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

How to convert .75 to 3/4
Travka [436]

Answer:

Back to your fraction 3/4, if you have 3 parts of 4, you have 3 25% slices which is 3 * 25% = 75%. Now that you have 3/4 as a percentage you simply have to covert the percent to a decimal. To do this you will just move the decimal 2 places to the left.

Can someone please help me ?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer: x = 10

Explanation:

Line A is parallel to line B only when the corresponding angles 4x and 3x+10 are congruent

4x = 3x+10

4x-3x = 10

x = 10

Two angles are complementary. If the measure of one angle is twice the measure of the other angle, what is the measure of the la
Alenkinab [10]
Two angles are complementary: x + y = 90 (complementary = 90 degrees)
x = 2y

plug in 2y for x

2y + y = 90
3y = 90
3y/3 = 90/3
y = 30

plug in 30 for y
x = 2y
x = 2(30)
x = 60

x (the largest angle) = 60°

Denise is making bean bags. She has 6.4 pounds of beans.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

a) she be able to make 8 bags

b) she can make 16 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the exercise info Denise has 6.4 pounds of beans

<u>Solving question a </u>

 ⇒  if she makes each bean bag of 0.8 pounds and she has 6.4 pounds of beans, we can express this by using the three simply rule she needs to puts 6.4 pounds of beans in x quantity of bags of 0.8 pouns, so doing the division: 6. 4 pounds of beans / 0.8 pounds of beans per bag= 8 bags of 0.8 pounds of beans.

B- If she decides to make mini bean bags that are half as heave as the ohers bags, so now Denise is going to make bags of 0.8/2 = 0.4 pounds.

Doing the same procedure as question a, we can say that she has 6.4 pounds of beans and she needed to put these amount in a x quantity of 04 pounds bags. Doing the following division ⇒ 6.4 pounds of beans/ 0.4 pounds of beans per bag= 16 bags

 In conclusion she is going to make 16 bags of 0.4 pounds of beans.
