Can someone please help me find the geometric sequence of

Mathematics

Sati [7]3 years ago

Answer:

\boxed{a_{n} = 250(0.4)^{n - 1}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the common ratio

a₁ = 200

a₂ = 100

a₃ =  40

a₄ =   16

The ratios of consecutive pairs are

a₄/a₃ =     16/40  = 0.4

a₃/a₂ =   40/100  = 0.4

a₂/a₁ = 100/200  = 0.5

I think you have made a typo in your question. The first term should be 250. Then,

a₂/a₁ = 100/250  = 0.4

And all adjacent pairs will have the same common ratio, r = 0.4.

Step 2. Write the formula for the series

The formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence is

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

If a₁ = 250, the formula for the series is

\boxed{a_{n} = 250(0.4)^{n - 1}}

The area of a rectangle is 980 in squared. the ratio of the length to the width is 5 : 4. find the length and the width.
ella [17]
Answer:   The length of the rectangle is 35 in.

                 The width of the rectangle is 28 in.
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
The formula for the area, "A", of a rectangle:

Area (A) = length (L) * width (w) ; 
 
  that is:   "  A  =  L  *  w  "  ;

A = 980 in²  (given);

ratio of the length to the width is:  " 5 : 4 " (given); 

→   Find the length (L) and the width (w).
_________________________________________________________

→  980 in²  =  (5x) * (4x) ; 

in which:  " 980 in² " is the area of the triangle; 

                 " 5x" = the length (L) of the rectangle, for which we shall solve; 

                 " 4x" = the width (w) of the rectangle, for which we shall solve.
_______________________________________________________
If we find solve for "x" ; we can solve for  "5x" and "4x" (the "length" and the "width", respectively);  by plugging in the solved value for "x" ; 
_______________________________________________________

   →  980 in²  =  (5x) * (4x) ; 

   ↔   (5x) * (4x) = 980 in²  ; 

   →   (5x) * (4x) = (5) * (4) * (x) * (x)  = 20 * x² = 20x² ;

   →  20x²  =  980 ;

Divide each side by "10" ; by canceling out a "0" on each side of the equation:

   →  2x² = 98 ; 

Now, divide each side of the equation by "2" ;

   → 2x² / 2  =  98 / 2 ; 

to get:  

→  x² = 49 ; 

Now, take the "positive square root" of each side of the equation;  (since a "length or width" cannot be a "negative value") ; 
    to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

→  ⁺√(x²) = √49 ; 

to get:

→  x = 7 ;
______________________________________________________
Now, we can solve for the "length" and the "width" ; 

→  The length is:  "5x" ;   

     5x = 5(7) =  " 35 in " ; 
______________________________________________________
→  The width is:  "4x" ; 

     4x =  4(7) =  "28 in."
______________________________________________________
Let us check our answer:

    →  A = L * w ; 

    →  980 in² = ?  35 in. * 28 in. ?? ; 

   Using a calculator:  "35 * 28 = 980" .  Yes!   ;
____________________________________________________
 { Also note:  " in * in = in² " ?  Yes! } .
