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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of each curved path is 200 feet. Since the two curved semi circular paths are equal, they would form a circle. It means that the distance around the two semi circular paths would be the circumference of the circle. Formula for determining the circumference of the circle is π × diameter. It becomes

200 × 3.14 = 628 feet

Total distance around the track would be

300 + 300 + 628 = 1228 feet

5280 feet = 1 mile

1228 feet = 1228/5280 = 0.23 mile

If he runs around the track exactly 15 times, it means that the number of miles covered is

0.23 × 15 = 3.45 miles

Since he will collect $4.50 for every mile he runs, the amount of money that he collected is

4.5 × 3.45 = $15.5
