Why is 1/6 greater than 1/8 but less than 1/3

1 answer:

7 0

I would show it in decimals. Seeing it to show how close it is to one would make it a lot easier- 1/6= .16. 1/8=.125 and 1/3=.33 So looking at the decimals you can see how one would be bigger than the other

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence 2, 8, 32, 128

Alja [10]

The first term, a, is 2. The common ratio, r, is 4. Thus,

a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).

Check: What's the first term? Let n=1. Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8. Is that correct? No.

Try this instead:

a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1). Is this correct? Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2? 2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2. YES.

The desired explicit formula is a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.

The ratio 12:20 because you need it to be equal to 3:5. 3 times 4 which makes 12 so you need to multiply 5 with 4 too

A simple impact crater on the moon has a diameter of 15 kilometers. a complex impact crater has a radius of 30 kilometers. how m

timurjin [86]

The general equation for computing the circumference of a circle is $C=\pi d$ , where C is the circumference, and d is the diameter. (You might also see the equation as $C=2 \pi r$ where r is the radius, because $d=2r$ )

Computing the circumferences of the two circles, we get:
$C_{d=15}=\pi (15)=15\pi$
$C_{d=30}=\pi (30)=30\pi$ .

To calculate the ratio of two numbers, we can divide one by the other. You can look at this as "How many times does the denominator fit in the numerator?"
$\frac{C_{d=30}}{C_{d=15}}=\frac{30\pi}{15\pi}=2$
So the circumference of the complex impact crater is 2 times greater than the circumference of the simple impact crater.
