Answer:

a(10) = 3^9 = 19683

Step-by-step explanation:

In this sequence each new term is equal to 3 times the previous term. Thus, 3 is the common ratio. The first term is 1.

The general formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence i

a(n) = a(1)*r^(n -1), where r is the common ratio.

Here, a(n) = 1*3^(n - 1), and so

the 10th term is

a(10) = 1*3^(10 - 1), or

a(10) = 3^9 = 19683

In circle P with mNRQ = 60°, find the angle measure of minor arc NQ

Galina-37 [17]

Given:

m∠NRQ = 60°

To find:

The angle measure of minor arc NQ

Solution:

The inscribed angle is half of the intercepted arc.

$$\Rightarrow m\angle NRQ =\frac{1}{2} m(ar NQ)$

Multiply by 2 on both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 2 \times m\angle NRQ =2 \times \frac{1}{2} m(ar NQ)$

$$\Rightarrow 2 \ m\angle NRQ =m(ar NQ)$

Substitute m∠NRQ = 60°.

$$\Rightarrow 2\times 60^\circ=m(ar NQ)$

$$\Rightarrow 120^\circ=m(ar NQ)$

The measure of minor arc NQ is 120°.

Which sequence of transformations proves that shape I is similar to shape II?

4vir4ik [10]

Note that if you simply reflected it and dilated it, it would be too far to the left

note that the distances bewteen the axises in image 1 were 1 and 3in image 3,the distances are 2 and 6
seems to be 3 times
so it's the 90 counterclockwise rotation and dilation by scale factor of 3
answer is last one
