An=a1r^(n-1)

given
a5=1/24
a10=1/768

we know that
a5=1/24=a1r^(5-1) and
a10=1/768=a1r^(10-1)

so
1/24=a1r^4
1/768=a1r^9

(a1r^9)/(a1r^4)=r^5=(1/768)/(1/24)=1/32

r^5=1/32
take 5th root of both sides
r=1/2

we have
a5=a1r^4=1/24
evaluate r^4 or (1/2)^4
1/16
a1(1/16)=1/24
times both sides by 16/1
a1=16/24
a1=2/3

the first term is 2/3

Answer:

dr. potter provides 54 vaccinations TOTAL (including both measles and polio).

p+m=54

since there are 4 doses of polio and of measles, you have to use a variable to distinguish how many doses were given for measles and polio out of 142 given doses.

4p+2m=142

p+m=54

4p+2m=142

^^system of equation

p+m=54

4p+2m=142

p=54-m

4p+2m=142

(substitute 54-m to the equation)

4(54-m)+2m=142

m=37

(collect like terms, then substitute the value of m into the first equation)

p=54-37

p=17

(m, p)=(37, 17)

Step-by-step explanation:

i hope this helps, sorry for the wait
