\frac{b}{b-3} - \frac{5}{b} = \frac{3}{b-3}  \\   \frac{ b^{2} -5(b-3)}{b(b-3)} =\frac{b}{b-3} \\  \frac{ b^{2} -5b+15}{b^2-3b} =\frac{b}{b-3} \\ (b-3)(b^{2} -5b+15)=b(b^2-3b) \\ b^3-8b^2+30b-45=b^3-3b^2 \\ 5b^2-30b+45=0 \\ b^2-6b+9=0 \\ (b -3)(b-3)=0 \\ b=3

To check: 3/3-3 - 5/3 = 3/0 - 5/3 which is not defined.

Therefore, b = 3 is an extraneous solution.

PLEASE HELP! IF YOU DON'T KNOW DON'T ANSWER! 60 POINTS!!

Answer:

an = 1/2 (4)^ (n-1)

a6 = 512

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a geometric sequence is

an = a1 (r)^(n-1)

where an is the term of the sequence

a1 is the initial term of the sequence

r is the ratio

and n is the term number

We know a1 = 1/2 and r =4

I will assume that x=6 means we want to know the 6th term

an = 1/2 (4)^ (n-1)

We want to find the 6th term

a6 = 1/2 * 4^(6-1)

a6 = 1/2 * 4^5

a6 = 512
