7 0

$\bf \textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\ SA=4\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ A=14650000 \end{cases}\implies 14650000=4\pi r^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{14650000}{4\pi }=r^2\implies \cfrac{3662500}{\pi }=r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{3662500}{\pi }}=r\implies 1079.73\approx r$

What is the explicit formula for this sequence?

Zarrin [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The above sequence is a geometric sequence

For an nth term in a geometric sequence

$a(n) = a ({r})^{n - 1}$

where

n is the number of terms

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

From the question

a = 5

r = 10/5 = 2

Therefore the explicit formula for this sequence is

$a(n) = 5( {2})^{n - 1}$

Hope this helps you

The letter C, because the pattern is this (I think):

Every two letters it states the vowels (a,e,i,o,u)

Then in between every two letters there starts a pattern of, saying the alphabet in order and saying the alphabet backwards.
