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)

If a certain brand of icecream is 99% fat free, how many cups would you have to eat to ingest the same amount of fat that would
sdas [7]

Answer:

<em>10,000 cups </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportional quantities are such that their quotients are always the same number. Example: If I need one cup of sugar to prepare 5 candies, I will need 2 cups of sugar to prepare 10 candies. The quotient 5/1 is equal to the quotient 10/2

Let's suppose a cup of regular ice cream would have 100 parts of fat.

The brand of ice cream mentioned in the question is 99% fat-free which means for every cup of their ice cream, we'll only get 1 part of fat. The relation is 100/1.

If we wanted 100 parts of fat out of fat-free ice cream we would need 100*100/1=10,000 cups of it

These numbers won't change if we used another number instead of 100 in the example shown.

Simplify (3x+8)(x+1) using a table, the Distributive Property, and the FOIL
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Foil method:
FOIL stands for
first-multiply the first term in each set of parenthesis
outer-multiply the outer term in each of the perenthesis
inner- multiply the inner term in each of the parenthesis
last- multiply the last term in each of the parenthesis
(3x+8)(x+1)
(3x*x)=3x^2
(3x*1)=3x
8*x=8x
8*1=8
thus we shall have:
3x^2+3x+8x+8
=3x^2+11x+8

Distributive property:

(3x+8)(x+1)
3x(x+1)+8(x+1)
3x^2+3x+8x+8
=3x^2+11x+8

Both methods are efficient, it all depends with the users preference
