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:

Amphibians! In order for water-dwelling animals to adapt to life on land, many new adaptations had to take place. First, they needed to be able to breathe air instead of obtaining oxygen from water. And fins don't work well as legs! They needed to be able to move around well on land.

What group of animals begins its life in the water, but then spends most of its life on land? Amphibians! Amphibians are a group of vertebrates that has adapted to live in both water and on land. Amphibian larvae are born and live in water, and they breathe using gills. The adults live on land for part of the time and breathe both through their skin and with their lungs as their lungs are not sufficient to provide the necessary amount of oxygen.

There are approximately 6,000 species of amphibians. They have many different body types, physiologies, and habitats, ranging from tropical to subarctic regions. Frogs, toads, salamanders , newts, and caecilians are all types of amphibians.

Morgan’s grandmother orders her groceries online and has them delivered to her house. Her bill is $120. She has a coupon for 20%
iragen [17]

Answer:

The total price of the groceries, including discount and tip is $110.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the bill amount of groceries   = $120

Now, the coupon off  = 20%

Calculating the discount, we get

20% of bill amount $120  =   20% of 120  = \frac{20}{100}  \times 120  = 24

So, the 20% discount on the bill amount = $24

The actual payable amount = Bill Amount  - Discount

                                                =  $120 - $24  = $96

Now, 15% tip is also applied on the actual payable amount $96.

15% of 96 = \frac{15}{100}  \times 96  = 14.4

So, the total price t  = Payable amount + Tip amount

                                 = $96 +  $14.4   =  $110.4

or, t = $110.4

Hence, the total price of the groceries, including the discount and the tip  is  t = $110.4.
