Sequence: 5/2, 5/4, 5/8, 5/16
a8=?
a1=5/2
a2=5/4
a3=5/8
a4=5/16
a2/a1=(5/4)/(5/2)=(5/4)*(2/5)=(5*2)/(4*5)=2/4=1/2
a3/a2=(5/8)/(5/4)=(5/8)*(4/5)=(5*4)/(8*5)=4/8=1/2
a4/a3=(5/16)/(5/8)=(5/16)*(8/5)=(5*8)/(16*5)=8/16=1/2
Ratio: r=a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3→r=1/2
an=a1*r^(n-1)
a1=5/2, r=1/2
an=(5/2)*(1/2)^(n-1)
an=(5/2)*[1^(n-1)/2^(n-1)]
an=(5/2)*[1/2^(n-1)]
an=(5*1)/[2*2^(n-1)]
an=5/2^(1+n-1)
an=5/2^n
n=8→a8=5/2^8
a8=5/256
Answers:
The formula for the general term or nth term for the sequence is an=5/2^n
a8=5/256
The next set is the parametric equations of the same line .
x = t, y = 5 and z = -t .
What is the meaning of parametric and non parametric?
- The assumptions behind parametric statistics relate to the population's distribution from which the sample was drawn.
- Since no presumptions are made while using nonparametric statistics, data can be gathered from samples that do not fit any particular distribution.
x + y + z = 5, x + z = 0
the line satisfies
x + z = 0 , y = 5
thus
x = t, y = 5 and z = -t .
the first one is technically already the symmetric equations of the line.
thus:
x = -z ; y = 5
the next set is the parametric equations of the same line .
x = t, y = 5 and z = -t .

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x> or equal to -5
Step-by-step explanation:
5x – 6 – 8x ≤ 9
Combine the lioe numbers
-3x-6≤ 9
+6 to both sides
-3x≤ 15
Divide by a -3 to both sides
X>or equal to -5
Hope that helps
