There is no "standard" way to solve an exercise like this: you just have to eyeball the sequence and try to find/guess the pattern.

The most common (and easy!) examples are arithmetic or geometric sequence, where the difference or ratio between two consecutive terms is constant.

This is one of those cases: this is an arithmetic sequence, because you obtain every next term by subtracting 6 from the previous one:

a_1 = 7\\a_2 = a_1-6 = 7-6 = 1\\a_3 = a_2-6 = 1-6 = -5\\a_4 = a_3-6 = -5-6 = -11\\a_5 = a_4-6 = -11-6 = -17

So, we can deduce

a_6 = a_5-6 = -17-6 = -23

Expand the logarithm.<br> ln((-3e^5)/(x^3))
Valentin [98]

Answer:

ln(3) + 5 - 3ln(x) or 6.0986 - 3ln(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

ln(\frac{3e^{5} }{x^3} )

ln(\frac{3e^{5} }{x^3} ) = ln(3e^5)-ln(x^3), since ln(x/y) = ln(x)-ln(y)

ln(3e^5) = ln(3) + ln(e^5), since ln(xy) = ln(x) + ln(y)

ln(\frac{3e^{5} }{x^3} ) = ln(3) + ln(e^5)-ln(x^3)

ln(\frac{3e^{5} }{x^3} ) = ln(3) + 5ln(e) -3ln(x), since ln(x^y) = yln(x)

ln(\frac{3e^{5} }{x^3} ) = ln(3) + 5 -3ln(x) , since ln(e)=1

if needed further simplification,

ln(3) = 1.0986

ln(e) = 1

ln(\frac{3e^{5} }{x^3} ) = 6.0986 - 3ln(x)

Which i bigger 1/10 or 1/16 ?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Convert them to decimals.

1/10 is .10

1/16 is .062.

1/10 is bigger.

Another faster is to look at the denominators, but it can be misleading sometimes.

Hope this helps,

Round 2,874,992 to the nearest 10,000
AveGali [126]
2,870,000 is the answer because the 4,000 is less than 5,000 so it is rounded down.
