Answer:

The geometric series is given by:

a_n = 128\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The numbers of teams remaining in each round follows a geometric sequence.

Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio.

The n^{th} term of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = ar^{n-1}

There are 16 teams remaining in round 4 and 4 teams in round 6.

Thus, we can write:

a_4 = 16 = ar^3\\a_6 = 4 = ar^5

Dividing the two equations, we get,

\dfrac{16}{4}=\dfrac{ar^3}{ar^5}\\\\4=\dfrac{1}{r^2}\\r^2=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\r = \dfrac{1}{2}

Putting value of r in he equation we get:

16=a(\dfrac{1}{2})^2\\\\a = 16\times 2^3\\a = 128

Thus, the geometric sequence can be written as:

a_n = 128\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}

Find the area of a circle with the circumference 18(pi)
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

D 81 pi units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle  is given by

C = 2 * pi *r

18 pi = 2 * pi *r

Divide each side by 2 * pi

18 pi / (2 pi) = 2 pi * r/ (2 pi)

9 = r

Now we can find the area.  Area is given by

A = pi r^2

A = pi * 9^2

A = 81 pi units^2
