Find the next two terms of each geometric sequence (show work)

Mathematics

musickatia [10]3 years ago

Answer:

\huge\boxed{1.\ -120,\ -240}\\\boxed{2.\ \dfrac{10}{3},\ \dfrac{10}{9}}\\\boxed{3.\ \dfrac{27}{32},\ \dfrac{81}{64}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{if}\\a_1,\ a_2,\ a_3,\ ...\text{is a geometric sequence}\\\text{then}\\\\\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{a_4}{a_3}=...=\dfrac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}=const.=r\\\\a_n=a_{n-1}r

1.\\-15,\ -30,\ -6\\\\\dfrac{-30}{-15}=-2;\ \dfrac{-6}{-30}=\dfrac{1}{5}

it,s not a geometric sequence...

I think it should be:

-15,\ -30,\ -60,\ ...\\\\\dfrac{-30}{-15}=2;\ \dfrac{-60}{-30}=2\\\\next\\\\-60\cdot2=-120\\-120\cdot2=-240

2.\\90,\ 30,\ 10,\ ...\\\\\dfrac{30}{90}=\dfrac{1}{3};\ \dfrac{10}{30}=\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\next\\\\10\cdot\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{10}{3}\\\\\dfrac{10}{3}\cdot\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{10}{9}

3.\\\dfrac{1}{4},\ \dfrac{3}{8},\ \dfrac{9}{16},\ ...\\\\\dfrac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{1}{4}}=\dfrac{3}{8}\cdot\dfrac{4}{1}=\dfrac{3}{2};\ \dfrac{\frac{9}{16}}{\frac{3}{8}}=\dfrac{9}{16}\cdot\dfrac{8}{3}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\next\\\\\dfrac{9}{16}\cdot\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{27}{32}\\\\\dfrac{27}{32}\cdot\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{81}{64}

<span>Jamie took 2 hour and 30 minutes to reach the because 5:30-3:00=2hours and 30 minutes.Raul took 1 hour 30 minutes to reach state park because 4:30-3:00=1 hour and 30 minutes.Since they went in opposite directions you can add the time to get 4 hour.It would take 4 hours to go from the beach to state park.There speed was 60 miles per hour since 240/60=4/1 mph.</span>

Approximate each of the following logarithms to four decimal places. Use the LOG key on your calculator rather than logarithm ta
Alika [10]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's change the base to base 10 (log10(x) = log(x)).

logb(a) = log(a)/log(b)

log3(3²) =log(3²)/log3

Knowing that log(aⁿ) = n*log(a)

log(3²)/log3 = 2*log(3)/log(3)

So, we can simply log(3)/log(3) = 1

log3(3²)  = 2
