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

Solve the equation.<br><br> |x-1|+5=2
aev [14]

Answer:

No answer is applicable for this question

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off by moving the singular numbers to one side. This can be done by subtracting 5 from both sides. Then you are left with |x-1|=-3.

After reaching this point, you must know what whatever number, negative or not, within the lines will always come out to be positive. If those lines were not there, the answer would be -2. But if -2 was inserted at this point, you would find yourself with the answer of 3=-3. Hope this helps, comment a question below if you do not understand

How do you find the perimeter of a triangle?
vazorg [7]
To find the perimeter<span> of a polygon, take the sum of the length of each side. The formula for </span>perimeter<span> of a triangle would be the sum of the three side lengths (a +b+c). In the case, where it is a regular polygon, the perimeter would be 3 times the side length. Hope this answers the question.</span>
