Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) since the sixth term is 3 and the fifth term 24, the common ratio would be 3/24 = 1/8
The formula for finding the nth term of a geometric sequence is
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
If t6 = 3,r = 1/8, then
3 = a × 1/8^(6 - 1) = a × (1/8)^5
a = 3/(0.125)^5 = 98304
The first term is 98304.
Second term is 98304 × 1/8 = 12288
Third term is 12288 × 1/8 = 1536
Third term is 1536 × 1/8 = 192
2) t1 = 4
t2 = - 3t(2- 1) = - 3t1 = - 3 × 4 = - 12
t3 = - 3t(3- 1) = - 3t2 = - 3 × - 12 = 36
t4 = - 3t(4- 1) = - 3t3 = - 3 × 36 = - 108
3) let the numbers be t2,t3 and t4
The sequence becomes
1/2, t2,t3, t4,8
The formula for finding the nth term of a geometric sequence is
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
8 = 1/2 × r^(5 - 1)
8 = 1/2 × r^4
16 = r^4
2^4 = r^4
r = 2
t2 = 1/2 × 2 = 1
t3 = 1 × 2 = 2
t4 = 2 × 2 = 4
Answer:
9m+6m^2n
Step-by-step explanation:
12mn-3mn=9mn
4m^2n+2m^2n=6m^2n
==> 9m+6m^2n
or rewrite as 3m(3+2mn)
Answer:
x ≥ -7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 2x ≥ -4
Subtract 3 from each side
3-3 + 2x ≥ -4-3
2x ≥ -7
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 ≥ -7/2
x ≥ -7/2
50a + 20w is greater than or equal to 350
Answer:
Answers B, E and F (1, 5 and 6).
Step-by-step explanation:
In an exponential equation, (y=ab^x), the "b" value must be a decimal less than 1 (but greater than 0) for it to be considered an exponential decay function. Only equations B, E and F have a "b" value that fits this criteria.
