Answer:

an = 3*(2)^(n-1)  ... Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The two parameters of a geometric sequence are given:-

                                a1 = 3 , r = 2

Find:-

Which formula can be used to find the nth term in a geometric sequence

Solution:-

- A sequence can be expressed in a general form as:

                              a1 , a2 , a3 , a4 , .... an

- For a sequence to be classified as geometric we need two parameters that are first term and common ratio:

                              First term = a1

                              Common ratio = r = a2 / a1 = a3 / a2 = a4/a3 ... = an / an-1

- The given two parameters are:

                               a1 = 3 , r = 2

- The general term in a geometric sequence can be determined from the following formula:

                              an = a1*(r)^( n - 1 )

Where, n = 1 ,2 , 3 , 4 , ... Last term number.

                              an = 3*(2)^(n-1)

Hello : 
<span>the nth term in a geometric sequence where is ; 
an = a1 ×qn     .... q : common ratio       a1 the first term
exempl : 
C) an  =  2×3^n-1
an =2×3^n ×3^-1
an =(2/3)×3^n
a1 = 2/3  and q= 3
same method for : D

What is the solution to the equation PLS
brilliants [131]

Answer:

x=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the first thing you want to do is simplify like terms.

you could say this is as 4(x+7)=38

this can easily be solved algebraically.

first use distributive property on the four

this leaves you with 4x+28=38

next, subtract 28 from both sides

4x=10

now divide everything by four and you get x=2.5

How many x-intercepts does the graph of y = 2x^2 – 8x + 5 have?
nydimaria [60]
A graph of the equation shows the appropriate choice to be
  C. 2

_____
If you would rather, you can look at the value of the discriminant. For the equation y = ax²+bx+c, the discriminant (d) is
  d = b²-4ac
For your equation, this evaluates to
  d = (-8)²-4(2)(5) = 64 -40 = 24
When the discriminant is positive, the function has two real roots (2 x-intercepts). When it is zero, there is only one x-intercept, and when it is negative, there are none (the roots are complex).

In Mr. Scott’s class the ratio of boys to girls is 2:3. The total number of students in Mr. Scott’s class is 30. What percent of
Yuri [45]

Answer:

40% of the class is Girls, so 12 students are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

add up the ratio

2+3=5

divide by 5

30/5=6

multipy ratio to find totial number of students

2*6=12

2*3=18

divide the number of students to get the pecentage

12/30=0.4=40%

18/30=0.6=60%
