Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

an = ar^(n-1)

a = first term

n = nth term

r = common ratio

r = r2 / r1 = r3 / r2

The first 3 terms are :

486, 162, and 54

Hence,

a = 486

r = 162 / 486 = 1/3

Hence ;

a5 = 486(1/3)^5 - 1

a5 = 486(1/3)^4

a5 = 486(1 / 81)

a5 = 486 * 1 / 81

a5 = 486 / 81

a5 = 6

The 5th term of the geometric progression will be ; 6

Mr. O'Brien is paid $7.30 per hour for the first 40 hours he works in a week. he is paid 1.5 times that rate for each hour after
nikklg [1K]
No it would be $481. 80 because of the 1.5. you ar3 supposed to do 7.30 times 44 and then equals 321.20 so you times that by 1.5

Which coordinate pairs make the equation x-9y=12 true?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

(12,0) and (3, -1) and (0,-4/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find if a point makes an equation true, just substitute its x and y values in in the equation and simplify.

1) Let's test the point (12,0). Substitute 12 for x and 0 for y in the equation:

x-9y=12\\(12)-9(0)=12\\12-0=12\\12=12

12 does equal 12, so (12,0) makes the equation true.

2) Let's test the point (0, 12). Substitute 0 for x and 12 for y in the equation:

x-9y=12\\(0)-9(12) = 12\\0-108 = 12\\-108 = 12

However, -108 does not equal 12, so (0,12) does not make the equation true.

3) Let's test the point (3, -1). Substitute 3 for x and -1 for y in the equation:

x-9y=12\\(3)-9(-1) = 12\\3 + 9 = 12\\12 = 12

12 does equal 12, so (3, -1) makes the equation true.

4) Let's test the point (0, -4/3). Substitute 0 for x and -4/3 for y in the equation:

(0) -9(-\frac{4}{3} ) = 12\\0 + \frac{36}{3} = 12\\0 + 12 = 12 \\12 = 12

12 does equal 12, so (0, -4/3) makes the equation true.
