Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is no because no pocket can be empty and there isn't enough money to satisfy the condition. At least, one dollar must be stored in each pocket but the number (integer) of dollars in each pocket is different.

Let's store the minimum amount of dollars in the pockets while satisfying the condition. Place 1 dollar in the first pocket. The second pocket must have 2 dollars (it can't be 1 dollar, it must be a different number of dollars). The third pocket must have third dollars.

Repeating this process, the ninth pocket must have 9 dollars. At this moment, we have arranged 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45 dollars in our pockets. But we only had 44 dollars! Plus, the tenth pocket is still empty.

If you store more dollars on the first, second, nth pockets, you will just run out of money more quickly than in our process above. so it's impossible to arrange the money in such way.

He first term of a sequence is 2, and each subsequent term is the reciprocal of the square of the preceding term. what is the po
polet [3.4K]
The first term is a₁ = 2.
Each subsequent term is the reciprocal of the square of the preceding term.

2nd term:
a₂ = 1/2² = 1/4

3rd term:
a₃ = 1/(1/4)² = 1/(1/16) = 16

4th term:
a₄ = 1/16² = 1/256

5th term:
a₅ = 1/(1/256)² = 1/(1/65536) = 65536
The positive square root of the fifth term is
√(65536) = 256

Answer: 256
