Let's calculate r of this G.P: (-20)/(4) = - 5(100)/(-20) = - 5So r = -5
The formula to find the nth term of a GP is;
a(n) = a(r)ⁿ⁻¹
<u />a₆ = a(r)⁶⁻¹
a₆ = 4(-5)⁵ = -12500<u />

Answer:

the 6th term of the given sequence is, - 12500

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term for the geometric sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}$ ....[1]

where,

$a_1$ is the first term

r is the common ratio of the terms.

Given the sequence:

4, −20, 100, ...

This is a geometric sequence.

Here,

$a_1 =4$ and r = -5

We have to find the 6th term of the given sequence:

Substitute n= 6 and the given values in [1] we have;

$a_6 = 4 \cdot (-5)^5 = 4 \cdot -3125 = -12500$

therefore, the 6th term of the given sequence is, - 12500

a salesperson sells $2700 in merchandise and earns a commission of $351 what is the commission rate in percentages?

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Commision rate 13%

Explanation:

The commission rate is equal to the commission as a percent of sells.

Now in our case,

sells = $2700

commission = $351

Therefore, the commission rate is equal to

$undefined$

Which statements are true?

faust18 [17]

Question 3. The true statements are:
4g2 – g = g2(4 – g) ⇒ should be: 4g² - g = g(4g - 1)
9g3 + 12 = 3(3g3 + 4) ⇒ should be: 9g³ + 12 = 3(3g³ + 4) TRUE
24g4 + 18g2 = 6g2(4g2 + 3g) ⇒ should be: 24g⁴ + 18g² = 6g²(4g² + 3)
<span>35g5 – 25g2 = 5g2(7g3 – 5) </span>⇒ should be: 35g⁵ - 25g² = 5g²(7g³ - 5) TRUE

Question 4. Completely factored.
16y⁵ + 12y³ = 4y³(4y² + 3) FACTORED COMPLETELY
18y³ - 6y = 6y(3y² - 1)
20y⁷ + 10y² = 10y²(2y⁵ + 1)
32y¹⁰ - 24 = 8(4y¹⁰ - 3) FACTORED COMPLETELY

») What is the volume of a ball with adiameter of 6 centimeters? Use 3.14for (pie)How is the volume of a sphere related tothe vo

Dahasolnce [82]

Volume of a sphere and a cone

We have that the equation of the volume of a sphere is given by:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

We have that the radius of a sphere is half the diameter of it:

Then, the radius of this sphere is

r = 6cm/2 = 3cm

<h2>Finding the volume of a sphere</h2>

We replace r by 3 in the equation:

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot3^3 \end{gathered}$

Since 3³ = 3 · 3 · 3 = 27

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi3^3 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot27 \end{gathered}$

If we use π = 3.14:

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot27 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot27 \\ \downarrow \\ V=4.18\bar{6}\cdot27 \end{gathered}$

Rounding the first factor to the nearest hundredth (two digits after the decimal), we have:

4.18666... ≅ 4.19

Then, we have that:

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot27 \\ \downarrow \\ V=4.19\cdot27 \\ =113.13 \end{gathered}$

Then, we have that:

<h2>Finding the volume of a cone</h2>

We have that the volume of a cone is given by:

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

where r is the radius of its base and h is the height:

Then, in this case

r = 3

h = 6

and

π = 3.14

Replacing in the equation for the volume:

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot3^2\cdot6 \end{gathered}$

Then, we have:

3² = 9

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot3^2\cdot6 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot9\cdot6 \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot54 \\ V=56.52 \\ \end{gathered}$

Answer: the volume of the cone that has the same circular base and height is 56.52 cm³
