Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a geometric sequence.

The recursive formula is given as

a_n = \frac{1}{3} a_{n-1}

Hence ratio of nth term to n-1th term

=\frac{a_n}{a_{n-1} } =\frac{1}{3}

r=\frac{1}{3}

I term = a_1=-7

Hence explicit formula is

a_n = -7(\frac{1}{3} )^{n-1}

Option C is right

C

generate the first few terms using the recursive formula

a_{2} = - 7 × \frac{1}{3} = - \frac{7}{3}

a_{3} = - \frac{7}{3} × \frac{1}{3} = - \frac{7}{9}

a_{4} = - \frac{7}{9} × \frac{1}{3} = - \frac{7}{27}

r = a_{2} / a_{1} = \frac{1}{3}


the n th term formula (explicit ) for a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a_{1}r^{n-1} = - 7(\frac{1}{3})^(n - 1)

Maggie is displaying paperback and hardback books on her book shelf. The ratio of hardback books to total books is 5 to 13. Whic
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Total Paperback books = 8x , where x is any positive number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The total books are = 13x   ; where x is any positive number

As given,

The ratio of hardback books to total books is 5 to 13.

⇒Hardback books = \frac{5}{13}× Total books

⇒Hardback books = \frac{5}{13}× 13x = 5x

So, Paperback books = Total books - Hardback books

                                    = 13x - 5x

                                    = 8x

⇒Total Paperback books = 8x

What is 21000 rounded to the nearest ten thousand
denpristay [2]
A number rounded to the nearest 10000, means that the last four digits of that number (on the left of the decimal point) are 0.  
<span>However, if the fourth-last digit to the left of the decimal point is 5 or greater, the number to the left of that is rounded to 1 number higher.  For example, if you were rounding 145293 to the nearest 10000, it would be 150000. 

However, the </span>fourth-last digit to the left of the decimal point in this case is 1.  
Therefore, <span> 21000 rounded to the nearest 10000 is 20000.
