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! ^^

Step-by-step explanation:

1075 students were asked how close they live to the college. The table shows the results below with some values missing. Enter the correct values in the boxes remembering to use the % symbol where necessary.

20 to 25: given 20%

20% of 1,075 = 215

15 to 19: given 12%

12% of 1,075 = 129

10 to 14: given 516 students

(516/1,075)*100 = 48%

5 to 9: given 162 students

(162/1,075)*100 = 15.07%

< 5: given 53 students

(53/1,075)*100 = 4.93%

How many terms are in the arithmetic sequence 1313, 1616, 1919, ……, 7070, 7373?

Nataliya [291]

To find the number of terms in the arithmetic sequence, we need to use the formula
$a_{n}= a_{1}+(n-1)d$
where $a_{n}$ is the nth number, $a_{1}$ is the first number, n is the number of terms and d is the difference of the two consecutive numbers.
7373 = 1313 + (n - 1)(303)
7373 = 1313 + 303n - 303
7373 = 1010 + 303n
7373 - 1010 = 303n
6363 = 303n
6363 ÷ 303 = n
n = 21

Therefore, there are 21 terms in the arithmetic sequence given.
