Answer:

The correct option is  D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the initial value of a GP is 1/2 and common ratio is 8. It means

a_1=\frac{1}{2}

r=8

The nth term of a GP is

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

where, a_1 is inital value and r is common ratio.

Substitute a_1=\frac{1}{2} and r=8 in the above formula.

a_n=\frac{1}{2}(8)^{n-1}

The exponential function to represent this sequence is

f(x)=\frac{1}{2}(8)^{x-1}

Therefore the correct option is D.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

the n th term of a geometric sequence is

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

Where a is the first term and r the common ratio

here a = \frac{1}{2} and r = 8, hence

f(x) = \frac{1}{2}(8)^{x-1} → D

Mark would like to build a rectangle frame. The dimensions of the frame are unknown, but the perimeter of the frame must be 80 y
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The length of the frame is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the length of the frame is shown below:

As we know that

The perimeter of a rectangle is

= 2 (length + width)

where,

let us assume the width be x

So, the length is x - 6

And, the perimeter is 80 yards

So, now put these values to the above formula

80 yards = 2 (x - 6+ x)

80 yards = 2 (2x - 6)

80 yards = 4x - 12

92 = 4x

x = 23

So, the length of the frame is

= 23 - 6

= 17

15 oranges weigh 3.75 kilograms (kg). If each orange weighs approximately the same, approximately how much does each orange weig
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Each weighs about 0.25kg

Step-by-step explanation

This is because since 15 oranges = 3.75, you should do 3.75 / 15 which gets you 0.25.
