Answer:
A. A(n) = 150 • (0.74)^n–1 ; 33.29 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric sequence.
a%5B1%5D=1.5m=150cm, r=0.74
The formula is
a%5Bn%5D=a%5B1%5Dr%5E%28n-1%29
Just substitute a1 = 150cm and r = 0.74
a%5Bn%5D=150%280.74%29%5E%28n-1%29
That's the rule.
For the second part, substitute n = 6
cm.

The sum of two numbers
x + y = 21
x = smaller number
y = larger number
Larger Number = y = (2x -6)
Substitute (2x - 6) for y
x + y = 21
x + (2x - 6) = 21
3x - 6 = 21
3x = 21 + 6
3x = 27
3x / 3 = 27 / 3
x = 9
Smaller number = x = 9
Find the larger number by inserting 9 into (2x - 6)
(2x - 6)
(2(9) - 6)
18 - 6
12
So
x = 9
y =12
Check our answer by inserting x = 9 and y = 12 into x + y = 21
x + y =21
9 + 12 = 21
21 = 21
So since we have 21 = 21 we know our answer is correct.
