Answer:
- -35/3, -140/3, - 560/3, -2240/3
- 7, -28, 112, - 448
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The terms are:</u>
<u>Given:</u>
- a₁ = a₂ + 35
- a₃ = a₄ + 560
<u>Use the nth term formula:</u>
- a₂ = a₁r
- a₃ = a₁r²
- a₄ = a₁r³
<u>Substitute:</u>
- a₁ = a₁r + 35 ⇒ a₁(1 - r) = 35
- a₁r² = a₁r³ + 560 ⇒ a₁(1 - r)r² = 560
<u>Divide the second equation by the first:</u>
- r² = 560/35
- r² = 16
- r = √16
- r = ± 4
<u>Use the first equation to find the first term:</u>
- a₁( 1 ± 4) = 35
- 1. a₁ = 35/-3 = -35/3
- 2. a₁ = 35/5 = 7
<u>We have two sequences:</u>
r = 4
- -35/3, -140/3, - 560/3, -2240/3
r = -4
If the cylinder already has 3.6 Liters in it, adding 600 mL would make the cylinder have 4.2 Liters of water in it.
We know this because 600 mL converted to Liters equals 0.6 L. So 3.6 L + 0.6 L = 4.2 Liters.
"Centi" means 100 so there are 100 centimeters in a meter. 4 times 100 equals 400 so 4 meters is equal to 400 centimeters.
