Given that aₙ = (-2) (5)ⁿ⁻1 for a geometric sequence, determine the common ratio:

Mathematics
1 answer:
patriot [66]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of the geometric sequence is

a_n=(-2)(5)^{n-1}

In general the nth term of a geometric sequence is

a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}

By comparism;

r=5 is the common ratio of the sequence.

Or

a_1=(-2)(5)^{1-1}=-2

a_2=(-2)(5)^{2-1}=-10

Common ratio is

r=\frac{-10}{-2}=5

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The distance would be 90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first coordinate is along the x and the second coordinate is along the y you would have to add them both together and you would get 90.

If A and B are matrices and AB = I, which of the following represents the value of B?
Ratling [72]
If the product of 2 matrices are I this means that B is inverse matrix of A.
the matrix A has been given 
if we put symbols for the numbers in matrix A as shown below;
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b\\c&d\\\end{array}\right] 

we need to first find the determinant (D)
D = ad - bc
where a = -1 , b = 4, c = -3 and d = 8
substituting these values 
D = -1x8 - (4x-3)
   = -8 +  12 = 4 
to find the inverse we need to exchange a and d and then multiply both b and c by -1
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&-4\\3&-1\\\end{array}\right]
and then have to divide all the terms in matrix by determinant (4)
\left[\begin{array}{ccc} \frac{8}{4} & \frac{-4}{4} \\  \frac{3}{4} & \frac{-1}{4} \\\end{array}\right]
the simplified inverse matrix B is;
\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 2 & -1 \\ \frac{3}{4} & \frac{-1}{4} \\\end{array}\right]
