The numbers of teams remaining in each round of a single-elimination tennis tournament represent a geometric sequence where an i

s the number of teams competing and n is the round. There are 16 teams remaining in round 4 and 4 teams in round 6.

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}

What is the solution to the inequality -13x+6<14-5x
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

x > -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-13x+6

-13x+5x

-8x

\frac{-8x}{-8} >\frac{8}{-8}

x>-1

* Remember that,

if you have a negative sign (-) infront of the x you have to change the direction of the inequality sign.

Hope this helps you .

Find the surface area of the triangular prism.
sattari [20]
You have to work out the area of each side. The two identical triangles are 6x4=24 because 8/2 is 4. The base is 8x5=40. The back is 6x5=30 and the top is 10x5=50. You then add them all together to get 144 ft squared.

A triangle has one leg that measures 12 cm and a hypotenuse 24 cm. Find the length of the other leg to the nearest tenth of cent
Minchanka [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  20.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "hypotenuse" suggests this triangle is a right triangle. Then the other leg can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  x^2 +12^2 = 24^2

  x^2 = 576 -144 = 432

  x = √432 ≈ 20.8 . . . cm

The other leg is about 20.8 cm.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

A right triangle with a short leg that is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse is the "special" 30°-60°-90° right triangle. The longer leg is √3 times the length of the short leg: 12√3 ≈ 20.8 cm.
