Answer:

The common ratio is \frac{1}{4}

The next term in the sequence is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the common ratio is the constant value you multiply a term by in order to find the value of the following term. Therefore, it is mathematically calculated as the quotient between a term and the term immediately before it. And it is in fact That is:

common ratio r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}

This quotient should be true for any two consecutive terms in the sequence.

so using the first two terms, we find:

r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=\frac{a_{2}}{a1}=\frac{128}{512} =\frac{1}{4}

You can test that this common ratio is true for all other terms listed:

\frac{a_3}{a_2} =\frac{32}{128} =\frac{1}{4} \\\frac{a_4}{a_3} =\frac{8}{32} =\frac{1}{4} \\

So now, in order to find the term that follows, all we need to do is to multiply the last term given (8) by this common ratio:

a_5=8*\frac{1}{4} =2

Hello,

y=5+3*cos (2(x-π/3))

The function is periodic with periode=2π.


-1<=cos (2(x-π/3))<=1
==>-1*3<=3*cos (2(x-π/3))<=3*1
==>5-3<=5+3cos(2(x-π/3))<=5+3
==>2<= y<=8

Solve for A if Ab = ut<br> Solve for c if Kc = 9 a<br> Solve for D if Bd = Ca
pychu [463]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ab = ut

Divide both sides by b

A = ut/b.

The other 2 are solved in a similar way:

Kc = 9a

c = 9a/K

Bd = Ca

d = Ca/B.

there is an invitation fee to join the pine river country club, as well as monthly dues. the total cost after 7 months membershi
Bumek [7]
1.5 year is also 17 months. so 4060-3125=935 which equals 10 months, then 935÷10=93.5 which gives us the monthly dues. Then 93.5×7=654.5 which gives us the total of monthly dues for 7 months without the intuition fee. Then 3125-654.5=2470.5 that gives us the intuition fee.
