What is the explicit rule for this sequence? -5, 15, – 45, 135, ...

Mathematics

hoa [83]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

an = a1r^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the given sequence,

a1 = - 5

r = 15/- 5 = - 3

Therefore, the explicit rule for this sequence is

an = - 5(- 3)^n - 1

What is. - 3 7/8 × - 4 3/5 help please
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

713/40 or as mixed fraction of 17 33/40 (see setps below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-(3 + 7/8) (-(4 + 3/5))

Hint: | Multiply all instances of -1 in -(3 + 7/8) (-(4 + 3/5)).

(-1)^2 = 1:

(4 + 3/5) (3 + 7/8)

Hint: | Put the fractions in 3 + 7/8 over a common denominator.

Put 3 + 7/8 over the common denominator 8. 3 + 7/8 = (8×3)/8 + 7/8:

(4 + 3/5) (8×3)/8 + 7/8

Hint: | Multiply 8 and 3 together.

8×3 = 24:

(4 + 3/5) (24/8 + 7/8)

Hint: | Add the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.

24/8 + 7/8 = (24 + 7)/8:

(4 + 3/5) (24 + 7)/8

Hint: | Evaluate 24 + 7 using long addition.

| 1 |  

| 2 | 4

+ | | 7

| 3 | 1:

(4 + 3/5)×31/8

Hint: | Put the fractions in 4 + 3/5 over a common denominator.

Put 4 + 3/5 over the common denominator 5. 4 + 3/5 = (5×4)/5 + 3/5:

31/8 (5×4)/5 + 3/5

Hint: | Multiply 5 and 4 together.

5×4 = 20:

((20/5 + 3/5)×31)/8

Hint: | Add the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.

20/5 + 3/5 = (20 + 3)/5:

31/8 (20 + 3)/5

Hint: | Evaluate 20 + 3.

20 + 3 = 23:

23/5×31/8

Hint: | Express 23/5×31/8 as a single fraction.

23/5×31/8 = (23×31)/(5×8):

(23×31)/(5×8)

Hint: | Multiply 5 and 8 together.

5×8 = 40:

(23×31)/40

Hint: | Multiply 23 and 31 together.

| 3 | 1

× | 2 | 3

| 9 | 3

6 | 2 | 0

7 | 1 | 3:

Answer: 713/40

________________________________________

Convert to a mixed number:

713/40

Hint: | Use long division to get a quotient and remainder.

Divide 713 by 40:

4 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 3

Hint: | How many times does 40 go into 71?

40 goes into 71 at most one time:

| | | 1 | |  

4 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 3 |  

| - | 4 | 0 | |  

| | 3 | 1 | 3 |  

Hint: | How many times does 40 go into 313?

40 goes into 313 at most 7 times:

| | | 1 | 7 |  

4 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 3 |  

| - | 4 | 0 | |  

| | 3 | 1 | 3 |  

| - | 2 | 8 | 0 |  

| | | 3 | 3 |  

Hint: | Summarize the results.

Read off the results. The quotient is the number at the top and the remainder is the number at the bottom:

| | | 1 | 7 | (quotient)

4 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 3 |  

| - | 4 | 0 | |  

| | 3 | 1 | 3 |  

| - | 2 | 8 | 0 |  

| | | 3 | 3 | (remainder)

Hint: | In the equivalent mixed fraction, the quotient becomes the whole number part, the remainder becomes the numerator part, and the divisor (denominator) remains the denominator.

The quotient of 713/40 is 17 with remainder 33, so:

Which calculation will ALWAYS give a result greater than 1? A.5 × a number less than 1 B.4/9+ a fraction less than 12 C. 1 3/4 -
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

  C.  1 3/4 - (a fraction less than 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your number sense should be able to help you with this one.

A. 5 × 1/10 = 1/2, not a number greater than 1

B. 4/9 + 1/3 = 7/9, not a number greater than 1

C. 1 3/4 -1/2 = 1 1/4, a number greater than 1 (see below for more explanation)

D. 7/8 × 1/2 = 7/16, not a number greater than 1.

__

<em>More explanation</em>

Let x represent a number less than 3/4. Then we want to make sure that ...

  y = 1 3/4 - x

will be greater than 1.

Solving for x, we get ...

  x = 1 3/4 - y

Applying the requirement that x < 3/4, we have ...

  x < 3/4

  (1 3/4 -y) < 3/4

  1 3/4 < y + 3/4 . . . . . . add y

  1 < y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3/4

We see that the condition on x makes sure that y is always greater than 1.
