The answers are shorter, higher, 2cm, 15cm, 20% and 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; From the given data Hugo measured his plant higher than its original height. Hugo measured his plant as 12 cm while it was actually 10 cm. So Hugo's measurement was off by 2cm. Hugo's percent error is given by dividing the difference in values by the actual value.= multiplied by 100.

% error = (difference in values / actual value) × 100

Hugo's % error = (12 - 10)/ 10 × 100 = 2/10 × 100 = 20%.

Step 2; Koby measured his plant lower than his plant's original height. He measured it to be 85 cm while it was 100 cm tall. So Koby's measurement was off by 15cm. The percent error is calculated in the same way.

% error = (difference in values / actual value) × 100

Koby's % error = (100 - 85)/ 100 × 100 = 15/100 × 100 = 15%.

Step 3; Hugo had a percent error of 20% while Koby has a percent error of 15%. So Hugo had a higher percent error of the two.

Answer:  \bold{(1)\ \dfrac{19,683}{64}\qquad (2)\ 16}

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

(1)           (12, 18, 27, ...)

The common ratio is:

r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\quad r =\dfrac{18}{12}=\boxed{\dfrac{3}{2}}\quad \rightarrow \quad r=\dfrac{27}{18}=\boxed{\dfrac{3}{2}}

The equation is:

a_n=a_o(r)^{n-1}\\\\Given:a_o=12,\  r=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\\Equation:\\a_n =12\bigg(\dfrac{3}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}\\\\\\\\9th\ term:\\a_9=12\bigg(\dfrac{3}{2}\bigg)^{9-1}\\\\\\a_9=12\bigg(\dfrac{3}{2}\bigg)^{8}\\\\\\.\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{19643}{64}}

(2)\qquad \bigg(\dfrac{1}{16},\dfrac{1}{8},\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\\text{The common ratio is}:\\\\r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\quad  r=\dfrac{\frac{1}{8}}{\frac{1}{16}}=\boxed{2}\quad \rightarrow \quad r=\dfrac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{8}}=\boxed{2}

The equation is:

a_n=a_o(r)^{n-1}\\\\Given:a_o=\dfrac{1}{16},\  r=2\\\\\\Equation:\\a_n =\dfrac{1}{16}(2)^{n-1}\\\\\\\\9th\ term:\\a_9=\dfrac{1}{16}(2)^{9-1}\\\\\\a_9=\dfrac{1}{16}(2)^{8}\\\\\\.\quad =\large\boxed{16}

1.3 Find the next number in the sequence: -16; -9; -2: _ a. 12 6.7 C. 5 d.-5 1.4 3 = b.1 6.6 d. 27​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

given sequence, -16; -9; -2: _

first term(a)=-16

common difference(d)=-9-(-16)=7

next term is 4

so

4th term=a+(n-1)d

=-16+(4-1)7=-16+21=5
