Find the sum of a 9-term geometric sequence when the first term is 4 and the last term is 1024?

1 answer:

8 0

The common ratio is 2, so the sum is
.. a1*(r^n -1)/(r -1)
.. = 4*(2^9 -1)/(2 -1)
.. = 4*511
.. = 2044

The sum of the sequence is 2044.

Write as an expression: a number that is equal to twice as much as x

lesantik [10]

Let's call the number we're looking for $y$ . We know that $y$ is twice as much as $x$ .

Twice as much as a number simply means the double of that number, and in turn the double of a number means to muliply that number by 2.

So, in order to obtain $y$ , you have to multply $x$ by 2. In formula, you have

$y = 2\cdot x$ or simply $y = 2x$

C^2-4=0 what are both solutions

Assoli18 [71]

The solutions are C = 2 and C = -2

We can find this by solving for C.

C^2 - 4 = 0 ----> add 4 to both sides
C^2 = 4 ----> Take the square root of both sides
C = 2

However, since we used the square root function, we have to include a negative form of the answer as well as the positive one we found.

Why are arithmetic sequences discrete data?

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

If you take any number in the sequence then subtract it by the previous one, and the result is always the same or constant then it is an arithmetic sequence.
