40, 10, 5/2 5/8... (fractions) is it arithmetic or geometric and what are the next two terms PLZ HELP DUE IN 10 MINS

patriot [66]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

$40,\:10,\:\frac{5}{2},\:\frac{5}{8}$

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

$\:a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

$\frac{10}{40}=\frac{1}{4},\:\quad \frac{\frac{5}{2}}{10}=\frac{1}{4},\:\quad \frac{\frac{5}{8}}{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{1}{4}$

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

$r=\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the given sequence is a geometric sequence.

As the first element of the sequence is

$a_1=40$

Therefore, the nth term is calculated as

$\:a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

$a_n=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}$

Put n = 5 to find the next term

$a_5=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5-1}$

$a_5=40\cdot \frac{1}{4^4}$

$a_5=\frac{40}{4^4}$

$=\frac{2^3\cdot \:5}{2^8}$

$a_5=\frac{5}{2^5}$

$a_5=\frac{5}{32}$

now, Put n = 6 to find the 6th term

$a_6=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6-1}$

$a_6=40\cdot \frac{1}{4^5}$

$a_6=\frac{40}{4^5}$

$=\frac{2^3\cdot \:5}{2^{10}}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{2^7}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{128}$

Thus, the next two terms of the sequence 40, 10, 5/2, 5/8... is:

$a_5=\frac{5}{32}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{128}$

The measure of an angle is 140°. What is the measure of its supplementary angle

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles are angles in which their measures combined add up to 180 degrees. So we can set up an equation:

140+x=180

x=40

So the other supplementary angle is 40 degrees

Canada has a population that is about 1/10 as large as the United States. If Canada's population is about 32 millon, about how m

bezimeni [28]

Since 32 mil is 1/10 of the US pop, multiply 32 mil by 10 so you get the 10/10 aka the whole US pop. That means it would be 320,000,000. All you do is add a zero to 32 mil since you multiply by 10. 32 mil originally had 6 zeros. After multiplying, you have 7 zeros.

Ibrahim wants to give each of his six friends 1 2/3 candy bars. How many candy bars does he need to buy?

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

10 candy bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each of his friends needs a candy bar, you need to multiply 6 and 1 ⅔ together.

First, convert 1 ⅔ into an improper fraction: this gives us ⁵⁄₃.

Next, multiply ⁶⁄₁ and ⁵⁄₃ together. To do this, you can visualize 6 as ⁶⁄₁ (which is the same thing). Now you have ⁶⁄₁ x ⁵⁄₃.

<u>Simplify:</u>

The 6 in the numerator and the 3 in the denominator cancel out. This gives us ²⁄₁ x ⁵⁄₁ , which is 2 x 5.

2 x 5 = 10
