Answer:
a(4) = 15/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we're told that the first term is a(1) = 30 and that the common factor r = 1/2.
Thus, the geometric sequence formula specific to this case is
a(n) = 30(1/:2)^(n-1).
What is the fourth term? Let n = 4,
a(4) = 30(1/2)^(4-1), or a(4) = 30(1/2)^(3), or a(4) = 30(1/8) = 30/8, or, in reduced form,
a(4) = 15/4.
Answer:
2/5 or 40% of a bag
Step-by-step explanation:
2 bags/5 people
goes to 2/5
which is equal to 4/10
also equal to 40/100
we can rewrite this as a percenatge 40%
Therefore each person gets 40% of a bag of marshmellows

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse<u>
</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables</em>
Leg <em>a</em> = <em>a</em>
Leg <em>b</em> = 12
Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 20
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>
- Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: a² + 12² = 20²
- Evaluate exponents: a² + 144 = 400
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate <em>a</em> term: a² = 256
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: a = 16
