Please help it’s for Alex
1 answer:
Okay so the y is in absolute value, which means the number could be a negative and the absolute value would make is a positive.
since the sign is greater than, with no equal to underneath it, than the answer cant be 3 or -3.
the number has to total to be larger than 3. again, since the absolute value turns the negatives into positives, then -4 is an acceptable answer. so the absolute value line should look like the above (please excuse the terrible look). I simplified it to the two numbers that start the equation. the two circle are open circles because the sign does not include an equal sign under it. you draw the arrows on either side of the two numbers because any answer beyond those arrows fits in with the equation

did that answer the problem?

<u>Given</u>:
The 11th term in a geometric sequence is 48.
The 12th term in the sequence is 192.
The common ratio is 4.
We need to determine the 10th term of the sequence.
<u>General term:</u>
The general term of the geometric sequence is given by
where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
The 11th term is given is
------- (1)
The 12th term is given by
------- (2)
<u>Value of a:</u>
The value of a can be determined by solving any one of the two equations.
Hence, let us solve the equation (1) to determine the value of a.
Thus, we have;
Dividing both sides by 1048576, we get;
Thus, the value of a is
<u>Value of the 10th term:</u>
The 10th term of the sequence can be determined by substituting the values a and the common ratio r in the general term , we get;
Thus, the 10th term of the sequence is 12.
