Answer:

First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the first term and common ratio while we are given third term = 6 and seventh term = 96

Since common ratio is required so, the sequence is geometric sequence

The formula used is: a_n= a_1r^{n-1}

We are given: third term = 6 i,e

a_3=a_1r(3-1)\\6=a_1r^2----eq(1)

Seventh term = 96

a_7=a_1r(7-1)\\96=a_1r^6----eq(2)

Dividing eq(2) and eq(3)

\frac{96}{6}=\frac{a_1r^6}{a1r2}\\16=\frac{r^6}{r^2}\\16=r^{6-2}\\=> r^4=16\\Taking \ fourth \ root\\ r=2,-2,2i,-2i\\ \ We \ will \ consider \ only \ positive \ value \ of \ r \ i.e \ \textbf{ r= 2}

So, Common Ratio r = 2

Finding First term using eq(1)

a_3=a_1r^2\\6=a_1(2)^2\\6=a_1(4)\\a_1= \frac{6}{4}\\a_1= \frac{3}{2}

So, First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

The positions of the letters in naming the triangles in the statement of congruent tells you which sides are congruent.

△ABC≅△EFG

Sides AB and EF are congruent

△ABC≅△EFG

Sides BC and FG are congruent

△ABC≅△EFG

Sides AC and EG are congruent

The Russo-Japanese War was a conflict between Russia and Japan that started in the year 190419041904. Let xxx represent any year
wel
The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: number of years before the Russo-Japanese conflict began
 We write now the inequality that models the problem.
 We know that the conflict began in the year 1904, therefore, all the previous years are given by:
 x <1904
 Answer:
 
an inequality in terms of x and 1904 that is true only for values of x that represent years before the start of the Russo-Japanese War is:
 
x <1904
