Answer:
The explicit rule of the geometric sequence
aₙ = 187.5 (0.8)ⁿ⁻¹
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em> Step(i):-</em></u>
Given that the third term of the sequence = 120
tₙ = a rⁿ⁻¹
t₃ = a r³⁻¹ = ar²
120 = ar² ..(i)
Given that the fifth term of the given geometric sequence = 76.8
tₙ = a rⁿ⁻¹
t₅ = a r⁵⁻¹ = a r⁴
76.8 = a r⁴...(ii)
<u><em>Step(ii):</em></u>-
Dividing (ii) and (i)

r² = 0.64
r =√ 0.64 = 0.8
Substitute r= 0.8 in equation (i)
120 = ar²
120 = a(0.8)²
⇒ 
<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>
The explicit rule of the geometric sequence
aₙ = a rⁿ⁻¹
put a= 187.5 and r = 0.8
aₙ = 187.5 (0.8)ⁿ⁻¹
ANSWER: x = 4 ( 8 + 160 )
STEP BY STEP:
Let's start by getting a variable to represent the number. Let's use x. ⇩
x=
Now we know that there is a sum of 8 and 160. Let's add them to each other ⇩
x= 8 + 160
Now we know that this will be multiplied. Let's put parentheses around the addition to symbolize this.
X= (8 + 160)
Finally multiply this by four, making your equation
x= 4 (8 + 160)
I don't know the options but from looking at the problem I'm assuming the answer is
x = 4 ( 8 + 160 )
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a survey was conducted that asked 1004 people how many books they had read in the past year.
Results are:
x bar =12.5
s = 16.6
n = 1004
Std error of sample = 
Since population std dev is not known t critical value can be used for confidence interval.
df = 1004-1 =1003
t critical = 1.96
Margin of error 
Confidence interval lower bound 
Upper bound
Answer: $76,000
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
State Income Tax = Salary × Income Tax Rate
3040 = Salary × 0.04
<u> ÷ 0.04 </u> <u> ÷0.04 </u>
76,000 = Salary
Each strip is 29 cm
------------------------------------------------------
Change the m to cm
------------------------------------------------------
6 m = 600 cm
------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of strips for 1 6m-board
------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of strips that can be cut from the 6m board.
600 ÷ 29 = 20 pieces remainder 20cm
So we can only cut 20 pieces of 29 strips from one 6m board.
------------------------------------------------------
Find number of boards needed
------------------------------------------------------
70 ÷ 20 = 3.5
We need 3.5 of the 6m boards.
Since she can't have half a board, she has to buy 4 pieces of the board.
------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 4 pieces of the 6m board.
