The first term of a geometric sequence is equal to a and the common ratio of the sequence is r.

Mathematics

Answer: (a)  {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...}, (b)  arⁿ⁻¹

For part (a), the question gives us the first term a, and then asks us to apply the common ratio r six times.

In order for ar = a, the nth term of r will have to equal 0 (this implies that n is an exponent; thus giving us the first term a, as r = 1).

Since we use this method on the first term, we must use it for the next five, in which r gains an additional exponent for every consecutive value (nth term) thereafter.  

Ultimately getting: {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...}

For part (b), we first have to understand that the sequence does not start at 0, but at 1 for n. In order for ar = a, with n = 1, there needs to be subtraction of -1 within the exponent. So that arⁿ⁻¹

If we check and apply this, we can see that:

{ar¹⁻¹, ar²⁻¹, ar³⁻¹, ar⁴⁻¹, ar⁵⁻¹, ar⁶⁻¹...} = {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...} = arⁿ⁻¹ = Tn

fgiga [73]

Find x-intercept and y-intercept

x-intercept = 3 → (3, 0)

y-intercept = -6 → (0, -6)

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-6-0}{0-3}=\dfrac{-6}{-3}=2

NARA [144]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  s ≥ 60

Step-by-step explanation:

If Scott earned 20 points more on this test, then he earned 20 points less on the last test. 20 points less than "at least 80" is "at least 60."

  s ≥ 60
