Which of the following graphs of exponential functions corresponds to a geometric sequence with a first term of 4 and a ratio of

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: graph E.

A geometric sequence can be written as:

$a_{n} = a_{1} \cdot r^{(n - 1)}$

where:

a₁ = first term = 4

r = ratio = 0.5

Substituting the numbers, we have:

$a_{n} = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}$

or else

$f(x) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{x - 1}$

This is an exponential function with base less than 1. Therefore, we can exclude graph C (which depicts a linear function), and graphs A and D (which depict an exponential function with base greater than 1).

In order to choose between graph B and E, let's evaluate the function in two different points:

$f(1) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{1 - 1} = 4$

$f(2) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{2 - 1} = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 2$

Therefore, we need to look for the graph passing through the points (1, 4) and (2, 2). That is graph E.

How does adding the log together automatically mean that it is a factorial?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The answer is given below.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given an equality involving logarithm and we are to show the implication of L.H.S. to R.H.S.

We will be using the following two properties of logarithm:

$(i)~\log_ba=\dfrac{1}{\log_ab},\\\\\\(ii)~log_ab+\log_ac=\log_a(bc).$

The proof is as follows:

$L.H.S.\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{\log_2N}+\dfrac{1}{\log_3N}+\dfrac{1}{\log_4N}+\cdots+\dfrac{1}{\log_{100}N}\\\\\\=\log_N2+\logN3+\log_N4+\cdots+\log_N100\\\\=\log_N\{2.3.4...100\}\\\\=\log_N\{1.2.3.4...100\}\\\\=\log_N{100!}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{\log_{100!}N}\\\\=R.H.S.$
