Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Fifth term of a geometric sequence = 
Common ratio (r) = ¼
Required:
Formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence
Solution:
Step 1: find the first term of the sequence
Formula for nth term of a geometric sequence = 
, where:
a = first term
r = common ratio = ¼
Thus, we are given the 5th term to be ¹/16, so n here = 5.
Input all these values into the formula to find a, the first term.
Cross multiply
Divide both sides by 16
Step 2: input the value of a and r to find the nth term formula of the sequence
nth term =
nth term = 
Answer:
the first one
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 11x
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
Let L be the length of rectangle B
There are two copies of L (along the top and bottom of the rectangle). The vertical pairs of sides are both 7x each.
For the triangle, we have three sides of 12x since this is an equilateral triangle. All three sides are congruent for any equilateral triangle.
The perimeter of the triangle is
P = s1+s2+s3
P = 12x+12x+12x
P = 36x
The perimeter of the rectangle is
P = 2*L+2*W
P = 2L+2*7x
P = 2L+14x
Since both perimeters are the same, this means
perimeter of triangle = perimeter of rectangle
36x = 2L+14x
36x-14x = 2L+14x-14x
22x = 2L
2L = 22x
2L/2 = 22x/2
L = 11x
So the length of the rectangle, in terms of x, is 11x. This is the final answer.
Note: if we knew the value of x, then we could find the numeric value of the length for the rectangle. But since we don't know x, we leave it as 11x.
linear inequality
The solution of a linear inequality is the ordered pair that is a solution to all inequalities in the system and the graph of the linear inequality is the graph of all solutions of the system
