What is the value of the fourth term in a geometric sequence for which a1 = 30 and r = 1/2?.

1 answer:

8 0

For a Geometric sequence:
a n = a ( n-1 ) * r
In this case: a 1 = 30
a 2 = 30 * 1/2 = 15
a 3 = 15 * 1/2 = 7.5
a 4 = 7.5 * 1/2 = 3.75 = 3 3/4
Answer: The value of the fourth term is 3.75 or 3 3/4.

In the previous part, we obtained dy dx = 3t2 − 27 −2t . Next, find the points where the tangent to the curve is horizontal. (En

Answer:

(27.55, 7.22), (-11.3, 3.21).

Step-by-step explanation:

When is the tangent to the curve horizontal?

The tangent curve is horizontal when the derivative is zero.

The derivative is:

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 3t^{2} - 2t - 27$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$3t^{2} - 2t - 27 = 0$

$a = 3, b = -2, c = -27$

Then

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac = (-2)^{2} - 4*3*(-27) = 328$

$t_{1} = \frac{-(-2) + \sqrt{328}}{2*3} = 3.35$

$t_{2} = \frac{-(-2) - \sqrt{328}}{2*3} = -2.685$

Enter your answers as a comma-separated list of ordered pairs.

We found values of t, now we have to replace in the equations for x and y.

t = 3.35

$x = t^{3} - 3t = (3.35)^{3} - 3*3.35 = 27.55$

$y = t^{2} - 4 = (3.35)^2 - 4 = 7.22$

The first point is (27.55, 7.22)

t = -2.685

$x = t^{3} - 3t = (-2.685)^3 - 3*(-2.685) = -11.3$

$y = t^{2} - 4 = (-2.685)^2 - 4 = 3.21$

The second point is (-11.3, 3.21).
