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

Solve the system of equations.<br> 12x - 5y = –20<br> y=x+4<br> 2 =<br> Y=
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Solution :

{x,y} = {0/14261512,4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable y

[2] y = x + 4

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] 12x - 5•(x +4) = -20

[1] 7x = 0

// Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] 7x = 0

[1] x = 0

// By now we know this much :

x = 0

y = x+4

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = (-0/14261512)+4 = 4
