Answer:

The correct answer is option (2) 19,531

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data;

a = 1 (first term)

r = 5 (five offspring)

n = 7 ( number of hours)

Using the formula of a geometric progression, we have

S₇ = \frac{a(r^{n} - 1) }{r -1}

Substituting, we have

S₇ = \frac{1(5^{7} -1) }{5-1}

S₇ = 78124/4

    = 19531

Therefore, there are 19531 number of organisms at hour seven.

A(n)=3/2(-2)^(n-1). What is the 3rd term in the sequence?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

A(3) = 3/2(-2)²

A(3) = 3/2(4)

A(3) = 12/2

A(3) = 6
