Answer:

The correct answer is: 360.

Explanation:

First we can express 120 as follows:

2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 120

You can get the above multiples as follows:

120/2 = 60

60/2 =30

30/2 = 15

15/3 = 5 (Since 15 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)

5/5 = 1

Take all the terms in the denominator for 120, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 --- (1)

Second we can express 360 as follows:

360/2 = 180

180/2 = 90

90/2 =45

45/3 = 15 (Since 45 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)

15/3 = 5

5/5 = 1

Take all the terms in the denominator for 360, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 --- (2)

Now in (1) and (2) consider the common terms once and multiple that with the remaining:

2*2*2*3*5 = Common between the two

3 = Remaining

Hence (2*2*2*3*5) * (3) = 360 = LCM (answer)

vovangra [49]

A

this is a geometric sequence since there exists a common ratio r between the terms

r = \frac{21}{7} = \frac{63}{21} = \frac{189}{63} = 3

B

to obtain the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by 3

a_{n+1} = 3 a_{n} ← recursive rule

C

the n th term of a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a_{1} r^{n-1}

where a_{1} is the first term in the sequence

a_{n} = 7 × 3^{n-1} ← explicit rule
