area of the sector = 1/2 * r^2 * theta where theta is the angle subtended by the arc at the center  ( in radians)

In this case m < theta = 360 - 235 = 125 degrees or  2.182 radians

So, the area of shaded area = 1/2 * 20^2 * 2.182 =   436.4 in^2

3 times the first of three consecutive odd integers is 3 more than twice the third? what is the third integer
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between consecutive integers is 1.

The difference between consecutive odd integers is 2.

Let the smallest odd integer be x.

Then the next greater one is x + 2. The greatest one is x + 4.

"3 times the first" is 3x

"twice the third" is 2(x + 4)

"3 times the first of three consecutive odd integers is 3 more than twice the third"

3x = 2(x + 4) + 3

3x = 2x + 8 + 3

x = 11

The smallest integer is 11.

x + 4 = 11 + 4 = 15

The greatest one is 15.
