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
7
=
3
⋅
3
7
−
1

a
7
=
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 .

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given functions:</u>

  • f (x) = 2x + 2
  • g (x) = 3x – 1

<u>To find:</u>

  • (f/g) (2)

<u>Solution</u>

  • (f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x) = (2x + 2) / (3x - 1)
  • (f/g)(2) = (2*2 + 2) / (3*2 -  1) = 6/5 = 1.2

A high-speed bullet train travel 900 feet in 5 seconds at this rate how far would it travel in 1 minute
iragen [17]
Since there are 60 seconds in one minute, we can form the equation:
900 \div 5 = x \div 60
From here, we can cross multiply.
5x = 54000
x = 10800
The train would travel 10,800 feet in one minute.
