Given:

The geometric sequence is:

\dfrac{7}{9},\dfrac{-7}{3},7,-21,63,...

To find:

The 9th term of the given geometric sequence.

Solution:

We have,

\dfrac{7}{9},\dfrac{-7}{3},7,-21,63,...

Here, the first term is:

a=\dfrac{7}{9}

The common ratio is:

r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}

r=\dfrac{\dfrac{-7}{3}}{\dfrac{7}{9}}

r=\dfrac{-7}{3}\times \dfrac{9}{7}

r=-3

The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

a_n=ar^{n-1}

Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Substitute a=\dfrac{7}{9},r=-3,n=9 to find the 9th term.

a_9=\dfrac{7}{9}(-3)^{9-1}

a_9=\dfrac{7}{9}(-3)^{8}

a_9=\dfrac{7}{9}(6561)

a_9=5103

Therefore, the 9th term of the given geometric sequence is 5103.

PLEASE HELP!! Which describes the graph of y = (x + 7)^2 - 9?
mezya [45]

Answer:

The answer is D. Vertex at (-7,-9).

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in vertex form, so you take the opposite of x and the constant stays the same. So, the opposite of 7 is -7 and -9 stays the same.

The graphs below have the same shape. What is the equation of the blue graph?
Radda [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) then f(x + a) is a horizontal translation of f(x)

• If a > 0 then a shift to the left of a units

• If a < 0 then a shift to the right of a units

Given f(x) then f(x) + c is a vertical translation of f(x)

• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units

• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units

g(x) is f(x) shifted 3 units right and 1 unit up , then

g(x) = (x - 3)² + 1 → B
