Answer:

a_{n+1}=0.2a_n for all n>0, a_1=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \{a_n\}=\{16,3.2,0.64,0.128,\cdots \} be the sequence described.

A geometric sequence has the following property: there exists some r (the ratio of the sequence) such that \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=r forr all n>0.

To find r, note that

\frac{3.2}{16}=\frac{32}{10(16)}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2

Similarly

\frac{0.64}{3.2}=\frac{64}{10(32)}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2

\frac{0.128}{0.64}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2

Thus a_{n+1}=r a_n=\frac{a_n}{5}=0.2a_n for all n>0, and a_1=16

A circular cardboard piece is needed for the base of a volcano model. The volcano is 46 centimeters tall and has a volume of 800
Alenkinab [10]
For this case we can model the problem as a cylinder.
 The volume of a cylinder is given by:
 V = Ab * h&#10;
 Where,
 Ab: base area
 h: cylinder height
 Substituting values in the equation we have:
 800 = Ab * 46&#10;
 From here, we can clear the area of the base
 Answer:
 
An equation that can be used to find the area of the circular base is:
 
800 = Ab * 46

If terrance ran 12mph and jesse ran 8mph how long will it take them to run 50 miles
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Terrance would take 4.2666 hours, Jesse would take 6.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1h/12m per hour x 50m/1h is also 50m/12m per hour = 4.266 hours (round number)

1h/8m per hour is also 50m/8m per hour = 6.25 hours (round number)
