Answer:

\displaystyle a_8=142,11\ mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence

Each term in a geometric sequence can be computed as the previous term by a constant number called the common ratio. The formula to get the term n is

\displaystyle a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

where a_1 is the first term of the sequence

The problem describes Georgie took 275 mg of the medicine for her cold in the first hour and that in each subsequent hour, the amount of medicine in her body is 91% (0.91) of the amount from the previous hour. It can be written as

amount in hour n = amount in hour n-1 * 0.91

a)

This information provides the necessary data to write the general term as

\displaystyle a_n=275\ .\ 0.91^{n-1}

b)

In the 8th hour (n=8), the remaining medicine present is Georgie's body is

\displaystyle a_n=275\ .\ 0.91^{8-1}

\displaystyle a_n=275\ .\ 0.91^{7}

\boxed{\displaystyle a_8=142,11\ mg}

2X+4=20+5X<br>A)1/2 B)-1/2 C)2 D)-2​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

It seems that your options aren't correct as the right answer is -5.3333... (recurring)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  2x + 4 = 20 + 5x   (subtract by the smallest unknown)

  -2x                  -2x

2)  4        = 20 + 3x

    -20      -20    (now subtract each side by 20 as we want to leave the unknown on one side and another number on the other side.

3) -16       = 3x   (Divide each side by 3)

   ÷3        = ÷3

4) -5.33333... = x

<h3>Now we have found x but if you're unsure you can substitute to see if your answer is correct.</h3><h3>2 x -5.3333 + 4 = -6.6666</h3><h3>20 + 5 x -5.3333= -6.6665</h3><h3>Our answer is correct! (When answers are rounded, it is equal to the same thing).</h3>
