Answer:

a_n=a_{n-1}(\frac{1}{3})\\a_1=27

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive formula is a formula in which each term is based on the previous term.

In a geometric sequence, each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant.

To get from 27 to 9, then from 9 to 3, etc., we would multiply by 1/3.  This makes the common ratio 1/3.

The recursive formula for a geometric sequence is

a_n=a_{n-1}(r), where a_n represents the general term,  a_{n-1}, represents the previous term, and r represents the common ratio.

Plugging in our values, we have

a_n=a_{n-1}(r)

We also have to indicate what the first term, a₁, is.  In this sequence, it is 21.  This gives us

a_n=a_{n-1}(\frac{1}{3})\\a_1=27

Rule: Divide by three

The terms in this sequence can be determined by dividing the previous number by (positive) three. 

27/3 = 9

9/3 = 3

3/3 = 1... 

      and so on and so forth...

Hope this helps! :)

147.1 is what percent of 155
Harrizon [31]
Solution for what is 147.1% of 155

155/x=100/147.1
(155/x)*x=(100/147.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
155=0.67980965329708*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.67980965329708) to get x
155/0.67980965329708=x 
228.005=x 
x=228.005

now we have: 
147.1% of 155=228.005

Please explain how to do and set up
In-s [12.5K]

A

using the Cosine rule in ΔSTU

let t = SU, s = TU and u = ST, then

t² = u² + s² - (2us cos T )

substitute the appropriate values into the formula

t² = 5² + 9² - (2 × 5 × 9 × cos68° )

   = 25 + 81 - 90cos68°

   = 106 - 33.71 = 72.29

⇒ t = \sqrt{72.29} ≈ 8.5 in → A
