Sequence: 5/2, 5/4, 5/8, 5/16
a8=?
a1=5/2
a2=5/4
a3=5/8
a4=5/16
a2/a1=(5/4)/(5/2)=(5/4)*(2/5)=(5*2)/(4*5)=2/4=1/2
a3/a2=(5/8)/(5/4)=(5/8)*(4/5)=(5*4)/(8*5)=4/8=1/2
a4/a3=(5/16)/(5/8)=(5/16)*(8/5)=(5*8)/(16*5)=8/16=1/2
Ratio: r=a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3→r=1/2
an=a1*r^(n-1)
a1=5/2, r=1/2
an=(5/2)*(1/2)^(n-1)
an=(5/2)*[1^(n-1)/2^(n-1)]
an=(5/2)*[1/2^(n-1)]
an=(5*1)/[2*2^(n-1)]
an=5/2^(1+n-1)
an=5/2^n
n=8→a8=5/2^8
a8=5/256
Answers:
The formula for the general term or nth term for the sequence is an=5/2^n
a8=5/256
Well i know by looking for sure it is not D or C. so that eliminates 2 answers which leaves A and B. i believe the best answer for this is A. if i am wrong please let me know, if i am correct then let me know swell. hope this helps.
Given the equation :
So, to find d , divide both sides by ( -6 )
So,
Note: when we divide two negative numbers, the result will be a positive number
Remark
You have to read this carefully to know what way to write it.
One way you could write it would be
20 * x = 18 where x is the fraction. Now all you need do is divide.
Divide both sides by 20
20/20 * x = 18/20
But you should reduce this fraction. The way to do that is to factor 18 and 20 into primes.
18: 2 * 3 * 3
20: 2 * 2 *5
Cancel out the Highest common factor or 2.
You are left with

Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for area of a triangle is A = (1/2)bh,
For the first triangle we can leave it in general terms, so it's area is
A = (1/2)bh, depending on what b and h are, but it doesn't matter here...
The second triangle has base that is twice the other triangles base. Bases being multiples of each other is the definition of being proportional so the bases are proportional, an the area of the second triangle is
A = (1/2)(2b)h, which simplifies to
A = bh
Comparing the 2 areas, you can see that one has a multiplier of (1/2), so their areas are proportional
