Answer:

Option C is correct.

a_n =11 \cdot 3^{n-1}

Explanation:

Explicit formula for the geometric sequence is given by:

a_n =a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}

where r is the common ratio term.

Given the recursive formula for geometric sequence:

a_1 = 11

a_n =3 \cdot a_{n-1}

For n =2

a_2 = 3 \cdot a_{2-1}

a_2 = 3 \cdot a_1

⇒a_2 = 3 \cdot 11 = 33

For n =3

a_3= 3 \cdot a_{3-1}

a_3= 3 \cdot a_{2}

⇒a_3= 3 \cdot 33 = 99

Common ratio(r):

\frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{33}{11} = 3

\frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{99}{33} = 3 and so on..

⇒ r = 3

Therefore, the explicit formula for the geometric sequence represented by the recursive formula is:

a_n =11 \cdot 3^{n-1}

Which number produces a rational number when added to 0.5?
fenix001 [56]
ANSWER

The correct answer is
- 3.5


EXPLANATION

The number
0.5
is a rational number.


Since the set of rational numbers is closed under addition, the number that should be added to
0.5
should also be a rational number in order to get another rational number.


This means that, if we add a rational number to an irrational number we get an irrational number.



The only rational number in the options provided is
- 3.5


We add it to
0.5
to get
- 3.5 + 0.5 =  - 3.0


Note that,
- 3 =  -  \frac{3}{1}
Hence the result is a rational number.



As for the remaining options,
\sqrt{6},\pi,0.5050050005...

are irrational numbers, so adding them to
0.5
will not produce a rational number.
