Answer:

2a. aₙ = 12 * -2ⁿ⁻¹; a₈ = -1536

2b. aₙ = 4 * 3ⁿ⁻¹; a₈ = 8748

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric sequence formula is aₙ = a₁ * rⁿ⁻¹.

2a:

a₈ = 12 * -2⁸⁻¹ <em>{Subtract 1 from 8 to get 7}</em>

a₈ = 12 * -2⁷ <em>{2⁷ is 128. Since the exponent is odd, this will be negative.}</em>

a₈ = 12 * (-128) <em>{Multiply 12 by -128 to get -1536.</em>

a₈ = -1536

2b:

a₈ = 4 * 3⁸⁻¹ <em>{Subtract 1 from 8 to get 7)</em>

a₈ = 4 * 3⁷ <em>{7 is the 3rd number after 4 (a multiple of 4). As a result, this will end in a 7. 3⁷ is 218</em><em>7</em><em>.}</em>

a₈ = 4 * 2187 <em>{Multiply 4 by 2187 to get 8748}</em>

a₈ = 8748

Which table of ordered pairs represents a proportional relationship?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Third table

Step-by-step explanation:

For the relationship to be proportional

y/x = constant

First table y/x = 8/4 = 2    then 7/11 doesn't =2  so it is not

Second table y/x =52/5 = 5    then 49/7 doesn't =5  so it is not

Third table y/x = 3/6=1/2    then 5/10 = 1/2   then 7/14 = 1/2  it is proportional

Last table y/x = 6/3 = 2    then 11/8 doesn't =2  so it is not

Susan needs 228 ounces of fruit juice for a party. She is choosing between two brands of juice. She finds the unit rate of each
Sergio [31]

Answer:

"Brand A costs approximately $0.21 per ounce, and Brand B costs approximately $0.18 per ounce."

In order to find the rounded cost per one item (in this case, per one ounce) Susan needs to divide the total price between the number of units and after that, round the result obtained up to the nearest cent.

Therefore:

Brand A

2.55$/12 ounces= 0.2125 $/ounce

As the third decimal digit, 2, is closer to 0 than to 9, then we maintain the second decimal digit as 1.

The price per unit of brand A after rounding it up is 0.21 $ per ounce

Brand B

1.45$/8 ounces= 0.1812

As the third decimal digit, 1, is closer to 0 than to 9, then we maintain the second decimal digit as 8.

The price per unit of brand B after rounding it up is 0.18 $ per ounce
