Since it is a geometric sequence each term will be a specific multiple of the term preceding it, called the common ratio...
126/42=378/126=1134/378=3
The sequence is a(n)=a(3)^(n-1) and we know the second term is 42 so:
42=a(3)^(2-1)
42=3a
a=14
So the first term is 14.
Answer:
5 cents each
Step-by-step explanation:
1.00 $ is equal to 100 pennies, so 100 ÷ 20 is 5, to check 5 cents times 20 is 100 cents or 1.00 $
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is C. 66.7</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. y varies directly with regard to x
y = 9 and x = 24
If y = 25, what is the value of x?
2. For finding that value of x, first of all, we should understand what happened to y.
If y moves from 9 to 25 it means that y has been multiplied by 2.77, using this simple division
25/9 = 2.777
3. And we should use that same number or value to calculate the new value of x
If x was 24, now the new value of x is 24 * 2.777
24 * 2.777 = 66. 67 or 66.7 (rounding to just one decimal)
<u>The correct answer is C. 66.7</u>
Without the table I will guess 5 is common to all 3 they are proportional
