a = 4 first term, r = ?, T10 = 100.

Tn = ar^n - 1 formula for g.p

T10 = 4r^ 10 - 1

100 = 4r^9

Divide both side by 4

100/4 = 4/4r^9

25 = r^9 take the 9th root of both side

9√25 = 9√r^9

r = 9√25

To find the nth term

Since Tn = ar^n - 1

a rectanglar solid has a base with lint 2 cm and width 8 cm. If the volume of the solid is 106 cm 3 to the highest, find the hei

Vanyuwa [196]

The hint says that volume of a rectangular solid = l*w*h, where l = length, w = width, and h = height. Use this to solve for the height of the solid by plugging in the numbers you know.

You know that length, l = 2cm, width, w = 8cm, and, *EDITED* volume = 160 cm^3. Plug these values into the equation for volume (the hint) and solve for h, the height:
Volume = lwh
160 = (2)(8)(h)
160 = 16h
h = 10cm

Answer: The height is 10 cm

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

$a)3n + 4 \\ \\n = 1 \\ 3 \times 1 + 4 \\ 3 + 4 \\ =7 \\ \\ n = 2 \\ 3 \times 2 + 4 \\ 6 + 4 \\ = 10 \\ \\ n = 3 \\ 3 \times 3 + 4 \\ 9 + 4 \\ = 13 \\ \\ n = 4 \\ 3 \times 4 + 4 \\ 12 + 4 \\ = 16 \\ \\ n = 10 \\ 3 \times 10 + 4 \\ 30 + 4 \\ = 34 \\$

So in this sequence,

1st term = 7

2nd term = 10

3rd term = 13

4th term = 16

10th term = 34

$b)4n - 5 \\ \\ n = 1 \\ 4 \times 1 - 5 \\ 4 - 5 \\ = - 1 \\ \\ n = 2 \\ 4 \times 2 - 5 \\ 8 - 5 \\ = 3 \\ \\ n = 3 \\ 4 \times 3 - 5 \\ 12 - 5 \\ = 7 \\ \\ n = 4 \\ 4 \times 4 - 5 \\ 16- 5 \\ = 11 \\ \\ n = 10 \\ 4 \times 10 - 5 \\ 40 - 5 \\ = 35$

In this sequence,

1st term = -1

2nd term = 3

3rd term = 7

4th term = 11

10th term =35
