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}

Masja [62]

Answer:

He confused the height and diameter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The radius of the cylinder, r = 2.5 cm

Height of the cylinder, h = 24 cm

The volume of the cylinder is given by the formula as follows :

V=\pi r^2 h\\\\=3.14\times (2.5)^2\times 24\\\\=471\ cm^3

Vaughn is confused in diameter and the height of the cylinder. He takes radius as 12 cm and height as 5 cm which is wrong. Hence, the correct option is (a).

Answer:

QR = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the parallelograms are similar, then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{BC}{QR}, then

\frac{9}{3} = \frac{15}{QR} ( cross- multiply )

9QR = 45 ( divide both sides by 9 )

QR = 5
