Answer:

Common ratio = 2

n = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sum of the nth term of a Geometric Progression is given as:

Sn = a(1-r^n)/(1-r)

Where n = Number of terms

r = Common ratio

The sum of the 1st nth term gp is 127.

Hence:

127 = 1(1-r^n)/(1-r)

The sum of the reciprocal is 127/64

This means the inverse, the formula is given as:

Sn = 1/a(1-r^n)/(1-r)

127/64 = 1(1-1/r^n)/(1-1/r)

= r^(1-n)(1-r^n)/(1-r)

Simplifying we have:

1/64 = r^(1-n)

or,

r^(n-1) = 64

r^(n-1) = 2⁶

Hence:

r = 2

Solving for n

n - 1 = 6

n = 6 + 1

n = 7

Therefore:

Common ratio = 2

n = 7

The graph of a proportional relationship passes through the point (6, 21). What is the equation for the relationship?​
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The equation for the relationship is y = \frac{7}{2}\cdot x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that point (x,y) = (6, 21) is part of a direct relationship. That is:

y \propto x

y = k\cdot x (1)

Where k is the proportionality constant.

If we know that x = 6 and y = 21, then the proportionality constant is:

k = \frac{y}{x}

k = \frac{21}{6}

k = \frac{7}{2}

Lastly, the equation for the relationship is y = \frac{7}{2}\cdot x.
