<span>2,000 pounds are a short ton also sometimes referred to as an English ton. Your 20,000 pounds are therefore 10 short tons. By contrast the Metric ton is 1,000 kg or 2,204 American pounds. 2000 pounds = 1 short ton 2240 pounds = 1 long ton</span>

Find the first term and the common ratio <br>third term =6 and seventh term= 96

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the first term and common ratio while we are given third term = 6 and seventh term = 96

Since common ratio is required so, the sequence is geometric sequence

The formula used is: $a_n= a_1r^{n-1}$

We are given: third term = 6 i,e

$a_3=a_1r(3-1)\\6=a_1r^2----eq(1)$

Seventh term = 96

$a_7=a_1r(7-1)\\96=a_1r^6----eq(2)$

Dividing eq(2) and eq(3)

$\frac{96}{6}=\frac{a_1r^6}{a1r2}\\16=\frac{r^6}{r^2}\\16=r^{6-2}\\=> r^4=16\\Taking \ fourth \ root\\ r=2,-2,2i,-2i\\ \ We \ will \ consider \ only \ positive \ value \ of \ r \ i.e \ \textbf{ r= 2}$

So, Common Ratio r = 2

Finding First term using eq(1)

$a_3=a_1r^2\\6=a_1(2)^2\\6=a_1(4)\\a_1= \frac{6}{4}\\a_1= \frac{3}{2}$

So, First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

Answer please!!! 10 points. (Rude answers will be reported )

It looks as if it has to be the first choice. Because its asking for you to find "X" which is greater than 2. Good luck!

Solve for x algebra help

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following proportion:

$\frac{2}{10}=\frac{3}{x-9}$

And we want to solve for x.

First, let's reduce $\frac{2}{10}$ , as reducing fractions typically makes the process easier

$\frac{2}{10}$ is the same as $\frac{1}{5}$

So:

$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{x-9}$

We can't do anything to $\frac{3}{x-9}$ , but that's okay.

Now we can cross multiply, as this is a proportion

Multiply x-9 by 1 and 3 by 5

1(x-9)=3(5)

Multiply

x-9=15

Now this is an equation

Our goal is to isolate x on one side

So let's add 9 to both sides to remove it from the left side

x-9=15

+9 +9

_________

x=24

Hope this helps!

A certain colony of bacteria triples in length every 10 minutes. Its length is now one millimeter. How long will it be in 40 min

Bumek [7]

Answer:

81mm

Step-by-step explanation:

the number of steps is small enough that we can simply list out each step

let the time elapsed be t and the original length be L ( = 1 mm)

when t = 0, L = 1mm

when t = 10, L = 3mm

when t = 20, L = 3 x 3 = 9mm

when t = 30, L = 9 x 3 = 27mm

when t = 40, L = 27 x 3 = 81mm
