A geometric sequence is a sequence with a common ratio multiplied by previous term to give the next. Lets call x the common ratio, so we know that 4 was multiplied by x to give the second term, and so forth until it was multiplied again and again by x until the 16384 was reached which happens to be the 13th term, that means that 4x was multiplied by x 12 more times to give 16384, that is:
4x^12 = 16384
x^12 = 4096
x = 4096^-12
x = 4.48 x 10^-44
that is the common ratio

Can someone help me and explain it to me
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

1) 6

2)4

3)27

4)126

5)15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We need to see how many 8-miles are in 24 miles, than multiple it with 2in.

(24/8)*2=3*2=6in

2. Fist we calcue how many 17-feets are in 68feets, and multiple that with 1in.

(68/17)*1=4

3. We first see how many 3ins are in 9ins, and than multiple that with 9feet

(9/3)*9=3*9=27

4. First see how many 2ins are in 36ins, and then multiple it with 7.

(36/2)*7=18*7=126feet

5. See how many 15fts are in 75ft And than multiple it with 3.

(75/15)*3=5*3=15

Humberly has $24 and they want to buy at least 8 containers of yogurt. Yogurt is packaged in both large and small containers. La
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Hence he will be 4 large containers and 4 small containers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the number of small containers be x

and the number of large containers be y

x+y= 8---------1

also

2x+4y= 24-----2

the system of equation to solve the problem is

x+y= 8

2x+4y= 24

from 1

x=8-y

put this in 2

2(8-y)+4y= 24

16-2y+4y= 24

2y= 24-16

2y= 8

y= 8/2

y= 4

put y= 4 in 1

x+4=8

x= 8-4

x= 4

Hence he will be 4 large containers and 4 small containers
