Find the third term of the geometric sequence when a1=1/4 and r=−2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1 is the third term.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequences have a common ratio.  This means a term divided by previous term is the same no matter the choosing of term.

So for example:

\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}=\frac{a_{n-1}}{a_{n-2}}=\cdots=\frac{a_4}{a_3}=\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{a_2}{a_1}

So anyways geometric sequences means you are just multiply the common ratio over and over to generate the next term.

So, the first term is 1/4.

The second term is (-2)(1/4)=-1/2.

The third term is (-2)(-1/2)=1.

There are 340 freshman at BHSS. This is one hundred less than two times the number of sophomores. Find the number of sophomores
natta225 [31]
To put it into an equation, it would be:

340 = 2x - 100

with x being the amount of sophomores at BHSS.

Solve it:

340 + 100 = 2x

2x = 440

x = 220

The number of sophomores at BHSS is 220.
