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

How many days would it take you to get an 1 million pennies if you count one penny each second
Ymorist [56]

Approximately 11.6 Days

To get this,

- Divide 1,000,000 by 60 to get the amount of minutes it would take

- The divide the amount of minutes by 60 to get the hours it would take

- Lastly, divided by 24 to get the amount of days

1,000,000 / 60 = 16,666.667 minutes

16,666.667 / 60 = 277.778 hours

277.778 hours / 24 = 11.574 days

A wheel has a radius of 12 cm.
Vladimir [108]

Result: <u>Circumference = 150.72cm</u>

Explanation:

To find the circumference, C, we will use this formula:

C = 2 * 3.14 * r

Substitute:

C = 2 * 3.14 * 12

Multiply:

2 x 12 = 24

24 x 3.14 = 75.36

___________________________________________________________

And since the question asked for two revolutions.

All we need to do is multiply 75.36 by 2:

75.36 x 2 = <u>150.72</u>

S = 7x^2....divide both sides by 7
1/7s (same as s/7) = x^2...now take sqrt of both sides
(+ - ) sqrt 1/7s = x
