Let <em>a</em> be the first term in the sequence. If <em>r</em> is the ratio between consecutive terms, then the second term is <em>ar</em>, the third term is <em>ar </em>^2, the fourth is <em>ar</em> ^3, and so on, up to the <em>n</em>-th term <em>ar</em> ^(<em>n</em> - 1).
So the third, fourth, and fifth terms are such that
<em>ar</em> ^2 = 18
<em>ar</em> ^3 = 27
<em>ar</em> ^4 = 81/2
Solve for <em>a</em> and <em>r</em> :
(<em>ar</em> ^3) / (<em>ar</em> ^2) = 27/18 => <em>r</em> = 3/2
<em>ar</em> ^2 = <em>a</em> (3/2)^2 = 9/4 <em>a</em> = 18 => <em>a</em> = 8
Then the <em>n</em>-th term in the sequence is
<em>ar</em> ^(<em>n</em> - 1) = 9 (3/2)^(<em>n</em> - 1)
You can rewrite this by first rewriting 9 = 3^2, then
9 (3/2)^(<em>n</em> - 1) = 3^2 * 3^(<em>n</em> - 1) / 2^(<em>n</em> - 1) = 3^(<em>n</em> + 1)/2^(<em>n</em> - 1)
Chance coins have a greater mass because the coin mass of a quarter is 5.67 you multiply by 8, which is the number of quaters you have and you get 45.36 grams. if you do the same with the dollar coins, meaning you multiply the the mass by the number of coins, you should get 40.5 grams.
Answer: There's no answer choices but the exact value is -3±2√5
Step-by-step explanation:
If you would like to know which of the following steps should be performed to eliminate variable d first, you can find this using the following steps:
equation a: 2c = d - 8 /*(-3)
equation b: c = 3d + 8
__________________
-6c = -3d + 24
c = 3d + 8
__________________
-6c + c = -3d + 24 + 3d + 8
-5c = 32
5c = -32
c = -32/5
<span>The correct result would </span>be: <span>multiply equation a by −3.</span>
Answer:
the answer is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because the interest rate is if he had $1 in the account for a year you would add the 18% or in decimel form 0.0018 do that to the 15th to get 15 years and multiply that by 5000 because that was the ammount of money he put in so 5000(1*0.0018)15 or 0.0018^15*5000
