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}

Determine the greatest common factor of 28xy^9z and 32x^2y^7z
RSB [31]

Answer:

GCF = 4xy⁷z

Step-by-step explanation:

Do Prime Factorizations for each term and select only those terms common to each:

28xy⁹z = 2·2·7·x·y·y·y·y·y·y·y·y·y·z

32x²y⁷z = 2·2·2·2·2·x·x·y·y·y·y·y·y·y·z

GCF = 2·2·x·y·y·y·y·y·y·y·z

GCF = 4xy⁷z

Curtis threw 15 darts at a dartboard.40% of his darts hit the bull’s eye.how many darts not hit the bulls eye?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of darts that failed to hit the bulls eye is 40% of 15 subtracted from 15

Since 40% of the darts hit the bulls eye .

Therefore

40% of 15

40/100 x 15

0.4 x 15

6

This means that 6 darts hit the bulls eye.

Therefore,number of darts that did not hit the bulls eye is

15 - 6 = 9

9 darts failed to hit the bulls eye

Factor the quadratic by checking factor pairs.<br> -15x2 – 21x + 18<br> -15x2 – 218 + 19 = -3
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

-3(x + 2)(5x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x² – 21x + 18

-3(5x² + 7x - 6)

-3[5x² + 10x - 3x - 6]

-3[5x(x + 2) - 3(x + 2)]

-3(x + 2)(5x - 3)
