Which formula can be used to find the ninth term of a geometric sequence where the first term is 8 and the common ratio is -3

1 answer:

3 0

For a geometric sequence with a first term of "a" and a common ratio of "r", the n-th term is
.. an = a*r^(n-1)

For this problem, you have a = 8, r = -3, and n = 9. Filling these values into the formula gives
.. a9 = 8*(-3)^(9-1)
.. a9 = 8*(-3)^8

_____
a9 = 52,488

Part A- Create a fourth degree polynomial in standard form. How do you know it is in standard form?

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

(a) $2x^4-9x^3+x^2+x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the unknown variable in the polynomial.

A polynomial is said to be in standard form when it is arranged in descending order/powers of x.

An example of a fourth degree polynomial is: $2x^4-9x^3+x^2+x-5$

We know the polynomial above is in standard form because it is arranged in such a way that the powers of x keeps decreasing.

(b)Polynomials are closed with respect to addition and subtraction. This is as a result of the fact that the powers do not change. Only the coefficients

change. This is illustrated by the two examples below:

$(2x^5-3x^2+x)+(3x^5-5x^2)\\=2x^5-3x^2+x+3x^5-5x^2\\=5x^5-8x^2+x\\$Similarly\\(2x^5-3x^2+x)-(3x^5-5x^2)\\=2x^5-3x^2+x-3x^5+5x^2\\=-x^5+2x^2+x$

The degrees do not change in the above operations. Only the number beside each variable changes. Therefore, the addition and subtraction of polynomials is closed.

Answer:

105 sq cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom rectangle is 6 x 15 = 90 sq cm

The triangle at the top has a length of 15 - 9 = 6 cm and a height of 11 - 6 = 5 cm.

A triangle is 1/2bh so 1/2 x 6 x 5 = 15 sq cm
