Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence is
64, 16, 4, 1



It is a geometric series because it has a common ratio
.
First term is 64.
The explicit formula of a geometric series is

where, a is first term and r is common ratio.
Substitute a=64 and r=1/4 in the above function.

Therefore, the required explicit formula is
.
Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^3 (x^2 - 4) = 0
Split into two equations:
x^3 = 0 or x^2 - 4 = 0
Take cube roots of both sides:
x = 0 or x^2 - 4 = 0
Add 4 to both sides:
x = 0 or x^2 = 4
Take the square root of both sides:
Answer: x = 0 or x = 2 or x = -2
Between two rational numbers there are an infinite number of irrational numbers.
Example:
Answer:
n/3 - 18
Step-by-step explanation:
"quotient of a number and 3" is n/3, and so
"18 less than the quotient of a number and 3" as an expression is:
n/3 - 18
