U can do tallies.. Its like little lines..That add up to 30.
To make the equation easier so that you don't have to use fractions.
Answer:
8th term is 179.15904
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence is geometric with a common ration = 6/5
r = 60/50 = 72/60 = 6/5
Use the formula

In your case a = 50, r = 6/5 and n = 8

Each time they assume the sum<span> is </span>rational<span>; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an </span>irrational number<span> is equal to a </span>rational number<span>). Since the assumption that the </span>sum of a rational<span> and </span>irrational number<span> is </span>rational<span>leads to a contradiction, the </span>sum<span> must be </span>irrational<span>.</span>
