Find the 9th term of the geometric sequence 6,-24,96...

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

A9 = 393216

Step-by-step explanation:

the first thing that will help you solve this question is finding the common ratio between each terms

the first thing that I like to do that usually helps is to take the second term (-24) and divide it by the first term (6) --> this will usually help you spot the common ratio fairly quickly

in your case, the common ratio is -4

- you can also check this by following my note above and then multiplying the second term by the common ratio to see if it matches the third term, which it does!

so now you can go about this two different ways

1. solve directly for the 9th term

2. use the nth term formula for geometric sequences

METHOD 1:

if you continue to multiply by -4 to solve for each term you would end up with:

6, -24, 96, -384, 1536, -6144, 24576, -98304, 393216

and you will recieve 393216 as your answer

METHOD 2:

the nth term formula is An = A1*r^(n-1)

where An = the nth term of the sequence

A1 = first term of the sequence (6)

and r = common ratio

using this formula, you would get:

A9 = 6(-4)^8

A9 = 393216

I hope this helped :)

Sarah would like to make a 6 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of a mixture that is 80%

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

a. The system of equations that models the situation is....

$0.80x+0.50y=3.60\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40$

b. The solution to the system: x = 2 and y = 4

The amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is 4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the amount of 80/20 mixture is $x$ pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is $y$ pounds.

So, the amount of peanuts in 80/20 mixture $= 0.80x$ pound and the amount of almonds in 80/20 mixture $=0.20x$ pound.

And the amount of peanuts in 50/50 mixture $=0.50y$ pound and the amount of almonds in 50/50 mixture $=0.50y$ pound.

Now, Sarah would like to make a 6 pounds nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

So, the amount of peanuts in that mixture $=(6\times 0.60)=3.60$ pounds

and the amount of almonds in that mixture $=(6 \times 0.40)= 2.40$ pounds.

So, the system of equations will be.........

$0.80x+0.50y=3.60 ...................(1)\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40...................(2)$

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we will get.....

$(0.80x+0.50y)-(0.20x+0.50y)=3.60-2.40\\ \\ 0.60x=1.20\\ \\ x= \frac{1.20}{0.60}=2$

Now, plugging this $x=2$ into equation (1), we will get......

$0.80(2)+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 1.60+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 0.50y=3.60-1.60=2\\ \\ y=\frac{2}{0.50}=4$

So, the amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is 4 pounds.

In meters what is the value of x? Pls i really dont know how to do this

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

x = 75 m

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of similar triangles solved using proportions.

In similar triangles, corresponding side lengths are proportional.

Here the small and large triangles are similar because the have all three angles congruent.

By proportions, identifying corresponding sides,

x/45 = 50/30

solve for x

x = 45*(50/30) = 75 m
