Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
5^2 means 5*5 not 5*2
5^2 = 5*5 = 25 not 10
Let
. Then

lies in the second quadrant, so

So we have

and the fourth roots of
are

where
. In particular, they are




I’m saying (x+2) if you factor the denominators
Answer:
<u>a(n)=80*(9/10)^(n-1)</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
I think u r confused
this sequence is geometric not arithmetic
HOw we know that ??
when we get a common difference <u>that must Be equal </u>
d=72-80=-8 not equal to d=64.8-72=-7.2
So it is not arithmetic
but when we get the common ratio that also must <u>be equal </u>
r=72/80=9/10 equal to r=64.8/72=9/10
So it is geometric
By using this equation:
a(n)=a*r^(n-1)
and we have <u>a=80 , r=9/10</u>
Then <u>a(n)=80*(9/10)^(n-1)</u>
<em>I really hope this helps <3</em>
A(n) = current term
a(n + 1) = next term
in a geometric sequence, the next term comes from a product of the current term and the common ratio.
the common ratio can be any value, let's say use r = ½.
if the current term is say hmmm 40, the next term is 40*½ , or 20, so indeed, the next term is smaller.
