Answer:

The missing terms are 768, 192, 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given geometric sequence

First term= a_1=3072

Fifth Term= a_5=12

The general form of a geometric sequence is:

a_n=ar^(n-1)

here a_nis the nth term, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

We will use the general form for term 5 to calculate the value of r.

So the general form for term 5 will be

a_5=3072* r^(5-1)

Putting the value of a_5

12=3072* r^4

r^4= 12/3072

r^4= 1/256

r^4= 1/[(4)^4]

Solving for r

r= 1/4

Now

a_2= ar^(2-1)

a_2=3072*r

a_2=3072* 1/4

a_2=768

a_3= ar^(3-1)

a_3=3072*r^2

a_3=3072*(1/4)^2

a_3=3072* 1/16

a_3=192

a_4= ar^(4-1)

a_4=3072*r^3

a_4=3072*(1/4)^3

a_4=3072* 1/64

a_4=48

The length of a rectangle is 12 units longer than the width. The perimeter is 7 times the width. Find the length and the width o

katen-ka-za [31]

Log explanation below; answer is at bottom.

If the length, l, is 12 units longer than the width, w, then w = l - 12. If the perimeter, p,

p = 2l +2w,

is 7 x w, then

w = p/7

When two things are set equal to the same variable, they are equal to each other, so,

l - 12 = p/7

Now you need to get rid of the p so you are only working with one variable. To do this you plug in whatever p is equal to for p, so,

l - 12 = (2l + 2w)/7 now to get rid of the w do the same thing we did with p just for w. So,

l - 12 = (2l + 2(l - 12))/7

To solve this you want to multiply both sides by 7 first to get rid of the fraction.

7l - 84 = 2l + 2(l - 12)

Next you want to distribute the 2 over the l and the 12.

7l - 84 = 2l + 2l - 24

Next you want to combine like terms on each side.

7l - 84 = 4l - 24

Next add 84 and subtract 4l from sides to isolate the variable.

3l = 60

Now divide each side by 11 to get your answer.

l = 20.

To find the width,

w = l - 12

Just plug in and solve.

w = 20 - 12

w = 8

So your length and width are 20 and 8.

l = 20

w = 8

The Todd family plans to start a small business. Mr. Todd borrows $10,000 from the blank at an annual interest rate 8%for 36 mon

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: They will end up paying $2,400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the annual interest rate is 8% of $10,000, take 8% of 10,000 by multiplying these numbers. This gives you $800.

This is only the annual interest rate, the Todd family's loan and interest isn't paid until 36 months have passed. Since 36 months is equal to 3 years, we can multiply the annual rate by 3. (800*3)

The Todd family will pay $2,400 in interest by the end of the period.

To find the volume,we would first need to find the height of square pyramid, by it's base edge and slant height using Pythagoras theorem:

${height }^{2} = {13}^{2} - {10}^{2} \\ {height }^{2} = 69 \\ height = \sqrt{69}$

We can then use the pyramid formula to find the volume:
$base \: \times \: height \: \times \frac{1}{3}$

In this case,the volume will be:

10×_/69×1/3
=27.68874...
≈27.7 units^3

Hope it helps!
