The iterative rule for the sequence is a_n = 8 · ( 0.5 )ⁿ ⁻ ¹

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Firstly , let us learn about types of sequence in mathematics.

Arithmetic Progression is a sequence of numbers in which each of adjacent numbers have a constant difference.

\boxed{T_n = a + (n-1)d}

\boxed{S_n = \frac{1}{2}n ( 2a + (n-1)d )}

<em>Tn = n-th term of the sequence</em>

<em>Sn = sum of the first n numbers of the sequence</em>

<em>a = the initial term of the sequence</em>

<em>d = common difference between adjacent numbers</em>

Geometric Progression is a sequence of numbers in which each of adjacent numbers have a constant ration.

\boxed{T_n = a ~ r^{n-1}}

\boxed{S_n = \frac{a( 1 - r^n ) }{1 - r}}

<em>Tn = n-th term of the sequence</em>

<em>Sn = sum of the first n numbers of the sequence</em>

<em>a = the initial term of the sequence</em>

<em>r = common ratio between adjacent numbers</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

a₁ = 8

a₂ = 4

a₃ = 2

a₄ = 1

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we find the ratio by following formula:</em>

r = a_2 \div a_1 = 4 \div 8 = 0.5

\texttt{ }

<em>The iterative rule for the sequence:</em>

a_n = a_1 \cdot~ r^{n-1}

a_n = 8 \cdot~ (0.5)^{n-1}

\texttt{ }

The sum of two numbers is 70.<br> One number is 10 more the twice the other number.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

20 and 50

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 70

y = 2x + 10

Use the substitution method:

y = 70 - x

y = 2x + 10

70 - x = 2x + 10

3x = 60

x = 20

x + y = 70

20 + y = 70

y = 50

<u>x = 20</u>

<u>y = 50</u>
