Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio,r. Considering the given sequence,

r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3

Therefore, the sequence is geometric.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = - 2

r = - 3

The explicit formula is

Tn = - 2 × (- 3)^(n - 1)

To find the 8th term, T8,

T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^(8 - 1)

T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^7

T8 = - 2 × - 2187

T8 = 4374

I need help with this does anyone understand this?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Let y = f(x)

=  > y =  \frac{19}{ {x}^{3} }

=  >  {x}^{3}  =  \frac{19}{y}

=  > x =   \sqrt[ 3]{ \frac{19}{y} }

{f}^{ - 1} (x) =   \frac{ \sqrt[3]{19} }{ \sqrt[3]{x} }

A city's population is 12,000 and grows at 2.6% rate. What will the population be after 25 years? A city's population is 230,000
Levart [38]

Answer:

The 12000 City would become 22,986 people, while the 230,000 city would become a population of 124,223.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st Part:

=12000⋅(0.026000000000000002⋅25)

=12000(2.718281828459045)(0.65)

=22986

2nd Part:

=230000⋅(−0.044000000000000004⋅14)

=230000(2.718281828459045)(−0.616)

=124223
