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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
4 0

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)

Novay_Z [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

5.|12 - r| > 15

|12 - r| > 15/5

|12 - r| > 3

12 - r < -3 or 12 - r > 3

-r < -3 - 12 or -r > 3 - 12

-r < -15 or -r > -9

r > 15 or r < 9

Determine whether each pair of lines is perpendicular parallel or neither
vova2212 [387]
Parallel lines mean that the slopes are the same, while perpendicular means that the slopes are negative reciprocals from each other.

With this information,
1. The slopes are the same, so PARALLEL.
2. The slopes are negative reciprocals, so PERPENDICULAR.
3. Same as the second.

The perimeter of the dodecagon is 54 cm. by joining every other vertex of the dodecagon a hexagon is formed. if each side of the
lawyer [7]

Answer:

x = 8.69

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the perimeter of the dodecagon is 54, so each edge will be 54/12

54/12 = 4.5 cm

if we draw the lines to remove 6 vertices and form a hexagon, 6 triangles with 2 sides of 4.5 cm are formed.

we know that the angle of each vertex is 150 ° because it is a dodecagon

if we apply the law of cosines we can take the other side of the triangle, since we only need 2 side and the opposite angle to the side we want to know

a would be our x

b = 4.5

c = 4.5

A = 150°

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc * cos (A)

x^2 = 4.5^2 + 4.5^2 - 2 * 4.5 * 4.5 * cos (150)

x^2 = 20.25 + 20.25 - 40.50 * -0.866

x^2 = 40.50 + 35.07

x = √ 75.57

x = 8.69

Two school buses leave the same school at the same time, but are headed in opposite directions. One bus traveled 45 miles per ho
sveta [45]

Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For if you start at 1 hour you end up with one bus 45 miles away from the school and the other 40 miles. If you then add these then you find out how far apart they are which is 85 at this point and time. If you do another hour the bus going 45 is now 90 miles away from the school. The other one will be 80. After you add these two number to find how far apart they are you end up with 170.
