T^5/t^8=t^(5-8)=t^(-3)
t^2/t^5=t^(2-5)=t^(-3)

The common ratio is t^(-3)

The next three terms are:
t^2*t^(-3)=t^(2-3)=t^(-1)
t^(-1)*t^(-3)=t^(-1-3)=t^(-4)
t^(-4)*t^(-3)=t^(-4-3)=t^(-7)

Answer: The next three terms of the geometric sequence t^8, t^5, t^2 are:
t^(-1), t^(-4), t^(-7)

The common ratio of the given geometric sequence is the number that is multiplied to the first term in order to get the second term. Consequently, this is also the number multiplied to the second term to get the third term. This cycle goes on and on until a certain term is acquired. In this item, the common ratio r is,

    r = t⁵/t⁸ = t²/t⁵

The answer, r = t⁻³.

The next three terms are,

    n₄ = (t²)(t⁻³) = t⁻¹
    n₅ = (t⁻¹)(t⁻³) = t⁻⁴
    n₆ = (t⁻⁴)(t⁻³) = t⁻⁷

The answers for the next three terms are as reflected above as n₄, n₅, and n₆, respectively.

Han drinks three gallons of iced tea each day. Each gallon of iced tea contains ¾ cups of sugar. How much sugar does Han drink w
erica [24]

Answer:

3 cups of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Han drinks 3/4 of a cup of sugar each day when she drinks iced tea. She drinks 3 gallons, and each contains 3/4. If each contains only 3/4, we will have to multiply 3/4 by 3 gallons to find our answer to this question.

\frac{3}{4} = 1 \text{-gallon}

So, now we will have to multiply 3/4 by the number 3.

\frac{3}{4} × 3 = \frac{12}{4}

12/4 is equal to 3, so the answer is 3.
