Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nth term of a geometric sequence is given as:

$t_n = a r^{(n-1)}$ ...(1)

Plugging n = 9, a = 3 and r = 2 in the above equation, we find:

$t_9 = (3) (2)^{9-1}$

$t_9 = (3) (2)^{8}$ ... (2)

Comparing equations (1) & (2), we obtan:

(n - 1) = 8

5(6*3) = 5(18) = 90

(5*6)3 = (30)3 = 90

The answer is the same by the associative law.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Write\:the\:numbers\:one\:under\:the\:other,\:line\:up\:the\:decimal\:points.}$

$\mathrm{Add\:trailing\:zeroes\:so\:the\:numbers\:have\:the\:same\:length.}$

$\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&3&1&6\\ -&1&.&9&4&2\end{matrix}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:each\:column\:of\:digits,\:starting\:from\:the\:right\:and\:working\:left}$

$\mathrm{In\:the\:bolded\:column,\:subtract\:the\:second\:digit\:from\:the\:first}:\quad \:6-2=4\\$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&3&1&\textbf{6}\\ -&1&.&9&4&\textbf{2}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&4&\:\:&\textbf{13}&\:\:&\:\:\\ \:\:&\linethrough{5}&.&\textbf{\linethrough{3}}&1&6\\ -&1&.&\textbf{9}&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&\:\:&4\end{matrix}}$
