The first term is 612.

The common ratio is 1.08 and

The recursive rule is a_{n} = a^{n-1} \times r

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

the question to the problem is to write the values of the first term, common ratio, and expression for the recursive rule.

<u>The first term :</u>

In geometric sequence, the first term is given as a_{1}.

⇒ a_{1} = 612

Now, the geometric sequence follows as 612, 661, ........

<u>The common ratio (r) :</u>

It is the ratio between two consecutive numbers in the sequence.

Therefore, to determine the common ratio, you just divide the number from the number preceding it in the sequence.

⇒ r = 661 divided by 612

⇒ r = 1.08

<u>To find the recursive rule :</u>

A geometric series is of the form  a,ar,ar2,ar3,ar4,ar5........

Here, first term a_{1} = a and other terms are obtained by multiplying by r.

  • Observe that each term is r times the previous term.
  • Hence to get nth term we multiply (n−1)th term by r .

The recursive rule is of the form a_{n} = a^{n-1} \times r

This is called recursive formula for geometric sequence.

We know that r = 1.08 and a_{1} = 612.

To find the second term a_{2}, use the recursive rule a_{n} = a^{n-1} \times r

⇒ a_{2} = a^{2-1}\times r

⇒ a_{2} = a^{1}\times r

⇒ a_{2} = 612\times 1.08

⇒ a_{2} = 661

What is the volume of a box measuring 1mX5mX6m?
Flauer [41]

Hey!

To find volume, you have to multiply the length, width, and height. All you have to do is multiply the 3 numbers together.

1 \times 5 \times 6 = 30

<em>The volume is 30 m³.</em>

Good luck and hope this helps! :)

A line passes through the points(-9,-9) and (-6,-6)<br> Fine the slope of the line
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Slope of the line = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A line with two points, we are asked to find the slope

We are using the formula

m = (y_2 - y_1) /( x_2 - x_1)

We are provided with some points

( -9 , -9) ( -6 , -6)

x_1 = -9

y_1 = -9

x_2 = -6

y_2 = -6

Insert the values into the equation

m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

m = ( -6 - (-9)) / ( -6 - (-9))

Hint: - * - = +

m =( -6 + 9) / ( -6 + 9)

= 3 / 3

= 1

Slope m = 1

Therefore, the slope of the line = 1

Question 15 of 40
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Option C: n = 32; p^ = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal curve can be used in this case if; np ≥ 10 or n(1 - p) ≥ 10

A) For n = 28 and p = 0.3;

np = 28 × 0.3 = 8.4 < 10

Thus, it can't be used.

B) For n = 28 and p = 0.9;

np = 28 × 0.9 = 25.2 > 10 Ok

n(1 - p) = 28(1 - 0.9) = 2.8 Not Ok

Thus, it can't be used

C) For n = 32 and p = 0.4

np = 32 × 0.4 = 12.8 > 10 Ok

n(1 - p) = 32(1 - 0.4) = 19.2 > 10 Ok

Thus, it can be used

D) For n = 32 and p = 0.2

np = 32 × 0.2 = 6.4 < 10 Not Ok

Thus it can't be used.
