Answer:

a = 2, r = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Nth term of a GP = a×r^(n-1)

Where 'a' is the first term and 'r' is the common ratio

4th term = a×r^3 = 250

r^3 = 250/a

7th term = a×r^6 = 31250

a×r^6 = 31250

a×(r^3)^2 = 31250

a×(250/a)^2 = 31250

a×(62500/a^2) = 31250

62500/a = 31250

a = 62500/31250 = 2

a = 2

since r^3 = 250/a,

r^3 = 250/2 = 125

r = (125)^(1/3)

r = 5

What is the justification for each step in solving the inequality?
Fed [463]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+\frac{5}{8}\geq 4x-\frac{1}{2}

Subtract 5/8 on both sides

To subtract 5/8 we make the denominators same

3x\geq 4x-\frac{1*4}{2*4}-\frac{5}{8}

Addition or Subtraction property of order is used

3x\geq 4x-\frac{9}{8}

Subtract 4x on both sides

Addition or Subtraction property of order is used

-x\geq -\frac{9}{8}

Now divide both sides by -1

Multiplication or Division property of order is used

\frac{-x}{-1} \geq \frac{-\frac{9}{8}}{-1}

Multiplication or Division property of order is used

x\leq \frac{9}{8}
