Given:
The sequence is
1, 4, 16, 64
To find:
The general term of the given sequence.
Solution:
We have, the sequence
1, 4, 16, 64
Here, the ratio between two consecutive terms is same. So, it is a geometric sequence.
First term is:

Common ratio is:



The nth term of a geometric sequence is
...(i)
Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
Putting a=1 and r=4 in (i), we get


Therefore, the general term of the given sequence is
.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges: convert each given proper fraction into its decimal counterpart:
3 63/80 => 3 .788 approx.
3 1/5 => 3.2
3 11/20 => 3.55
It's now an easy matter to arrange these numbers from least to greatest:
3.2, 3.55, 3.79, or
3 1/5, 3 11/20, 3 63/80

Question #2
Erica will have to work for 14 hours in order to buy her sneakers.
How to solve:
You subtract $31 from $150 which equals to $119
You multiply 8.50 (which is the amount of money she gets paid every hour) by the answers they gave you.
8.50 multiplied by 14 is 199
Erica had to work 14 hours to make $199
Your answer is D) 14
