Answer:

k = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of k terms of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is given by ...

... Sk = a1·(1 -r^k)/(1 -r)

For the given numbers, this is ...

... 118096 = 78732·(1 -(1/3)^k)/(1 -1/3)

Manipulating this to get the term containing k, we have

... 1 -(2/3)(118096/78732) = (1/3)^k

... 1/59049 = (1/3)^k

Taking logarithms, we get

... -log(59049) = -k·log(3)

... log(59049)/log(3) = k = 10

x = 3

2x + y - z = 3 → (1)

- x + y + 2z = 0 → (2)

3x + 2y + z = 9 → (3)

we require to eliminate the y and z terms from the equations

(1) + (3) : 5x + 3y = 12 → (4)

multiply (1) by 2

4x +2y - 2z = 6 → (5)

(2) + (5) : 3x + 3y = 6 → (6)

(4) - (6) : 2x = 6 ⇒ x = 3

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

6.7 /s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity = u m/s

From the question, final velocity, v = - 2u m/s

Note - (the minus sign indicates that the direction was reversed and doubled)

t = 0.45

From equation of motion,

v = u + at

Acceleration, a = (v - u)/t

= (-2u - u)/0.45

= - 3u/0.45

Acceleration, a/Original speed, u = 3/0.45

= 6.7 /s
