Answer:

The required recursive formula is:

a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a geometric sequence as:

6,-18,54,-162,.....

Clearly after looking at different terms of the sequence we could observe that the sequence is an geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio= -3 denoted by r.

Let a_n represents the nth term of the sequence.

This means that:

a_1=6, a_2=-18, a_3=54, a_4=-162,......

As the common ratio is -3.

so,

a_1=6\\\\a_2=-18=(-3)\times a_1\\\\a_3=54=(-3)\times a_2\\\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}

Hence, the required recursive formula for the geometric sequence is:

a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}

puteri [66]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x9\dfrac{3}{5}\to x\in\left(-\infty,\ -1\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\ \cup\ \left(9\dfrac{3}{5},\ \infty\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

12x+7

5x-8>40\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\5x-8+8>40+8\\\\5x>48\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5x}{5}>\dfrac{48}{5}\\\\x>\dfrac{48}{5}\\\\x>9\dfrac{3}{5}\\===========================

x9\dfrac{3}{5}

Ronaldo can kick a soccer ball 35 meters per second which is about 80 mph. He kicked the ball from one end of the field to the o
professor190 [17]

Answer:

t=3.142sec

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of ball V=35m/s\approx 80 mph

Length of field l=110m

Generally the equation for Time taken t is mathematically given by

 t=m/V

 t=110/35

 t=3.142sec

 t \approx \frac{3.142}{60}

 t \approx 0.05hrs

Therefore it will take the ball to get from one end of the field to the other

t=3.142sec
