Answer:

7th term is 46,875

Step-by-step explanation:

The given geometric sequence is 3, 15, 75.....

Here the first term a1 = 3, common ratio (r) = 15/3 = 5

The nth term an = a1.r^(n-1)

To find the 7th term, plug in n = 7.

a7 = 3. (5)^(7 -1)

a7 = 3.5^6

a7 = 3*15625

a7 = 46,875

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

So to figure out the next number in the sequence you multply the previous number by 5
the first 7 terms are
3, 15, 75, 375, 1875, 9375, and 46875
then ad those all up and you get 58,593

Jocelyn and her children went into a bakery and she bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.50 and each br

Yuliya22 [10]

Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.

Let x represent the number of cookies and y represent the number of brownies.

Since he bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.75 and each brownie costs $3. hence:

0.75x + 3y = 9 (1)

Also, he bought twice as many cookies as brownies, hence:

x = 2y

x - 2y = 0 (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives x = 4, y = 2

Hence Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.

Applying properties of Exponents In Exercise, use the properties of exponents to simplify the expression.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

(a) $4^7$

(b) $7^6$

(d) $3^{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the given expressions.

(a)

Consider the given expression is

$(4^5)(4^2)$

Using the property of exponent, we get

$=4^{5+2}$ $[\because a^ma^n=a^{m+n}]$

$=4^7$

(b)

Consider the given expression is

$(7^2)^3$

Using the property of exponent, we get

$=7^{2\times 3}$ $[\because (a^m)^n=a^{mn}]$

$=7^6$

(c)

Consider the given expression is

$2^{-4}$

Using the property of exponent, we get

$=\dfrac{1}{2^{4}}$ $[\because a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}]$

$=\dfrac{1}{16}$

(d)

Consider the given expression is

$\dfrac{3^8}{3^4}$

Using the property of exponent, we get

$=3^{8-4}$ $[\because \dfrac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}]$

$=3^{4}$

Please I need help with this<br> 4x2 – 16x -13 = 0

igomit [66]

Answer:

-5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 4*2

4 * 2= 8 -16x -13

8-16x-13

add like-terms

8-13=-5

-5-16x=0

move the 5 with 0, which will make it positive

-16x=5

Divide

5/-16 =x
