Find the 8th term of the geometric sequence 3, 9, 27, ...

Mathematics
1 answer:
miv72 [106K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

8th term- 6,561

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the sequence is being multiplied by 3. For example, 3x3=9 and 9x3=27. Now, we need to continue multiplying numbers, so we can list them all here, still starting with 3.

1&2) 3x3=9

3) 9x3=27

4) 27x3=81

5) 81x3=243

6) 243x3=729

7) 729x3=2,187

8) 2,187x3=6,561

The 8th term of the geometric sequence is 6,561.

Hope this helps and have a great day! ^^

Graph XY with endpoints X(5,−2) and Y(3,−3) and its image after a reflection in the x-axis and then a rotation of 270 degrees ab
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

  X''(2, -5), Y''(3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that reflection in the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate. Points that used to be above the axis are now below by the same amount, and vice versa.

Rotation counterclockwise by 270° is the same as clockwise rotation by 90°. That maps the coordinates like this:

  (x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)

The two transformations together give you ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (x, -y) ⇒ (-y, -x) . . . . . . . . equivalent to reflection across y=-x.

Using this mapping, we have ...

  X(5, -2) ⇒ X''(2, -5)

  Y(3, -3) ⇒ Y''(3, -3) . . . . . . on the equivalent line of reflection, so invariant

_____

The attachment shows the original segment in red, the reflected segment in purple, and the rotated segment in blue. The equivalent line of reflection is shown as a dashed green line.

In dire need of help with APR and APY! Please Help!
Sedbober [7]
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--><span>For example, a credit card company might charge 1% interest each month; therefore, the APR would equal 12% (1% x 12 months = 12%). This differs from APY, which takes into account compound interest. The APY for a 1% rate of interest compounded monthly would be 12.68% [(1 + 0.01)^12 – 1= 12.68%] a year. If you only carry a balance on your credit card for one month's period you will be charged the equivalent yearly rate of 12%. However, if you carry that balance for the year, your effective interest rate becomes 12.68% as a result of compounding each month.</span>

Find a polynomial that describes the area of the lawn which kevin has to mow in his front yard 6x+5,4x-9
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Area=24x^2-34x-45

Step-by-step explanation:

Length and width of the yard are (6x+5) and (4x-9).

Area=length\times width\\\\Area=(6x+5)\times (4x-9)\\\\Area=24x^2+20x-54x-45\\\\Area=24x^2-34x-45

Ken has a pole that is 26 inches long. He wishes to cut it into two pieces so that one piece will be 8 inches longer than the ot
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:

let x be the shorter piece

x + (x + 8) = 26                      (longer piece is 8 units longer)

Remove brackets

x + x + 8 = 26                 Combine like terms              

2x + 8 = 26                   Start isolating "x"

2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8           Subtract 8 from both sides

2x = 18

2x/2 = 18/2           Divide both sides by 2

x = 9                    shorter piece

The shorter piece would be 9 inches.

If you needed the longer piece too:

longer piece = x + 8

x + 8

= 9 + 8

= 17

The longer piece would be 17 inches.

Check your answer:

Longer + Shorter = 26           Substitute the lengths

17 + 9 = 26                    Add

26 = 26                same number

LS = RS                left side equals right side

The answer is correct.
