Mathematics

Sphinxa [80]2 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

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

  1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of 30% solution for 1 unit of 5% solution. Then the amount of acid in the mix is ...

  0.30x + 0.05·1 = 0.10·(x +1)

  0.30x + 0.05 = 0.10x + 0.10 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.20x = 0.05 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.05+0.10x

  x = 0.05/0.20 = 1/4

That is, the ratio x : 1 is 1 : 4.
