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
7
−
1

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 .

The number 2017 can be expressed as the difference of the squares of two consecutive whole numbers. What is the sum of these two
SSSSS [86.1K]

Let x be the first number

X + 1 be the second number

So

(x+1)^2 – x^2 = 2017

X^2 + 2x +1 – x^2 = 2017

2x + 1 = 2017

2x = 2017 – 1

2x = 2016

X = 1008

X + 1 = 1009

Sum = 1008 + 1009 = 2017

The florist charges $31.75 for eight roses and five carnations. For one rose and three carnations, it cost $5.75. What is the co
Sedbober [7]

Cost for a carnation is $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Rose = x

Carnation = y

According to given statement;

8x+5y=31.75   Eqn 1

x+3y=5.75   Eqn 2

Multiplying\ Eqn\ 2\ by\ 8\\8(x+3y=5.75)\\8x+24y=46 \ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 1\ from\ Eqn\ 3\\(8x+24y)-(8x+5y)=46-31.75\\8x+24y-8x-5y=14.25\\19y=14.25\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 19\\\frac{19y}{19}=\frac{14.25}{19}\\y=0.75

Cost for a carnation is $0.75
