the graph shows the first five terms in a geometric sequence what is the iterative rule for the sequence​

Mathematics

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{ }

5. Amy deposited $7,000 in a bank account earning 3.5% interest, compounded
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal = $7,000

Interest = 3.5% = 3.5/100 = 0.035

To find the future value, we would use the compound interest formula;

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where;

A is the future value.

P is the principal or starting amount.

r is annual interest rate.

n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.

t is the number of years for the compound interest.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

A = 7000(1 + \frac{0.035}{n})^{nt}

Do the political leanings of a network affect the news they report? During the the 2018-2019 Government shutdown, a left-leaning
daser333 [38]

Answer:

504

Step-by-step explanation:

We are solving for the left leaning poll

Total voters = 900 + 1100

= 2000

Number of voters who say trump was responsible = 56percent x 2000

= 1120

Number of those who say otherwise = 44% x 2000

= 880

For this network

Those who say trump is responsible = 1120 x900/2000

= 1008000/2000

= 504 registered voters

A TV that usually sells for $192.74 is on sale for 25% off. If sales tax on the TV is 5%, what is the price of the TV, including
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are saving 25%, you are still paying 75%, right?  So the cost of the TV with a discount of 25% is 192.74(.75) which is $144.56

That's the cost of the TV on sale.  Now we need to find the sales tax amount, if the sales tax is .05 as a decimal.  We are paying $144.56 for the TV, which is 100% of the cost.  On top of that, we are paying another 5%.  So altogether, for the TV, we are paying 105% of the TV.  Therefore,

144.56(1.05) = $151.79

Find x, GH, and HI <br> .
ruslelena [56]
Given that GI = 53, and
• GH = 3x - 11
• HI = 2x + 4

We can establish the following equality statement to solve for x:

GH + HI = GI
3x - 11 + 2x + 4 = 53

Combine like terms:
5x - 7 = 53

Add 7 to both sides:
5x - 7 + 7 = 53 + 7
5x = 60

Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
5x/5 = 60/5

x = 12

Substitute the value of x into the equality statement to verify if it is the correct value for x:

GH + HI = GI
3x - 11 + 2x + 4 = 53

3(12) - 11 + 2(12) + 4 = 53
36 - 11 + 24 + 4 = 53
53 = 53 (True statement. Thus, x = 12 is the correct value).

Therefore:
GH = 3x - 11
GH = 3(12) - 11
GH = 25

HI = 2x + 4
HI = 2(12) + 4
HI = 28
