Step-by-step explanation:
the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).
I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.
there is no factor r that creates
15×r = 9
and
9×r = 5/27
it would mean that
15 × r² = 5/27
r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81
r = 1/9
but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9
and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27
so, this can't be right.
on the other hand
15 × r = 9
r = 9/15 = 3/5
and then
9 × 3/5 = 27/5
so, either the sequence should have been
15, 5/3, 5/27
or (and I suspect this to be true)
15, 9, 27/5
under that assumption we have
s1 = 15
r = 3/5
sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)
s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =
= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =
= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151
Think if you had 7/12 of a pie witch is 7 tiny piece opposed to 1 huge piece
Write an inequality for the sentence : More than 75 people attended the basketball game .
Answer : X > 75
ANSWER
y varies inversely as x exponent 4.
EXPLANATION
The inverse variation equation is given as:
We can see that there is an inverse relation between the quantity y and x.
If the it were 
, we say y varies inversely as the square of x.
Hence for the given relation,the precise definition is that, y varies inversely as x exponent 4.
BE and CD are parallel, so the triangles ABE and ACD are similar. Then the following relation holds:
AE/AD = AB/AC
10/(10 + 8) = x/(x + 6)
Solve for x :
10 (x + 6) = x (10 + 8)
10x + 60 = 18x
8x = 60
x = 60/8 = 7/5
