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}

3(b + 8) = b + 48 PORFAVOR con plantamiento operacion y resultado, y de paso me explique el temas nsd9ucancuqna :( amaba matemat
ipn [44]

Answer:

b=12

Step-by-step explanation:

3b +24= b +48

       -24       -24

   3b =  b+ 24

   -b      -b

2b = 24

÷2     ÷2

b=12

One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards find the probability of getting a red 10
Julli [10]
The probability of getting a red card is 1/2 and the probability of getting a 10 is 4/52. To find the probability of getting both a red card and a 10, multiply the two.

(1/2)(4/52) = 4/104
4/104 = 1/26

Therefore, the probability is 1/26

the longest side of an acute isosceles triangle 8 centimeters . Round to the nearest tenth, what is the smallest possible length
Triss [41]
Let x be the <span>length of each of two congruent sides.

</span>The triangle will be аcute if:     
x² + x² > 8²
2x² > 64
x² > 32
x > √32
x > 5.657

So, the smallest possible length of one of two congruent sides have to be 5.7 cm  (<span>to the nearest tenth)</span>
