Find an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sphinxa [80]3 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

in a geometric sequence there is a constant factor x that is multiplied with every previous term to create the next one.

a2 = 20

a5 = 1280 = a2×x×x×x = a2×x³ = 20x³

64 = x³

x = 4

=> a1 = 5

therefore

an = an-1×4 =

a1 \times  {4}^{n - 1}

n > 1

A boy rides his bike at a speed of 28 miles per hour. How
sergejj [24]

Answer:

About 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion and cross multiply.

\frac{28 miles}{1 hour} = \frac{120 miles}{x}

Cross multiply.

120 = 28x

Divide by 28 on both sides.

= 4.28571428571

Round this to the nearest whole number, which is just 4. The answer is about 4 hours.
