Answer:

nth term of the geometric sequence

an= -12*3^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First term

a= -12

Second term

ar= -36

-12r=-36

r=-36/-12

=3

Third term

ar^2= -108

-12(3)^2

= -12(9)

= -108

nth term of the geometric sequence

an=ar^(n-1)

= -12*3^(n-1)

ELEN [110]
Center piece was $40
Glasses were $2
I used the elimination method. I multiplied everything in the equation that represents the second order by five and subtracted it from the first orders equation. I then solved for y and got that each glass was $2. I then plugged the 2 back into the original equation to find that a centerpiece was $40.

The product of two positive consecutive odd integers is 2703. What are the positive numbers?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The positive numbers are 51 and 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first odd integer be x and another odd integer is (x+2).

According to the given condition,

The product of two positive consecutive odd integers is 2703 i.e.

x(x+2) = 2703

x^2+2x-2703=0

It is a quadratic equation. It can be solved as follows :

x = 51 and x = -53

Neglecting negative sign,

The first number = 51

Another number =(51+2) = 53

Hence, the positive numbers are 51 and 53.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

  12(m -5) = 540

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side of the equation is in the form of a product. A suitable product is ...

  (calories/minute) × (minutes jogging) = (calories burned)

If m represent Anzelm's total minutes, then m-5 will represent the number of minutes actually jogging. This is what goes inside parentheses, so we have ...

  (12 calories per minute) × ((m -5) minutes) = 540 calories

Leaving off the units, which we know are consistent, we have ...

  12 (m -5) = 540
