What is the explicit formula for the sequence 10, 15, 22.5, 33.75, …?

Mathematics

Flura [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there's no one one number you can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next number, this is not arithmetic. It must be geometric. We need then to find the common ratio. Let's start with the first 2 numbers, find a ratio, and then use it to test for accuracy.

10x = 15 and

x = \frac{15}{10}=\frac{3}{2} If this is in fact a geometric sequence witha common ratio of 3/2, we should be able to multiply 15 by 3/2 to get to the next number in the sequence. Let's try it out:

15(\frac{3}{2})= \frac{45}{2}=22.5 Good. So the common ratio is 3/2. The formula for an explicit geometric formula is

A_n=a_1(r)^{n-1 where a1 is the first number in the sequence and r is the common ratio. Filling in:

A_n=10(\frac{3}{2})^{n-1

How do I find the midpoint
Hunter-Best [27]

To find the midpoint of a line use the midpoint formula which is M = (x1+x2/2 , y1 +y2/2) After plugging in the coordinates for your variables you should get (-1+5/2, -1+2/2) This simplifies to (2, 1/2) which is the coordinates for the middle point of the base XY.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

108 pi inches cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is base area times volume. Since we have our base area of 12 pi, and our height of 9, we have the are as 12* 9 = 108 pi inches cubed. Thus, the answer is D.
