Answer:
= - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term ( explicit formula ) for a geometric sequence is
= a
where a is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a = - 2 and r = 8 ÷ - 2 = - 4, thus
= - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x=y
y=1/z^3
Now,
for equation,
x=y=1/z^3
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 3)^5 = C(5,0)2x^5*3^0 +
C(5,1)2x^4*3^1 + C(5,2)2x^3*3^2 + C(5,3)2x^2*3^3 + C(5,4)2x^1*3^4 + C(5,5)2x^0*3^5
Recall that
C(n,r) = n! / (n-r)! r!
C(5,0) = 1
C(5,1) = 5
C(5,2) = 10
C(5,3) = 10
C(5,4) = 5
C(5,5) = 1
= 1(2x^5)1 + 5(2x^4)3 + 10(2x^3)3^2 + 10(2x^2)3^3 + 5(2x^1)3^4 + 1(2x^0)3^5
= 2x^5 + 15(2x^4) + 90(2x^3) + 270(2x^2) + 405(2x) +243
= 32x^5 + 15(16x^4) + 90(8x^3) + 270(4x^2) + 810x + 243
= 32x^5 + 240x^4 + 720x^3 + 1080x^2 + 810x + 243
Factorize the numerator and denominator, then simplify:
10/45 = (2×5)/(9×5) = 2/9
Now,
1/9 = 1/10 + 1/90
1/90 = 1/10 × 1/9 = 1/10 × (1/10 + 1/90) = 1/100 + 1/900
1/900 = 1/100 × 1/9 = 1/100 × (1/10 + 1/90) = 1/1000 + 1/9000
and so on, which is to say
1/9 = 1/10 + 1/100 + 1/1000 + …
or
1/9 = 0.111…
so that multiplying both sides by 2 gives
2/9 = 0.222…
