1.06g + -3 = 0.71
Reorder the terms:
-3 + 1.06g = 0.71
Solving
-3 + 1.06g = 0.71
Solving for variable 'g'.
Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + 1.06g = 0.71 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 1.06g = 0.71 + 3
1.06g = 0.71 + 3
Combine like terms: 0.71 + 3 = 3.71
1.06g = 3.71
Divide each side by '1.06'.
g = 3.5

g = 3.5</span>
Each time they assume the sum is rational; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an irrational number is equal to a rational number). Since the assumption that the sum of a rational and irrational number is rational leads to a contradiction, the sum must be irrational.

Answer:
The first term of the sequence is 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term is 1/5.
The reason is that there is a common ratio between each term. In this case multiplying the previous term in the sequence by 5 would give the next term.
So in this case 1/5 is the first term.
If we multiply 1/5 by 5, it will give the next term which is 1.
1/5*5=1
Thus the first term in the sequence = 1/5....
