The formula for geometric sequence is an = a1 r^(n-1) where r is the geometric factor and n is an interger. In the sequence given, r is equal to 3/10. In this case, an = 120* (3/10)^(n-1). Solving for a5, a5 = 120* (3/10)^(5-1) = 0.972

First we need to find the common ratio by dividing the second term by the first term. 36/120 = 3/10

an = a1 * r^(n-1)
n = term to find = 5
a1 = first term = 120
r = common ratio = 3/10
now we sub and solve
a5 = 120 * 3/10^(5 - 1)
a5 = 120 * 3/10^4
a5 = 120 * .0081
a5 = 0.972 <=== fifth term

or we could have just done this......since we multiply by 3/10 to find the next number...
a3 = 10.8......10.8 * 3/10 = 3.24 <== 4th term
3.24 * 3/10 = 0.972 <== fifth term

1. Determine the measure of the unknown angles indicated by letters. Justify your answers with
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

In an isocele triangle, base's angles have the measure:

42+2a=180

2a=180-42

a=69(°)

b)

in a triangle, an external angle has for measure the sum of the angles not adjacents.

55+b=132

b=77 (°)

c)

in a quadrilater the sum of the (interior) angles is 2*180=360 degrees.

90+90+68+c=360

c=360-90-90-68

c=112 (°)

Write the equation of the circle in standard form: Center (7,0) R=1
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

(x-7)^2+y^2=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Equation of a circle: (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where the circle is centered at (h,k) and the radius is r

<u>1) Plug in the given center (7,0)</u>

(x-7)^2+(y-0)^2=r^2\\(x-7)^2+y^2=r^2

<u>2) Plug in the radius (1)</u>

(x-7)^2+y^2=1^2\\(x-7)^2+y^2=1

I hope this helps!
