Answer:

364/27

Step-by-step explanation:

9, 3, 1, ... is a geometric sequence with common ratio r = 1/3.

 

The nth term is a1rn-1.

 

If a1rn-1 = 1/27, then 9(1/3)n-1 = 1/27

 

                                32(3-1)n-1 = 3-3

 

                                3231-n = 3-3

 

                                    33-n = 3-3

 

                                      3-n = -3

 

                                         n = 6

 

The sum, Sn, of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is given by Sn = a1(1 - rn) / (1 - r).

 

So, 9 + 3 + 1 + ... + 1/27 = S6 = 9(1 - (1/3)6) / (1 - 1/3)

 

                                              = 9(1 - 1/729) / (2/3)

 

                                              = (27/2)(728/729) = 364/27

Which sequences are arithmetic? Check all that apply.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

3)    18, 5.5, –7, –19.5, –32, …   sequence is in Arithmetic Progression.

5)     16, 32, 48, 64, 80         sequence is in Arithmetic Progression.

Step-by-step explanation:

If, a, b, c ,k, e ... is a given sequence.

Then the above sequence is in AP if b - a   =  c - b = k - c = ...

or, each term has same COMMON DIFFERENCE (d).

Here, take each sequence and check for the value of d.

1) –5, 5, –5, 5, –5, …

Here, 5 - (-5)  = 10,   -5 - 5  = -10

and 10 ≠ -10.  So the sequence is NOT in Arithmetic Progression.

2)96, 48, 24, 12, 6

Here, 48 - 96  = -48,   24 - 48  = -24

and -48 ≠ -24.  So the sequence is NOT in Arithmetic Progression.

3)18, 5.5, –7, –19.5, –32, …

Here, 5.5 - 18 = -12.5    ,  -7 - 5.5 = -12.5  ..

and -12.5 is the common difference.  

So the sequence is in Arithmetic Progression.

4)–1, –3, –9, –27, –81, …

Here, -3-(-1)  =  - 2     -9 - (-3)  = -6

and -2 ≠ -6.  So the sequence is NOT in Arithmetic Progression.

5)16, 32, 48, 64, 80

Here, 32 - 16 = 16    ,  48  - 32= 16  ..

and 16 is the common difference.  

So the sequence is in Arithmetic Progression.
