What is a formula for the nth term of the given sequence?

Mathematics

lakkis [162]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is a geometric sequence because the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

an = a1r^(n - 1)

Where

a1 represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a1 = 36

r = 12/36 = 4/12 = 1/3

Therefore, the formula for the nth term of the sequence is

an = 36 × 1/3^(n - 1)

an = 36 × 3^-1(n - 1)

an = 36 × 3^(-n + 1)

an = 36 × 3^(1 - n)

Find all solutions in the interval [0, 2π). tan x + sec x = 1
svp [43]
Use the identity 
sec^2x = 1 + tan^2 x
- so sec x = sqrt(1 + tan^2 x) then:-
tan x + sqrt( 1 + tan^2 x) = 1
sqrt ( 1 + tan^2 x) = 1 - tan x
1 + tan^2 x  = 1 + tan^2x - 2 tan x
0 = -2 tanx 

tan x = 0 

x =  0, π 
π is an extraneous root because sec 180 = -1 
So the answer  is 0 degrees

Ursula and Andre competed against each other in a swimming race. Ursula swam at a rate of 60 meters per minute and Andre swam at
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Given that the two swimmers competed and Ursula's speed is 60 m/min while Andre's speed is 48 m/min. The distance that the Ursula will catch up with Andre will be:
distance=(relative speed)×(time)
relative speed=60-48=12 m/min
the two swimmers met at a distance of:
12×1
=12 meters
