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

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: The required fourth term of the geometric sequence is $\dfrac{10}{9}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of the fourth term in a geometric sequence with first term and common ratio as follows :

$a(1)=30,~~~~~r=\dfrac{1}{2}.$

We know that

the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r given by

$a(n)=a(1)r^{n-1}.$

Therefore, the fourth term of the given geometric sequence will be

$a(4)=a(1)r^{4-1}=30\times r^3=30\times\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^3=\dfrac{30}{27}=\dfrac{10}{9}.$

Thus, the required fourth term of the geometric sequence is $\dfrac{10}{9}.$

Latoya, Milan, and Hong served a total of 154 orders Monday at the school cafeteria. Latoya served 10 more orders than Milan, Ho

Tems11 [23]

Orders served by Latoya, Milan and Hong are 34, 24, 96 respectively.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Latoya, Milan, and Hong served a total of 154 orders Monday at the school cafeteria.

Let orders served by Latoya ne a, orders served by Milan be b and orders served by hong be c.

Then, a + b + c = 154 ⇒ (1)

Latoya served 10 more orders than Milan, ⇒ a = b + 10

Hong served 4 times as many orders as Milan. ⇒ c = 4b

We have to find how many orders did they each serve?

Now, substitute a and c values in (1)

(b + 10) + b + 4b = 154

b + b + 4b = 154 – 10

6b = 144

b = 24

Then, a = 24 + 10 = 34 and c = 4 x 24 = 96.

Hence, orders served by Latoya, Milan and Hong are 34, 24, 96 respectively.

In a cookie recipe 1 and 2/3 cups milk makes 16 cookies. How many cups of needed to make 24 cookies

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

2 1/2 or 5/2 cups of milk

Step-by-step explanation:

if 16 cookies are made from 1 2/3 cups of milk which equals 5/3 cups of milk that means that you need 5/2 or 2 1/2 cups of milk to make 24 cookies because you need to multiply 5/3 by 16 and then multiply 5/48 by 24 which is 5/2 or 2 1/2 cups of milk

Can the mixed fraction 3 and 5/7 be changed into a decimal? Explain how in complete sentences.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Yes (3.71428571429)

Step-by-step explanation:

all mixed numbers and fractions can be changed into decimals. The line in a fraction that separates the numerator and denominator can be rewritten using the division symbol. So, to convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. If required, you can use a calculator to do this. This will give us our answer as a decimal.

Fo quality control purposes, we collect a sample of 300 items and find 36 defective items in it. Construct a 90% confidence inte

MrMuchimi

Answer:

(0.089 ; 0.151)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 300

Number of defective items, x = 36

The confidence interval required here is that for a one sample proportion :

The confidence interval is defined thus :

Phat ± Zcritical * √[Phat(1 - phat) / n]

Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Phat = x / n = 36 / 300 = 0.12

Hence,

C.I = 0.12 ± 1.645 * √[0.12(1 - 0.12) / 300]

C.I = 0.12 ± (1.645 * 0.0187616)

C.I = 0.12 ± 0.0308629

C.I = (0.089 ; 0.151)
