$a_{0}$ =3

r=common ratio: 12/6=2; 6/3=2

r=2, $a_{n}$ = $2^{n-1}$ *3

plug in 12 for n:

$a_{12}$ = $2^{12-1}$ *3

$a_{12}$ = $2^{11}$ *3

$a_{12}$ =2048*3

$a_{12}$ =6144

The twelfth term in the sequence is 6144

A spherical block of ice melts so that its surface area decreases at a constant rate: ds/dt = - 8 pi cm^2/s. calculate how fast

sveticcg [70]

The rate a which the surface area, S, decreases is
$\frac{dS}{dt} =-8 \pi \, cm^{2}/s$

The surface area is
S = 4πr²
where r = the radius at time t.

Therefore
$\frac{dS}{dt} = \frac{dS}{dr} \frac{dr}{dt} =8 \pi r \frac{dr}{dt} \\\\ -8 \pi = 8 \pi r \frac{dr}{dt} \\\\ \frac{dr}{dt} =- \frac{1}{r}$

When r = 3 cm, obtain
$\frac{dr}{dt}]_{r=3} = - \frac{1}{3} \, cm/s$

Answer: -1/3 cm/s (or -0.333 cm/s)
