Answer:  The required fourth term of the geometric sequence is \dfrac{10}{9}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of the fourth term in a geometric sequence with first term and common ratio as follows :

a(1)=30,~~~~~r=\dfrac{1}{2}.

We know that

the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r given by

a(n)=a(1)r^{n-1}.

Therefore, the fourth term of the given geometric sequence will be

a(4)=a(1)r^{4-1}=30\times r^3=30\times\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^3=\dfrac{30}{27}=\dfrac{10}{9}.

Thus, the required fourth term of the geometric sequence is \dfrac{10}{9}.

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
n=4\\
a_1=30\\
r=\frac{1}{2}
\end{cases}\implies a_4=30\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{4-1}

Li rolls a number cube labeled 1 to 6 a total of 24 times. How many times can she expect to roll a 1
scoundrel [369]

Li can expect to roll a one 4 times.

Since there are six possibilities (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6), you divide 24 and 6 to get 4.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!! I CANNOT RETAKE THIS!! <br><br> Subtract.
kherson [118]

Since there's a common denominator, you can go straight into subtracting,

so for the top,  x^2 + 8x - x^2 -2x + 6 will simplify to -6x -6 which with the bottom can be reduced (dividing everything by 3) to 2x - 2/x^2 + x
