First, we are going to find the common ratio of our geometric sequence using the formula:

. For our sequence, we can infer that

and

. So lets replace those values in our formula:


Now that we have the common ratio, lets find the explicit formula of our sequence. To do that we are going to use the formula:

. We know that

; we also know for our previous calculation that

. So lets replace those values in our formula:

Finally, to find the 9th therm in our sequence, we just need to replace

with 9 in our explicit formula:



We can conclude that the 9th term in our geometric sequence is <span>

Answer:
We need 232 mL of Compound A
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the ratio
A : B : total
4 3 4+3
4 3 7
We want 406
406 /7 =58
Multiply each part by 58
A : B : total
4*58 3*58 7*58
232 174 406
We need 232 mL of Compound A
<u>Finding the Decay constant(λ):</u>
λ = 0.693 / (half-life)
we are given that the half-life is 36 hours
λ = 0.693 / (36)
λ = 0.01925 /hour
<u>Time taken for 87% decay:</u>
Since decay is first-order, we will use the formula:

Where A₀ is the initial amount and A is the final amount
Let the initial amount be 100 mg,
the final amount will be 87% of 100
Final amount = 100*87/100 = 87 mg
<em>Replacing the values in the equation: </em>

<em />
<em />
<em />
t = 7.18 hours
<em>We used 'hours' as the unit because the unit of the decay constant is '/hour'</em>
Therefore, the drug will decay to 87% of initial dosage after 7.18 hours

Answer:
a[n] = n^2 -3n -6
Step-by-step explanation:
First differences are ...
-8 -(-8) = 0
-6 -(-8) = 2
-2 -(-6) = 4
Second differences are ...
2 -0 = 2
4 -2 = 2
Constant second differences indicate a degree 2 (quadratic) sequence.
The general formulation can be written as ...
an = a1 +(n -1)(d1 +(n -2)/2(d2)) . . . . where a1 is the first term; d1 is the first first difference; d2 is the second difference
= -8 +(n -1)(0 +(n -2)/2(2)) = -8 +(n -1)(n -2)
an = n^2 -3n -6 . . . . . formula for the n-th term
A. you can convert it to miles by doing the problem 950,400/5280=180
B. probably miles since that is the biggest us unit
C.60 miles per hou
