The numbers of teams remaining in each round of a single-elimination tennis tournament represent a geometric sequence where an i
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a_n = 128\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The numbers of teams remaining in each round follows a geometric sequence.

Let a be the first the of the geometric sequence and r be the common ration.

The n^{th} term of geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = ar^{n-1}

a_4 = 16 = ar^3\\a_6 = 4 = ar^5

Dividing the two equations, we get,

\dfrac{16}{4} = \dfrac{ar^3}{ar^5}\\\\4}=\dfrac{1}{r^2}\\\\\Rightarrow r^2 = \dfrac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow r = \dfrac{1}{2}

the first term can be calculated as:

16=a(\dfrac{1}{2})^3\\\\a = 16\times 6\\a = 128

Thus, the required geometric sequence is

a_n = 128\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}

Examine the quadratic equation 9x^2+12x +4= 0.
mestny [16]

Answer:

See answers and explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Discriminant = b² - 4ac = (12)² - 4(9)(4) = 144 - 144 = 0

B) Since the discriminant is 0, this means the equation only has one root.

C) The root is real in this case since the discriminant is not negative. Otherwise, we would have two imaginary roots if it were (remember that complex roots come in pairs)
