Find the common ratio and an explicit form in each of the following geometric sequences.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Margaret [11]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The explicit form is a_{n}=162(2/3)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit form of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_{n}=ar^{n-1}

where an is the nth term, a is the first term of the sequence and r is the common ratio.

In this case:

a=162

The value of the common ratio is obtained by dividing one term by the previous term.

For the first and second terms:

108/162=2/3

For the second and third terms (In order to prove that 2/3 is the common ratio)

72/108=2/3

Therefore:

r=2/3

Replacing a and r in the formula:

a_{n}=162(2/3)^{n-1}

Given 3 sides of a triangle - how to tell it right, acute, or obtuse 8,11, 16
user100 [1]
Using Pythagorean theorem, we can justify our answer.
if c^2 = a^2 + b^2 then triangle is right one,
if c^2 > a^2 + b^2 then triangle is obtuse and
if c^2 < a^2 + b^2 then triangle is acute triangle.

Here a=8, b=11 and c=16
Put these values in the equation
16^2 = 8 ^2 + 11^2
256 = 64 +121
256> 185
So here c^2 > a^2 + b^2  Which means triangle is obtuse triangle.

Answer: Obtuse Triangle

Sylvia plans to place 617 stamps in an album. Each page of the album holds 5 stamps. She uses division to find out how many full
bija089 [108]

Answer:

123 full pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total\ Stamps = 617\ stamps

Each\ Page = 5\ stamps

Required

Determine the number of full page

To do this, we simply divide the total stamps by stamps in each page;

Pages = \frac{Total\ Stamps}{Each\ Page}

Pages = \frac{617}{5}

Pages = 123.4

Then we record only the quotient

The quotient is the digits before the decimal

Pages = 123

<em>Hence, she has 123 full pages</em>

Solve the equation 4(3y-1)-3(2y)=6​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

4(3y - 1) - 3(2y) = 6

Remove backets

12y - 4 - 6y = 6

Group and Evaluate like terms

12y - 6y = 6 + 4

6y = 10

y = 10 \div 6

y = 1.67

y =  \frac{5}{3}
