Answer:

You can check the answer by yourself after seeing the below answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is geometric only if has common ratio i.e. r=\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{a3}{a2} whiere a1,a2 and a3 are first,second and third term of the sequence respectively.

1) Common ratio r=\frac{-18}{-3}=\frac{-108}{-18}=6\\

 Explicit formula a_{n} =a_{1} .r^{n-1}

Now using the above formula, we can find 8^{th} term=-3*(6)^{8-1} =-3*6^{7}=-839808.

2) Here

\frac{a2}{a1}\neq \frac{a3}{a2}\\\frac{-2}{-4}\neq \frac{1}{-2}\\\frac{1}{2}\neq\frac{1}{-2} so this is not geometric sequence so no need to proceed further.

3) Common ratio r=\frac{15}{-3}=\frac{-75}{15}=-5\\

 Explicit formula a_{n} =a_{1} .(-5)^{n-1}

Now using the above formula, we can find 8^{th} term=-3*(-5)^{8-1} =-3*(-5)^{7}=234375.

4) Common ratio r=\frac{-6}{1}=\frac{36}{-6}=-6\\

 Explicit formula a_{n} =a_{1} .(-6)^{n-1}

Now using the above formula, we can find 8^{th} term=1*(-6)^{8-1} =1*(-6)^{7}=-279936.

5)Common ratio r=\frac{-8}{4}=\frac{16}{-8}=-2\\

 Explicit formula a_{n} =a_{1} .(-2)^{n-1}

Now using the above formula, we can find 8^{th} term=4*(-2)^{8-1} =4*(-2)^{7}=-512.

6)Common ratio r=\frac{-8}{-2}=\frac{-32}{-8}=4\\

 Explicit formula a_{n} =a_{1} .(4)^{n-1}

Now using the above formula, we can find 8^{th} term=-2*(4)^{8-1} =-2*(4)^{7}=-32768.

A gym has 2kg and 5kg weights. There are 10 disks in all. The total weight of 2kg and 5kg disks is equal to 29kg. Find the numbe
Simora [160]

Answer:

no of 5 kg disks is 3, and no of 2 kg disks is (10-3) i.e. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no of 2kg disks be a.

Let no of 5 kg disks be b.

2a+5b=29

a+b=10

Using substitution, we have

2(10-b) + 5b=29

20-2b+5b=29

20+3b=29

3b=9

b=3

So no of 5 kg disks is 3, and no of 2 kg disks is (10-3) i.e. 7

Apple weights in an orchard are normally distributed. from a sample farmer fred determines the mean weight of a box of apples to
Serjik [45]
<span>Mean = 270 Standard deviation = 10 x = 255 Formula for z-score, z = (x - mean)/SD z = (255 - 270) / 10 => z = -15 / 10 => z = -1.5 So by referring to z-table, -1.5 correlates to 0.0668 that implies to 0.07 So 7% of the boxes of Apples weight less than 255oz. The percentage of boxes is in the range of 255 oz and 270 oz, Now calculating the requiring percentage 50% - 7% = 43%</span>

What must be true for lines a and b to be parallel lines? Check all that apply
iren [92.7K]

the question does not present the options, but this does not interfere with the resolution


we know that

if a and b are parallel lines

so


1) m∠2=58°------> by corresponding angles


2) m∠1=4x-10------> by alternate exterior angles


3) [m∠2+m∠(3x-1)]+m ∠1=180°------> by supplementary angles

58+(3x-1)+4x-10=180

7x=180-47

7x=133

x=19°


4) angle (4x-10)=-4*19-10-------> 66°


5) angle 3x-1=3*19-1-------> 56°

Expand and Combine like terms: <br> (4t^3-5)^2
arsen [322]

Answer: 16t^6−40t^3+25 is the answer

first lets set the equation as a binomial *remember 2 binomial= trinomial*

so its going to look something like..........

(4t^3-5) (4t^3-5)

now we do the foil method so 4t^3* 4t^3= 16t^6 (add exponents)

do the same for the other terms:

4t^3*-5= -20t^3

-5*4t^3= -20t^3

-5*-5= 25

now the whole equation is...

16t^6-20t^3-20t^3+25 (combine like terms like -20t^3 and -20t^3)

therefor the answer is... 16t^6-40t^3+25
