Answer:

S_3=39

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of the sequence is

a_n=3(3)^{n-1}

To get the first term, substitute n=1,

a_1=3(3)^{1-1}=3

To get the second term, substitute n=2,

a_2=3(3)^{2-1}=9

To get the third term, substitute n=3,

a_3=3(3)^{3-1}=27

The sum of the first three terms is

S_3=3+9+27=39

We could also use the formula

S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1} to get the same result.

Answer:

The correct answer is last option   39

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

aₙ = 3(3)ⁿ⁻¹

<u>To find a₁</u>

a₁ = 3(3)¹⁻¹ = 3(3)°

= 3 * 1 = 3

<u>To find a₂</u>

a₂ = 3(3)²⁻¹ = 3(3)¹

= 3 * 3 = 9

<u>To find a₃</u>

a₃ = 3(3)³⁻¹ = 3(3)²

= 3 * 9 = 27

<u>To find the value of S₃</u>

S₃ = a₁ + a₂ + a₃

 = 3 + 9 + 27 = 39

Therefore the correct answer is last option   39

hjlf

Answer:

Angle T= 36 degrees

Angle V= 54 degress

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so you know that this is a right angle and that all angles in a triangle add up to 180 degress

using that info,

you can say

2x+3x+90= 180

5x+90=180

5x= 180-90

5x= 90

x= 18

measure of angle T= 2x

2(18)= 36 degrees

measure of angle V= 3x

3(18)= 54 degrees

I hope this helps <3
