Answer:

a_n = 128\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The numbers of teams remaining in each round follows a geometric sequence.

Let a be the first the of the geometric sequence and r be the common ration.

The n^{th} term of geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = ar^{n-1}

a_4 = 16 = ar^3\\a_6 = 4 = ar^5

Dividing the two equations, we get,

\dfrac{16}{4} = \dfrac{ar^3}{ar^5}\\\\4}=\dfrac{1}{r^2}\\\\\Rightarrow r^2 = \dfrac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow r = \dfrac{1}{2}

the first term can be calculated as:

16=a(\dfrac{1}{2})^3\\\\a = 16\times 6\\a = 128

Thus, the required geometric sequence is

a_n = 128\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}

Lexi say that -68 feet is a greater depth than- 75 feet, since-68>-75. Is Lexi correct? Explain
lara [203]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

When working with negative numbers in terms of depth, greater depth are depicted by values as we move farther to the left of the number line.

With this in mind, - 75 feets is farther to the left of the number line and as such represents a greater depth value Than - 68 feets

Therefore, when expressing depth or elevation distances, the values should be iewwd in absolute terms. Then |75| > |68|. While bearing in mind that depth is downward and thus negative

Find the exact value of x.
frozen [14]

Answer:

9*√3

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact value of Sin60 = √3/2

Sin(60)  = opposite side/ hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 18

√3/2 = x / hypotenuse

√3 / 2 = x / 18     multiply by 18

18 √3 /2 = x        divide by 2  

9 √3   = x

Find the greatest possible value for a+b+c+d if b is a positive integer and a,b,c,d satisfy the system of equations
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

a+b+c+d = -5\cdot b

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is now reduced:

1) a+b = c, b+c = d, c+d=a, b > 0 Given

2) a = c+d By 1)

3) (c+d)+b=c 2) in 1)

4) d = b + c By 1)

5) [c+(b+c)]+b = c 4) in 3)

6) 2\cdot b + 2\cdot c = c Algebra

7) c = -2\cdot b Algebra

8) d = -b 7) in 4)/Algebra

9) a = -3\cdot b 7) and 8) in 2)/Algebra

10) a+b+c+d = -5\cdot b 9), 1), 7) and 8)/Algebra/Result

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-1,2) and (4,3)
Bad White [126]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (3-2)/(4 - -1)

   (3-2)/(4+1)

    1/5
