Can someone please help me find the geometric sequence of

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sati [7]2 years ago
4 0

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}}

Which of the following describes the transformation from Figure 1 to Figure 2?
Mrrafil [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  Rotation 90° CCW

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that Figure 1 has a small appendage off the larger rectangle. That appendage is pointing East (to the right).

In Figure 2, that same appendage is pointing North (up).

If you are facing East and you want to face North, you will find that you need to turn 90° in the counterclockwise direction. That is the transformation that was done here:

  rotation 90° CCW about the origin

One cell phone plan charges 20$ per month plus$0.15 per minute used.
maw [93]
So for the first one... Let's just use x for months and m for minutes.

(20m)+(.15m)

20 times the number of months plus .15 times the number of minutes

Same for the next one

(35x)+ (.10m)

35 times the number of months +.10 times the minutes.

A rubber ball has a radius of about 2.86 in. Can the ball be packaged in a box shaped like a cube with a volume of 125 in3?
Sonja [21]

volume of the ball = 4/3 * PI *r^3 =

4/3 * 3.14 * 2.86^3 = 97.99 cubic inches

 this is less than the volume of the box, so yes it will fit

If f (x) = x and g(x) = 3x + 1 are two real functions. Find (f + g) (x)
romanna [79]

Answer:

4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

note that (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) , thus

f(x) + g(x)

= x + 3x + 1 ← collect like terms

= 4x + 1

I need some geometry help please
nadezda [96]
Y=mx+b is the equation we must fill out, with x and y being their respective coordinates, m being the slope, and b being the y-intercept. The y intercept will be at (0, y), and the beginning of this problem already gives us the y-intercept: -4.

We now know y=mx-4. To find the slope, m, we’ll plug in one of the coordinates: (5, 1). The new equation is 1=m(5)-4. Solve this to get 5=m(5), and then m=1.

Now that we know the slope and y-intercept, we can conclude that the equation is y=x-4.
