Find a6 of the geometric sequence: a1=4 and a3=36

1 answer:

8 0

Geometric sequence

an=a1(r)^(n-1)
so

given
a1=4
and a3=36

36=a3=4(r)^(3-1)
36=4(r)^2
9=r^2
3=r

an=4(3)^(n-1)
a6 is
a6=4(3)^(6-1)
a6=4(3)^5
a6=4(243)
a6=972

a6=972

cricket20 [7]

It was 150, went down to 100, so it went 50 bucks.

now, if we take 150 as the 100%, what is 50 off of it in percentage?

amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
150&100\\
50&p
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{150}{50}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{50\cdot 100}{150}$
