Erms.
For 3, 9, 27, ... the common ratio is 3 because:
3 X 3 = 9
9 X 3 = 27
So to find the 7th term you can do it two ways:
One way:
3 is the 1st term, 9 is the 2nd term, 27 is the 3rd term so then
4th term: 27 X 3 = 81
5th term: 81 X 3 = 243
6th term: 243 X 3 = 729
7th term: 729 X 3 = 2,187
Another way:
You can use the explicit formula
a
n
=
a
1
⋅
r
n
−
1
, where
a
n
is the nth term,
a
1
is the first term, n is the number of the term, and r is the common ratio
so
a

3
⋅
3

−

a

=
3
⋅
3
6

a
7
=
3
⋅
729

a
7
=
2
,
187

Both ways get you to the same answer that the 7th term in that geometric sequence is 2, 187 .

A large field measures 70 feet by 525 feet. If you divide it up into equal square garden plots, what size would the largest poss
fenix001 [56]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  35 feet square

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor of 70 and 525 is 35. The largest square plot can be 35 feet on a side.

  70 = 2·35

  525 = 15·35

__

I like to find the GCD (greatest common divisor) using Euclid's algorithm. We find the remainder when dividing the larger by the smaller. When that remainder is not zero, we replace the larger number with the remainder, and repeat. When the remainder is zero, the divisor is the GCD.

  525/70 = 7 r 35

  70/35 = 2 r 0 . . . . . 35 is the GCD

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

p=25

Step-by-step explanation:

-5[-9=-\frac{p}{5} -4]    Get rid of the fraction by multiplying the whole equation by -5.

45=p+20      Then, subtract 20 from both sides.

25=p
