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

Answer:

5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

From the mnemoic SOH CAH TOA, we know that ...

... Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

In this triangle, that means ...

... cos(A) = AC/AB

We are given the value of AC, but we need to find the value of AB. We can do that using the Pythagorean theorem:

... AB² + AC² +BC²

... AB² = 15² +36² = 1521 = 39²

... AB = 39

Then ...

... cos(A) = 15/39 = (5·3)/(13·3)

... cos(A) = 5/13

A local company wants to evaluate their quality of service by surveying their customers.
stich3 [128]

Answer: b. 0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the maximum error of the estimated mean :

E=z^*\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}            (1)

, where \sigma = standard deviation

n= Sample size

z* = Critical z-value.

As per given , we have

\sigma=5

n=100

Critical value for 95% confidence interval = z*=1.96

Put these values in the formula (1), we get

E=(1.96)\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{100}}

E=(1.96)\dfrac{5}{10}=0.98

Hence, the maximum error of the estimated mean quality for a 95% level of confidence is 0.98.

Therefore , the correct answer is b. 0.98 .

Two number cubes are rolled.
Olegator [25]
Cubes have 6 numbers
3 odd, 3 even

probablity=desiredoutcome/totalpossibleoutcomes
there are 6 total desired outcomes (3 on each cube)
total possible, there are 6*6 or 36 total possible outcomes
so 6/36 or 1/6 chance
