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

Mathematics
1 answer:
ololo11 [35]3 years ago

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

Pls help me it’s emergency plzz fast
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

67.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate profit = selling price - cost price

cost price = 50 × $28 = $1400

38 × $49 = $1862

12 × $40 = $480

selling price = $1862 + $480 = $2342

Profit = $2342 - $1400 = $942

% profit = \frac{profit}{cost} × 100%

             = \frac{942}{1400} × 100% ≈ 67.3% ( to 1 dec. place )

Three cubes of the same metal, whose edges are 6, 8, 10 cm are meltedand formed into a single cube. Find the diagonal of the sin
allochka39001 [22]

Answer: 12√2 cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Cube 1: V = 6³ = 216

Cube 2: V = 8³ = 512

Cube 3: <u>V = 10³ = 1000</u>

New Cube: V = 1728

1728 = s³

12 = s

So, each side of the new cube is 12 cm.

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the diagonal:

12² + 12² = diagonal²

144 + 144 = diagonal²

288 = diagonal²

√288 = diagonal

12√2 = diagonal

What is the arc measure of DBC in degree
aliya0001 [1]

The length of both AB and DC is the same.

19 degrees

We want to know the arc measure for the whole circle, except for DC. So, we can subtract the arc measure of DC from 360 to find DBC. Since we found DC above, all we need to do is subtract.

360 - 19 = 341

DBC = 341 degrees

Hope this helps!! :)
