Answer:

  a_n = 3^(n -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is given by ...

  a_n = a1·r^(n-1)

Your sequence has first term 1 and ratio r=3, so the sequence is given by ...

  a_n = 3^(n -1)

_____

<em>Comment on sequences and series</em>

The sequences we commonly study are "arithmetic" and "geometric." Each of these has an explicit formula for the n-th term, based on the first term and the common difference or ratio. Similarly, each series (sum of terms of a sequence) also has a formula. That's 4 formulas to keep track of; not difficult. One of them, the formula for the n-th term of a geometric sequence, is shown above.

What is the solution for 2y=x+2<br> x-3y=-5
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

x = 4

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given </u><u>equations </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • 2y = x + 2
  • x - 3y = -5

<u>Second</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>can </u><u>be</u><u> written</u><u> as</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u>

  • x - 3y = -5
  • -3y = -x - 5

<u>Adding</u><u> </u><u>them </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • -3y + 2y = 2 -5
  • -y = -3
  • y = 3

<u>Put </u><u>this </u><u>in </u><u>(</u><u>ii)</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • x = 3y - 5
  • x = 3*3 - 5
  • x = 9 -5
  • X = 4
