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}

How do we get 45 in this????

Answer:

A. 45h = 1,575

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezoid = 1,575 cm² (given)

We are given the length of both bases, a = 63 cm and b = 27 cm

We need to find the formula that will enable us determine its height (h).

Thus:

Area of trapezoid = ½(a + b)h

Plug in the values

½(63 + 27)h = 1,575

½(90)h = 1,575

45h = 1,575

The answer is A. 45h = 1,575

Joanie runs the concession stand for the school's baseball games. At each game, the best selling items are pretzels and hot dogs
timama [110]
3p+2h=195

p + 15 = h

3p + 2(p + 15) = 195

3p + 2p + 30 = 195

5p = 165 (combine like terms and isolate your variable)

p = 33

33 + 15 = 48 (plug 33 into your original second equation)

ANSWER: 33 pretzels and 48 hotdogs
**You can plug these into your original (first) equation to check your answer
