The answer is B, which is 4q
Answer:
Ai. Common ratio = 2/3
Aii. First term = 54
B. Sum of the first five terms = 422/3
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
3rd term (T3) = 24
6Th term (T6) = 64/9
First term (a) =?
Common ratio (r) =?
Sum of the first five terms (S5) =?
Ai. Determination of the common ratio (r).
T3 = ar²
T3 = 24
24 = ar²....... (1)
T6 = ar⁵
T6 = 64/9
64/9 = ar⁵......... (2)
The equation are:
24 = ar²....... (1)
64/9 = ar⁵......... (2)
Divide equation 2 by equation 1.
64/9 ÷ 24 = ar⁵ / ar²
64/9 × 1/24 = r³
8/27 = r³
Take the cube root of both side
r = 3√(8/27)
r = 2/3
Thus, the common ratio is 2/3
Aii. Determination of the first term (a).
T3 = ar²
3rd term (T3) = 24
Common ratio (r) = 2/3
First term (a) =?
24 = a(2/3)²
24 = 4a/9
Cross multiply
24 × 9 = 4a
216 = 4a
Divide both side by 4
a = 216/4
a = 54
Thus, the first term (a) is 54
B. Determination of the sum of the first five terms.
Common ratio (r) = 2/3
First term (a) = 54
Number of term (n) = 5
Sum of first five terms (S5) =?
Sn = a[1 –rⁿ] / 1 – r
S5 = 54[1 – (⅔)⁵] / 1 – ⅔
S5 = 54 [1 – 32/243] / ⅓
S5 = 54 (211/243) × 3
S5 = 54 × 211/81
S5 = 6 × 211/9
S5 = 2 × 211/3
S5 = 422/3
Thus, the sum of the first five terms is 422/3
Answer:
2/16
Step-by-step explanation:
i just doubled he equation
Answer:
A) Lifetime: 200+15x
Health Bridge: 50+30x
B.1) Yes, they are both the same price after 10 Months at an amount of $350
B.2) Lifetime gym would be cheaper by $30
C) Health Bridge Gym because it is $60 less
D) Lifetime Gym
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 200=Initial Fee___15=Monthly Cost___x=Months
50=Initial Fee___30=Monthly Cost___x=Months
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B.1) 200+15(10)=350
50+30(10)=350
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B.2) 200+15(12)=$380
50+30(12)=$410
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C) 200+15(6)=290
50+30(6)=230
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lifetime Gym's initial fee is greater than Health Bridge's fee but without exceeding $500, you are able to go to the gym for 20 months rather than 15 months using Health Bridge's plan.
D)200+15(20)=$500
50+30(15)=$500

I hope this is enough work shown, if you need a better understanding let me know and I will revise the equations for you.
