Answer:
6, 2, 2/3, 2/9, 2/27, 2/81
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as;
Tn = ar^n-1
a is the first term
n is the number of terms
r is the common ratio
Given
a = 6
r = 1/3
when n = 1
T1 = 6(1/3)^1-1
T1 = 6(1/3)^0
T1 = 6
when n = 2
T2= 6(1/3)^2-1
T2= 6(1/3)^1
T2 = 2
when n = 3
T3 = 6(1/3)^3-1
T3= 6(1/3)^2
T3= 6 * 1/9
T3 = 2/3
when n = 4
T4 = 6(1/3)^4-1
T4= 6(1/3)^3
T4= 6 * 1/27
T4 = 2/9
when n = 5
T5 = 6(1/3)^5-1
T5= 6(1/3)^4
T5= 6 * 1/81
T5 = 2/27
when n = 6
T6 = 6(1/3)^6-1
T6= 6(1/3)^5
T6= 6 * 1/243
T6 = 2/81
Hence the first six terms are 6, 2, 2/3, 2/9, 2/27, 2/81

Step-by-step explanation: im a differnet breed duh
2x+y=9
3x+5y=19
I will do this problem in 2 ways. I.)Substitution II.)Elimination
Solution I.) Substitution
We can subtract 2x from both sides in the first equation.
y=9-2x
Now we can substitute the y in the second equation with 9-2x
3x+5(9-2x)=19
-7x+45=19
-7x=-26
x=26/7
y=9-2(26/7)=11/7
Solution II.)Elimination
We can multiply both side of first equation by 5 to get a 5y in both equations.
10x+5y=45
Now because both are positive 5y we just need to do simple subtraction of the 2 equation, each side respectively.
(10x+5y)-(3x+5y)=45-19
7x=26
x=26/7
2*26/7+y=9
y=11/7
Ultimately you get the same answer, both are viable methods, some problems are faster with one method but I recommend mastering both since they are very useful.
Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2/3
(2,-5)...x = 2 and y = -5
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y int
-5 = -2/3(2) + b
-5 = - 4/3 + b
-5 + 4/3 = b
- 15/3 + 4/3 = b
- 11/3 = b
equation is : y = -2/3x - 11/3...but we need it in standard form
Ax + By = C
y = -2/3x - 11/3
2/3x + y = - 11/3....multiply by 3
2x + 3y = -11 <== standard form
Answer:
2.39 x 10^5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Although it is not usually written, there is always a .0 at the end of a number unless there is a specific decimal that was given.
So, the number here is 239,000.0 and if you count the number of spaces that the decimal needs to move in order to be in the correct spot for scientific notation (which is always after the first number), there is 5 spaces.
Therefore the answer is 2.39 x 10^5 miles.
