N+9-9<-6-9
n<-15
n<-15 Is your answer.
The difference in math means the result of subtracting one number from another.
m = Mai’s height
Therefore, the equation is:
Answer:
8 baskets worth 3 points each and 4 baskets worth 2 points each
Step-by-step explanation:
It is 8 baskets worth 3 points each and 4 baskets worth 2 points each because it says Juarez scored twice as many baskets worth 3 points than the baskets worth 2 points. 4 x 2 = 8
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 baskets worth 3 points each and 7 baskets worth 2 points each
: wrong because 7 x 2 = 14.
10 baskets worth 3 points each and 1 basket worth 2 points
: wrong because 1 x 2 = 2.
4 baskets worth 3 points each and 10 baskets worth 2 points each: wrong because 10 x 2 = 40.
Answer: 1,953,125
This is one single value and it is just a bit under 2 million.
Or more accurately, it's a bit over 1.9 million.
===========================================================
Explanation:
- a = 5 = first term
- r = -5 = common ratio
Note that dividing any term by its previous term gets us the common ratio
- r = term2/term1 = -25/5 = -5
- r = term3/term2 = 125/(-5) = -5
The r value must stay the same the entire time, or else the sequence isn't geometric.
The nth term of any geometric sequence is a*(r)^(n-1). With the 'a' and 'r' values we found, we update that to 5(-5)^(n-1)
-----------------
To verify that is the correct nth term expression, plug in various values of n to compare it with the given sequence.
If we tried n = 2 for instance, then we find the 2nd term is
5(-5)^(n-1) = 5(-5)^(2-1) = -25
which matches what your teacher gave you. I'll let you verify the other terms.
-----------------
The last thing we need to do is plug in n = 9 and simplify
5(-5)^(n-1)
5(-5)^(9-1)
5(-5)^8
5(390625)
1,953,125 this is one single value (rather than 3 separate values)
