The first term is 612.

The common ratio is 1.08 and

The recursive rule is $a_{n} = a^{n-1} \times r$

Step-by-step explanation:

the question to the problem is to write the values of the first term, common ratio, and expression for the recursive rule.

The first term :

In geometric sequence, the first term is given as $a_{1}$ .

⇒ $a_{1} = 612$

Now, the geometric sequence follows as 612, 661, ........

The common ratio (r) :

It is the ratio between two consecutive numbers in the sequence.

Therefore, to determine the common ratio, you just divide the number from the number preceding it in the sequence.

⇒ r = 661 divided by 612

⇒ r = 1.08

To find the recursive rule :

A geometric series is of the form a,ar,ar2,ar3,ar4,ar5........

Here, first term $a_{1} = a$ and other terms are obtained by multiplying by r.

Observe that each term is r times the previous term.
Hence to get nth term we multiply (n−1)th term by r .

The recursive rule is of the form $a_{n} = a^{n-1} \times r$

This is called recursive formula for geometric sequence.

We know that r = 1.08 and $a_{1}$ = 612.

To find the second term $a_{2}$ , use the recursive rule $a_{n} = a^{n-1} \times r$

⇒ $a_{2} = a^{2-1}\times r$

⇒ $a_{2} = a^{1}\times r$

⇒ $a_{2} = 612\times 1.08$

⇒ $a_{2} = 661$

What is 20% of 55? I need help PLEASE!

Assoli18 [71]

20% of 55 is 11

Convert your percentage into a decimal:
$\frac{20}{100} = 0.2$

Multiply your decimal by 55:
$0.2 \times 55 = 11$

Which of the following expressions are equivalent? Justify your reasoning.. . a.4√x3. . 1. x−1. . b.10√x5•x4•x2. . c.x. 1. 3. •x

sladkih [1.3K]

A ) $\sqrt[4]{ x^{3} } = x^{3/4}$
B ) $\frac{1}{ x^{-1} } = x$
C ) $\sqrt[10]{ x^{5} * x^{4}* x^{2} } = \sqrt[10]{ x^{11} }= x^{11/10}$
D ) $x^{1/3} * x^{1/3} * x^{1/3} = x$
Therefore: B = D
