EXAMPLE 2 Find a formula for the general term of the sequence 3 5 , − 4 25 , 5 125 , − 6 625 , 7 3125 , assuming that the patter

n of the first few terms continues. SOLUTION We are given that a1 = 3 5 a2 = − 4 25 a3 = 5 125 a4 = − 6 625 a5 = 7 3125 . Notice that the numerators of these fractions start with 3 and increase by 1 Correct: Your answer is correct. whenever we go to the next term. The second term has numerator 4, the third term has numerator 5; in general, the nth term will have numerator Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. . The denominators are powers of 5 Correct: Your answer is correct. , so an has denominator Correct: Your answer is correct. . The signs of the terms are alternately positive and negative so we need to multiply by a power of −1. Here we want to start with a positive term and so we use (−1)n − 1 or (−1)n + 1. Therefore, an = (−1)n − 1 · Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. .

Answer:

a_n=\dfrac{(2+n)\cdot(-1)^{n + 1}}{5^n}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find a formula for the general term of the sequence

\dfrac{3}{5}, -\dfrac{4}{25}, \dfrac{5}{125}, -\dfrac{6}{625}, \dfrac{7}{3125}

We are given that a_1=\dfrac{3}{5}, a_2=-\dfrac{4}{25}, a_3=\dfrac{5}{125}, a_4=-\dfrac{6}{625}, a_5=\dfrac{7}{3125} .

  • The numerators of these fractions start with 3 and increase by 1. The second term has numerator 4, the third term has numerator 5; in general, the nth term will have numerator 2+n
  • The denominators are powers of 5, so a_n has denominator 5^n
  • The signs of the terms are alternately positive and negative so we need to multiply by a power of −1. Here we want to start with a positive term and so we use (-1)^{n + 1}.

Therefore,

a_n=\dfrac{(2+n)\cdot(-1)^{n + 1}}{5^n}

If I understand the drawing correctly than yes, because
6 9/12 + 6 9/12 = 12 and 18/12 = 13 and 6/12 or 13 and 1/2.
13 1/2 + 4 8/12 = 13 6/12 + 4 8/12 = 17 and 14/12 = 18 2/12 or 18 and 1/6.

Which is not Equivalent to 3:5 <br> A.30:50<br> B.21:28<br> C:15:28<br> D.9:15
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 21 is divided by 3 you might think that it is equivalent but remeber you have to divide by both sides, so if you divide 21 by 7 it works but 28 by seven does not! Hope this helps!

What is the slope intercept form of the equation 2y+3x=-8
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

y=-1.5x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Bring x over to the other side

2y=-8-3x

divide by 2

y=-4-1.5x

y=-1.5x-4 should be your equation in slope-intercept form

Equa<br> Problem 1<br> 3z - 4 = 52 - 12
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

z=44/3

Step-by-step

Subtract the numbers 52-12=40

3z-4=40

Add 4 to both sides

3z-4+4=40+4

SImplify

3z=44

Divide both sides by 3

3z/3 = 44/3

z=44/3 or decimal form= 14.66
