Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence 2, 8, 32, 128

Alja [10]

The first term, a, is 2. The common ratio, r, is 4. Thus,

a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).

Check: What's the first term? Let n=1. Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8. Is that correct? No.

Try this instead:

a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1). Is this correct? Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2? 2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2. YES.

The desired explicit formula is a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.

I NEED HELP ASAP 85 POINTS At a bargain store, Tanya bought 5 items that each cost the same amount. Tony bought 3 items that eac

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 5x = 3(x - 2.5)

-----------------------

Distribute

5x = 3x - 7.5

Subtract 3x from both sides

2x = -7.5

Divde both sides by 2

x = -3.75

-----------------------

5 * (-3.75) = 3(-3.75 - 2.5)

-18.75 = -18.75

Tanya paid –$3.75 for each of 5 items

Tony paid –$6.25 for each of 3 items

There seems to be an error in the question since the cost of items is negative

Tony bought fewer items and paid less for each.

What is the following product? (4x square root 5x^2 + 2^2 square root 6)^2

tangare [24]

The product is $104 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}$

Explanation:

The given expression is $\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}$

We need to determine the product of the given expression.

First, we shall simplify the given expression.

Thus, we have,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x \sqrt{5} x+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^2$

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^2$

Expanding the expression, we have,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)$

Now, we shall apply FOIL, we get,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}\right)^{2}+2 ( 2 x^{2} \sqrt{6})(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5})+\left(2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}$
