Find the 6th term of a geometric sequence t3 = 444 and t7 = 7104. So I have to find r. But is this right: 7104 = 444r^4 r^4 = 16

r = 2 Or should it be r^3? I'm never sure if the power is = the number of terms missing or something completely unrelated.

Third term = t3 = ar^2 = 444           eq. (1)

Seventh term = t7 = ar^6 = 7104         eq. (2)

By solving (1) and (2) we get,

              ar^2 = 444    

                => a = 444 / r^2       eq. (3)

And  ar^6 = 7104

 (444/r^2)r^6 = 7104

 444 r^4 = 7104

 r^4 = 7104/444

            = 16

 r2 = 4

 r = 2

Substitute r value in (3)

                         a = 444 / r^2

                             = 444  / 2^2

                             = 444 / 4

                              = 111

Therefore a = 111 and r = 2

Therefore t6 = ar^5

                       = 111(2)^5

                       = 111(32)

                       = 3552.

<span>Therefore the 6th term in the geometric series is 3552.</span>

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

72000

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 120,000 by 0.6 OR multiply 120,000 by 0.4 and subtract 120,000 by the product.

Both equal 72,000

Given that ABC~LMN<br> What is the length of AC?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

B. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the value of x

The side lengths of two similar triangles are always proportional.

Given that ∆ABC ~ ∆LMN, therefore:

\frac{AB}{LM} = \frac{AC}{LN}

AB = 5

LM = 10

AC = x + 5

LN = 3x + 3

Plug in the values

\frac{5}{10} = \frac{x + 5}{3x + 3}

Cross multiply

5(3x + 3) = 10(x + 5)

15x + 15 = 10x + 50 (distributive property)

Collect like terms

15x - 10x = -15 + 50

5x = 35

Divide both sides by 5

x = 7

✔️Find AC

AC = x + 5

Plug in the value of x

AC = 7 + 5

AC = 12
