Write a rule for the nth term of the geometric sequence if r = 1/4 and a3 = 2.

GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago

Answer:

a_{n} = 32(\frac{1}{4})^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by the following equation.

a_{n+1} = ra_{n}

In which r is the common ratio.

This can be expanded for the nth term in the following way:

a_{n} = a_{1}r^{n-1}

In which a_{1} is the first term.

This means that for example:

a_{3} = a_{1}r^{3-1}

So

a_{3} = a_{1}r^{2}

2 = a_{1}(\frac{1}{4})^{2}

2 = \frac{a_{1}}{16}

a_{1} = 32

Then

a_{n} = 32(\frac{1}{4})^{n-1}

Answer:  D) 10 sin (πx) - 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The range (maximum - minimum) is 5 - (-15) = 20

The amplitude (A) is range (20) ÷ 2 = 10

The vertical shift (D) is maximum (5) - amplitude (10) = -5

Of the given options, only A & D are candidates.  Now we need to decide if it is a cos graph (A) or a sin graph (D).  If we shift the graph up 5 units (to eliminate the vertical shift) , the graph would pass through the origin.  Thus it is a sin graph and the answer must be option D.

Find the value of k if the distance between (2,k) and (6,7) is 4√2 unit​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the distance formula: d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}. We can plug in 4\sqrt{2} = d, x2 = 6, x1=2, y2 = 7, y1 = k.

Then, we can solve the question using some algebra to find that k = 3.

Edit: Here is a step by step:

4\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{(6-2)^2 + (7-k)^2}\\

(4\sqrt{2})^2 = (6-2)^2 + (7-k)^2

32 = (4)^2 + (7-k)^2

32 = 16 + (7-k)^2

32 - 16 =  (7-k)^2

16 =  (7-k)^2

\sqrt{16} =  (7-k)

4 = 7-k

k = 3

Brainliest if correct! Please explain how this is done!
Korvikt [17]

The value of csc C in fraction and in decimal form is as follows:

csc C  = 5 / 3

csc C = 1.66666666667

Using trigonometric ratio,

secant A = 1 / cos A = hypotenuse / adjacent

Therefore,

sec A = 5/3

sec A = 1 / cos A

cos A = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos A = 3 / 5

A = cos⁻¹ 0.6

A = 53.1301023542

Therefore,

∠A = 53°

∠B = 90°

∠C = 180 - 143 =  37°

cosec C = 1 / sin C = hypotenuse / opposite

cosec C = 5 / 3
