Consider the first four terms of the sequence below.

Mathematics

Lelu [443]3 years ago

Answer:

a₈ = -  1 / 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

First four terms of the sequence

a₁= 1, a₂= - 1/2, a₃= 1/4 and a₄= -1/8

First we recognize that this is a geometric series (sequence) and we must calculate quotient q.

q = a₂/a₁ = a₃/a₂ = (-1/2)/1 = (1/4)/(-1/2) = - 1/2

q = - 1/2

Formula for calculating n-th term is:

aₙ = a₁ · qⁿ⁻¹

According to this:

a₈ = 1  (-1/2)⁷ = - 1/ 128

God with you!!!

What is the answer <br> help
ruslelena [56]

Answer: With that assumption, we have a square, whose area is given by the formula Asquare=a2, and two semicircles. The distance D is simply the square's diagonal. The area of each semicircle is given by the formula Asemicircle=π*r2/2. then you will get your answer!

enelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. f(x) = 4x2 + 8x + 1 –1 = 4x2 + 8x –1 = 4(x2
Marat540 [252]
The correct question is
<span>Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square.
f(x) = 4x² + 8x + 1
–1 = 4x² + 8x
–1 = 4(x² + 2x)
–1 + 1 = 4(x² + 2x + 1)
0 = 4(x + 2)²
0 = (x + 2)²
0 = x + 2
–2 = x
What error did Penelope make in her work?

we have that
</span>f(x) = 4x² + 8x + 1
to find the solutions of the quadratic function
let
f(x)=0
 4x² + 8x + 1=0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

 (4x² + 8x)=-1

Factor the leading coefficient 

 4*(x² + 2x)=-1

Complete the square Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

 4*(x² + 2x+1)=-1+4 --------> ( added 4 to both sides)

Rewrite as perfect squares

4*(x+1)²=3

(x+1)²=3/4--------> (+/-)[x+1]=√3/2

(+)[x+1]=√3/2---> x1=(√3/2)-1----> x1=(√3-2)/2

(-)[x+1]=√3/2----> x2=(-2-√3)/2

therefore

the answer is

<span>Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.</span>
