Answer:

$a_{n}$ = - 3 $a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio between consecutive terms of the sequence, that is

r = 9 ÷ - 3 = - 27 ÷ 9 = 81 ÷ - 27 = - 243 ÷ 81 = - 3

The recursive formula is of the form

$a_{n}$ = r $a_{n-1}$ = - 3 $a_{n-1}$

Saira is using the formula for the area of a circle to determine the value of LaTeX: \piπ. She is using the expression LaTeX: Ar

lord [1]

Given:

Area of a circle, A=50.265 sq. units.

Radius of circle, r = 4 units.

To find:

The value of π to the nearest thousandth.

Solution:

Formula for area of a circle is

$A=\pi r^2$

$\dfrac{A}{r^2}=\pi$

$Ar^{-2}=\pi$

Now, using $Ar^{-2}$ expression, we can find the value of π.

$\pi=50.265904(4)^{-2}$

$\pi=\dfrac{50.265904}{4^2}$

$\pi=\dfrac{50.265904}{16}$

$\pi=3.141619$

Approximate the value to the nearest thousandth (three digits after decimal).

$\pi\approx 3.142$

Therefore, the approximated value of π is 3.142.
