Answer:
a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.
Answer: -0.82
b) Find the sum to infinity of this sequence.
Answer: 2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
nth term in geometric series is given by ![4\ th \ term = ar^n-1\\-2.196 = 4r^{4-1} \\-2.196/4 = r^{3} \\r = \sqrt[3]{0.549} \\r = 0.82](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%5C%20th%20%5C%20term%20%3D%20ar%5En-1%5C%5C-2.196%20%3D%204r%5E%7B4-1%7D%20%5C%5C-2.196%2F4%20%3D%20r%5E%7B3%7D%20%5C%5Cr%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B0.549%7D%20%5C%5Cr%20%3D%200.82)
where
a is the first term
r is the common ratio and
n is the nth term

given
a = 4
4th term = -2.196
let
common ratio of this sequence. be r
![4\ th \ term = ar^n-1\\-2.196 = 4r^{4-1} \\-2.196/4 = r^{3} \\r = \sqrt[3]{-0.549} \\r = -0.82](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%5C%20th%20%5C%20term%20%3D%20ar%5En-1%5C%5C-2.196%20%3D%204r%5E%7B4-1%7D%20%5C%5C-2.196%2F4%20%3D%20r%5E%7B3%7D%20%5C%5Cr%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B-0.549%7D%20%5C%5Cr%20%3D%20-0.82)
a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.
answer: -0.82
sum of infinity of geometric sequence is given by = a/(1-r)
thus,
sum to infinity of this sequence = 4/(1-(-0.82) = 4/1.82 = 2.2
24 * 5 = 120
120 + 6 = 126 - total cost - meals and service
6/126 *100% = 4,76%
service charge was 4,76% of total costs.
Answer:
y = -1/4x^2 - x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(-6,0)
(-4,3)
(2,0)
36a - 6b + c = 0
16a -4b + c = 3
4a + 2b + c = 0
c = -4a - 2b
36a - 6b - 4a -2b = 0
16a - 4b -4a - 2b = 3
32a -8b = 0
12a - 6b = 3
4a - b = 0
4a - 2b = 1
b = -1
4a + 1 = 0
4a = -1
a = -1/4
c = 1 + 2 = 3
y = -1/4x^2 - x + 3
