The turtle population will be 486 after 5 years.

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

The general form of a geometric progression or geometric sequence is a, ar, ar², ar³ and so on.

where,

  • a = first term
  • r = common ratio

<u>The formula to find the nth term in GP is :</u>

nth term = ar^{n-1}

The given sequence 6,18,54.

In this sequence,

  • The first term, a = 6
  • The common ratio, r = 18/6 = 3

5th term = 6\times3^{5-1}

⇒ 6\times3^{4}

⇒ 6\times81

⇒ 486

Therefore, after 5 years the population will be 486.

You decide to put the Gamer table on sale for 20% off. You normally charge $210 for this table. What is the amount of the discou
kvasek [131]
First, you would multiply $210 by 20%
This is done by converting 20% to a decimal, .2

So, 210 • .2 = 42

Then to find the sale price, you would subtract that 42 that you just got from 210,

and you get $168 as the final sale price.

The data set shown below represents the number of times some families went out for dinner the previous week. 4, 2, 2, 0, 1, 6, 3
Mkey [24]

Dot plots are used to represent data using dots

The true statements about the dataset are:

  • The range of the number line should be 0 to 7 to represent the frequency.
  • Four families said they ate out twice the previous week.
  • One family said they ate out 5 times the previous week

The dataset is given as:

4, 2, 2, 0, 1, 6, 3, 2, 5, 1, 2, 4, 0, 1

Rearrange in ascending order

0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6

Represent as a frequency table

Data     Frequency

0               2

1                2

2                4

3               0

4               2

5               1

6               1

See attachment for the dot plot

From the attachment, we can see that:

  • 4 has a frequency of 2
  • 5 has a frequency of 1

Also, the range on the dot plot can be 0 to 7, because it covers the given dataset

Hence, the true statements are: (a), (b) and (c)
