Find an explicit rule for the nth term of a geometric sequence where the second and fifth terms are 36 and 2304, respectively.

Answer:

a_n=9(4^{n-1})

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a <u>Geometric Sequence</u> each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant, called the common ratio (r)

In this problem we have

a_2=36\\ a_5=2,304

Remember that

a_2=a_1(r) -----> 36=a_1(r) -----> equation A

a_5=a_4(r)

a_5=a_3(r^{2})

a_5=a_2(r^{3})

Substitute the values of a_5 and a_2 and solve for r

2,304=36(r^{3})

r^{3}=2,304/36

r^{3}=64

r=4

Find the value of a_1 in equation A

36=a_1(4)

a_1=9

therefore

The explicit rule for the nth term is

a_n=a_1(r^{n-1})

substitute

a_n=9(4^{n-1})

Write an equation with a slope of -1/2 in each form.<br> point-slope form<br> slope-intercept form.
Evgen [1.6K]

For the case of a line through

we have

Using the point

(

we can write the equation of the line in point slope form as:

y

−

7

=

m

(

x

−

)

where the slope

m

=

11

.

That is:

y

−

7

=

11

(

x

−

2

)

To get point intercept form, first expand the right hand side so...

y

−

7

=

11

x

−

(

11

⋅

2

)

=

11

x

−

22

Then add

7

to both sides to get:

y

=

11

x

−

=

11

x

+

(

−

15

)

This is point intercept (

y

=

m

x

+

c

) form with slope

m

=

11

and intercept

c

=

−

15

.

What is the area of rhombus ABCD? Enter your answer in the box. Do not round at any steps.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Area of the rhombus ABCD = 16 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rhombus = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Diagonal 1})(\text{Diagonal 2})

From the graph attached,

Diagonal 1 = Distance between the points A and C

Diagonal 2 = Distance between the points B and D

Length of a segment between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2}+(y_2-y_1)^2 }

Diagonal 1 (AC) = \sqrt{(4-0)^2+(-1+1)^2} = 4 units

Diagonal 2(BD) = \sqrt{(2-2)^2+(3+5)^2} = 8 units

Now area of the rhombus ABCD = \frac{1}{2}(\text{AC})(\text{BD})

                                                       = \frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 8

                                                       = 16 units²

Therefore, area of the given rhombus is 16 units².
