Answer is below..............
Answer:
a_n = 3^(n -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is given by ...
a_n = a1·r^(n-1)
Your sequence has first term 1 and ratio r=3, so the sequence is given by ...
a_n = 3^(n -1)

<em>Comment on sequences and series</em>
The sequences we commonly study are "arithmetic" and "geometric." Each of these has an explicit formula for the n-th term, based on the first term and the common difference or ratio. Similarly, each series (sum of terms of a sequence) also has a formula. That's 4 formulas to keep track of; not difficult. One of them, the formula for the n-th term of a geometric sequence, is shown above.
39. because its close to it lol.
Answer:
y=4/5x-3 - (-5, -7)
Step-by-step explanation:
So to solve this, lets just plug in each value for x, and see if the y value we get is equal to one of our answers.
So we have (-10, 5)
Well plug in -10 for 4/5x we get:
-40/5=-8
Next we take that value and solve:
y=-8-3
y=-11
The answer for this was 5, not -11.
Ill skip a few steps:
(10, -11):
Plug in 10 we get:
y=8-3 which is y=5. This is not right, for it needed to be -11.
Next we have (5, -1)
This gets us y=4-3 this is y=1 which is not -1. So thats not right.
Finally we have (-5, -7):
This gets us y=-4-3 this is y=-7. What was our y value? -7!
So the answer is (-5, -7)
I hope this helps! :)
So to figure this out we are looking for the amount of customers in the store each our, so we simply divide 120 by 6 and get 20 as our answer.
