Answer:

1,171,875

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this as my answer because this geometric sequence follows the pattern of times -5. So, I followed the pattern until I got the 9th term.

-15

times -5 -> -375

times -5-> 1,875

times -5-> -9,375

times -5-> 46,875

times -5-> -234,375

times -5-> 1,171,875

So, the 9th term of the geometric sequence is 1,171,875.

Aaron is at a spot in his book where the page numbers of the two facing pages have a product of 1980 what are the two page numbe

Alona [7]

Basically you know that they are 2 consecutive numbers whose product is 1980.
n*(n+1)=1980 
n^2 + n - 1980 = 0 
(n -44)(n + 45)= 0 
n=44 
so the 2 page numbers is 44 and 45. 

The faster way is just to take the square root of 1980 and since that is 44.497 you can conclude that the 2 numbers is below and above it (44, 45)

A roller coaster has four cars each with the same number of seats. these are 21 passengers seated in the roller coaster, but 3 s

belka [17]

Given:

Number of passengers seated in the roller coaster = 21

Empty seats = 3

Number of cars in roller coaster = 4 (each with the same number of seats)

To find:

An equation that can be used to determine the number of seats in each car.

Solution:

Let s be the number of seats in each car.

Total number of seats in 4 cars = 4s

Using the given information,

Total number of seats = Occupied seated + Empty seats

= 21 + 3

= 24

Now, the required equation is

$4s=24$

Therefore, the required equation is $4s=24$ .

Divide both sides by 4.

$s=\dfrac{24}{4}$

$s=6$

Therefore, the number of seats in each car is 6.
