Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term 6 and common ratio 1/3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alja [10]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

6, 2, 2/3, 2/9, 2/27, 2/81

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as;

Tn  = ar^n-1

a is the first term

n is the number of terms

r is the common ratio

Given

a = 6

r = 1/3

when n = 1

T1 = 6(1/3)^1-1

T1 = 6(1/3)^0

T1 = 6

when n = 2

T2= 6(1/3)^2-1

T2= 6(1/3)^1

T2 = 2

when n = 3

T3 = 6(1/3)^3-1

T3= 6(1/3)^2

T3= 6 * 1/9

T3 = 2/3

when n = 4

T4 = 6(1/3)^4-1

T4= 6(1/3)^3

T4= 6 * 1/27

T4 = 2/9

when n = 5

T5 = 6(1/3)^5-1

T5= 6(1/3)^4

T5= 6 * 1/81

T5 = 2/27

when n = 6

T6 = 6(1/3)^6-1

T6= 6(1/3)^5

T6= 6 * 1/243

T6 = 2/81

Hence the first six terms are 6, 2, 2/3, 2/9, 2/27, 2/81

Michelin Tires would like to estimate the average tire life of its Latitude Tour tire in terms of howmany miles it lasts. Assume
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

6 samples

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, = n

Standard deviation, = 6000

Margin of Error = 2000

Confidence interval, α = 95%

Zcritical at 95% = 1.96

n = (Zcritical * σ) / margin of error

n = (1.96 * 6000) /2000

n = 11760 / 2000

n = 5.88

n = 6 samples

Find the inverse of the function.<br> f(x) = -3x + 7
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
F(x) = -3x + 7
y = -3x + 7
x = -3y + 7
-3y + 7 = x
-3y = x - 7
y = -1/3x + 7/3
f^-1(x) = -1/3x + 7/3

What’s the answer to f(a)
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The answer to this is fa

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you as the solver doesn't know what the variables f or a is so you put them together as multiplication until you do understand what f and a are so you can multiply them.

If you were to graph this it would be a horizontal line going infinite in both directions. That means no slope or y axis.

What would the bottles purchased be and what would the bottles recycled be?
N76 [4]

Part A

Your problem statement already shows you the conversion.

Bottles purchased: 5×10¹⁰

Bottles recycled: 8.3×10⁹

Part B

The ratio of bottles purchased to bottles recycled is

... (5×10¹⁰)/(8.3×10⁹) = 0.6×10¹ = 6.0

The number of bottles purchased is 6 times the number of bottles recycle.

The volume of the right triangular prism is 91.8ft. The height of the prism is 10.8ft. What is the area of each base? Show your
kaheart [24]

Answer:

8.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use this right triangular prism volume formula: base area x height = volume

base area = ?

length = 10.8

volume = 91.8

base area x 10.8 = 91.8

Divide both sides by 10.8

base area x 10.8/10.8 = 91.8/10.8

base area = 8.5
