What is the explicit rule for the geometric sequence?<br> 600, 300, 150, 75, ...

pochemuha

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, this is a geometric sequence so we are looking for a multiplicative factor.

$a_0=600\\\\a_1=a_0 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}} = 300 = 600 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\a_2=a_1 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}} = 150= 300 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\a_3=a_2 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}} = 75 = 150 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}$

So, the explicit formula is for n

$\boxed{a_n=a_0\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^n=600\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^n}}$

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

How much candy corn is in this jar?! How can I tell! Please help

Alisiya [41]

Honestly, I don't think there is a certain method or anything to find how much candy corn there is in that jar. Try counting and rounding or just take a solid guess ! You'll maybe be closer to the answer by taking a solid guess ! Good luck :)

Solve for x X - 1/2 (8 - x) = x + 3(4 - x) - x<br> A) -32/9<br> B) -9/32<br> C) 32/9<br> D) 9/32

Option C

$x = \frac{32}{9}$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

$x - \frac{1}{2} \times (8 - x) = x + 3(4 - x) - x$

We have to solve for "x"

From given,

$x - \frac{1}{2} \times (8 - x) = x + 3(4 - x) - x$

Solve for brackets

Use distributive property

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Therefore,

$x - 4 + \frac{x}{2} = x + 12 - 3x - x$

Combine the constants

$x + \frac{x}{2} = x - x - 3x + 12 + 4\\\\x + \frac{x}{2} = -3x + 16$

Move the variables to left side of equation

$x + \frac{x}{2} + 3x = 16$

Combine the like terms

$2x + x + 6x = 32\\\\9x = 32\\\\x = \frac{32}{9}$

Thus option C is correct
