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

How much does Greg earn per hour? Explain how to determine the unit rate from the table?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Well you can already answer that(37)

Step-by-step explanation:

In 3 hours and 30 minutes Greg has earned 64.75 dollars if you take that amount(the amount earned in 3 and a half hours) and divide it by the 3 1/2 hours(the time it took to earn that amount) you get 18.50 which is the amount you earn per half hour since that graph is increasing at 30min. per 18.50 or the amount.

About 1.63 ft.
First subtract 8.5 from 11.75 which is 3.25
then divide 3.25 by 2 which is 1.625
Therefore about 1.63 ft. away from each side.
