Question: When you do adding fractions, do you have to find a common demoniter? *sorry for misspelling*

docker41 [41]

Answer: yes when your adding or subtracting fractions you must find the common denominator between the two before you continue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: 2/4+3/2

Find the common denominator. ( in this case the common denominator is 4)

We keep the first fraction as it is cause it has the denominator 4 and we multiply the second fraction by 2 up and down to get a denominator of 4. The equation becomes 2/4+6/4

Now you add the numerators and you got your answer ( don’t forget to simplify)

The answer after adding in this case is 8/4 and when simplified it is 2

Find the third, fourth, and fifth terms of the sequence defined by

statuscvo [17]

By the recursive definition,

$a_3=2a_2-a_1=2\cdot9-4=14$

$a_4=2a_3-a_2=2\cdot14-9=19$

$a_5=2a_4-a_3=2\cdot19-14=24$

$a_6=2a_5-a_4=2\cdot24-19=29$

If Randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice, and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, on average, how many do

drek231 [11]

Randy sells, in average, 460 vacuum cleaners per month.

<h3>How many vacuum cleaners does Randy sell each month?.</h3>

First, we know that Janice sells 690 units per year.

There are 12 months in a year, so the amount that she sells, in average, per month is:

J = 690/12 = 57.5

This means that Janice sells, in average, 57.5 units per month. And Randy sells 8 times as many, then we can solve the product:

R = 8*57.5 = 460

This means that Randy sells 460 units per month.

Mohamed and Li Jing were asked to find an explicit formula for the sequence -5, -25, -125, -625,....

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Li Jing's formula i.e. $\boxed{g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}}$ is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sequence

$-5,\:-25,\:-125,\:-625,...$

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by

$g_n=g_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{g_{n+1}}{g_n}$

$\frac{-25}{-5}=5,\:\quad \frac{-125}{-25}=5,\:\quad \frac{-625}{-125}=5$

$\mathrm{The\:ratio\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms\:is\:the\:same\:and\:equal\:to}$

$r=5$

So, the sequence is geometric.

$\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is}$

$g_1=-5$

$r=5$

$g_n=g_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:$

$g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}$

Therefore, Li Jing's formula i.e. $\boxed{g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}}$ is right.
