Find the 8th Term for the Geometric Sequence for which a1 - 3 and r = -2

Mathematics

Answer:

-384

Step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence : every new element is generated by multiplying the previous element always with the same number r.

a(n) = a(n-1) * r

a(n) = a(1) * r^(n-1)

so, a(1) = 3, r = -2

a(8) = ?

a(8) = a(1) * r^7 = 3 * (-2)^7

a negative number to an uneven power is again a negative number.

so, (-2)^7 = -128

3 * -128 = -384 = a(8)

Ethan lives 2 5/12 miles from school. Marquis lives 7/12 mile closer to school than ethan. How far does marquis live from school

goblinko [34]

Answer:

1 5/6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we take the amout ethan lives from school, and turn it into a mixed number

2 5/12 = 29/12

marquis lived 7/12 mile closer

so, we have to subtract that from how far away ethan lives

29/12 - 7/12 = 22/12

22/12 simplified is 1 10/12 or 1 5/6

6) (after 2.3) Consider the infinite system of linear equations in two variables given by ax + by = 0 where (a, b) moves along t

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given infinite system of linear equations is ax + by = 0

when (a,b) moves along unit circle in plane.

a) system having unique system (0, 0)

Since two of equation in thus system will be

$1.x+0.y=0\\x=0$

and

$0.x+1.y=0\\y=0$

It is clear that x = 0, y= 0 is the only solution

b) Linear independent solution in this system gives some set of solutions

$1.x+0.y=0\\\x=0$

and

$0.x+1.y=0\\y=0$

Vector form is

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right] =I$

c) for this equation if add 0x +0y = 0 to system , Nothing will change

Because [0,0] satisfies that equation

d) If one of the equation is ax + by = 0.00001

where 0.00001 is small positive number

so, the system will be inconsistent

Therefore, the system will have no solution.
