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

Find the area of the rectangle. Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Fed [463]

Answer:

The area of the given rectangle is 51

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle.

Then the length and breadth of it using distance formula.

The distance d between points (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂) is given by

d= \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

Finally calculate the area of rectangle using the formula,

Area of rectangle = Length * Breadth

From the given graph, we get the coordinates of the rectangle as

A(2,4) , B(-2,3) , C(1,-9) , D(5,-8)

Breadth, AB = \sqrt{(-2-2)^{2}+(3-4)^{2}} = \sqrt{16+1} = sqrt{17}

Length, BC = \sqrt{(1+2)^{2}+(-9-3)^{2}} = \sqrt{9+144} = 3 sqrt{17}

Now, Area of rectangle = Length * Breadth = AB * BC = √17 * 3√17 = 3 *17 = 51

∴ The area of the given rectangle is 51
