Answer:

aₙ = 4(-1)ⁿ⁻¹(3)ⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence is

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

We can get the value for r by dividing aₙ by aₙ₋₁.

a₄/a₃ = -108/36

a₄/a₃ = -3

      r = -3

    aₙ = 4(-3)ⁿ⁻¹

aₙ = 4(-1)ⁿ⁻¹(3)ⁿ⁻¹

The (-1)ⁿ⁻¹ term makes even-numbered terms negative.

How to classify this conic ecwation 4x^2+9y^2-54y-63=0
MArishka [77]
This looks like an ellipse.
Complete the square for y: 9(y²-6y-7)=9(y²-6y+9-9-7)=9((y-3)²-16).
Rewrite the equation:
4x²+9(y-3)²-144=0; 4x²/144+9(y-3)²/144=1; x²/36+(y-3)²/16=1.
Standard equation of an ellipse is (x-h)²/a²+(y-k)²/b²=1, where (h,k) is the origin or centre.
This is the equation of an ellipse with centre (0,3), a=6 and b=4 (semimajor and semiminor axes).

Hello can someone help me with these four questions!!!
True [87]

Answer:

1) A = 27 square units, P = 24 units; 2) 276 mm; 3) A = 8, B = 4, C = 3, D = 5, 108 square feet; 4) 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The sides of the rectangle are 9, 9, 3, and 3.

2) 40 + 40 + 70 + 70 + 28 + 28

3) 32 + 6 + 6 + 24 + 40 = 108

4) 24 + 24 + 20 + 20 + 30 + 30 = 148

740/148 = 5

A machine requires three hours to make a unit of Product A and five hours to
svlad2 [7]

Let A unit be a; B unit be b

a + b = 95

b = 95 - a

3a + 5b = 395

3a + 5(95 -a) = 395

3a + 475 - 5a = 395

-2a = -80

a = 40

a + b = 95

40 + b = 95

b = 55

Therefore, a = 40; b = 55.

Hope this helps

Solve the system of equations<br><br> system
Korolek [52]

Answer:

(3, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - y = 6 → (1)

6x + y = 21 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y, that is

(6x + 3x) + (y - y) = (21 + 6), that is

9x = 27 (divide both sides by 9 )

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into either (1) or (2) and solve for y

Using (2), then

(6 × 3) + y = 21

18 + y = 21 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

y = 3

Solution is (3, 3 )

One number is 2 more than 3 times another. their sum is 22. find the numbers. 8, 14
bija089 [108]
X + y = 22
x = 3y + 2

3y + 2 + y = 22
4y + 2 = 22
4y = 22 - 2
4y = 20
y = 20/4
y = 5

x = 3y + 2 = 3(5) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

ur numbers are 5 and 17
