Answer:

8th term = 8748 , Sum of 5 terms = 484

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for nth term in an exponential sequence = a r^ (n-1)

Here : n = 4 , ratio r = 3 ; And nth ie 4th number = 108

So,  a r^ (n-1) = nth item implies that → a 3 ^ (4-1) = 108

a 3^3 = 108 →  27 a = 108 → a = 108 / 27 → a = 4

<u>8th</u><u> term </u>= a r^ (n-1) , at  n = 8.  So, = 4 3^(8-1) = 4 3^7 = 4 x 2187 = 8748

Sum of n terms = a [(r^n) -1 ] / [r - 1] → <u>Sum </u><u>5</u><u> </u>terms = 4 [ (3^5)- 1] / [3 - 1]

= 4 [ (243) - 1] / 2 ] = 2 x 242 = 484

Can you simplify this?
Brilliant_brown [7]

144 - 12g^2.

Because we don't know the value of g, there's nothing else we can do.

Kelsey graphed the equation y = 3x + 1 as shown below.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

D. Kelsey graphed the slope as the y-intercept and the y-intercept as the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to graph was : y= 3x + 1 where the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 1

However, Kelsey graph line passes through points (-3, 0)and (0, 3).From these points the equation of the line is;

m=Δy/Δx  where

m=the slope of the graph

Δy= 3-0 =3

Δx= 0--3 =3

m=3/3 = 1

The equation of the line should be;

m=Δy/Δx

1=y-3/x-0

1x= y-3

3+1x= y

y= 1x + 3 ----------where the slope is 1 and y-intercept is 3

So you can see here that in the original equation,<em> the slope m is 3 and y-intercept is 1 as shown in the first attached graph.</em>

While in the Kelsey's graph, <em>the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 3 as in the second attached graph. </em>

<em>Thus, the correct answer is D : Kelsey graphed </em><u><em>the slope,3</em></u><em> as the </em><em>y-intercept </em><em>and the</em><u><em> y-intercept,1,</em></u><em> as the slope. </em>

Answer choice A is incorrect because Kelsey didnot graph the y-intercept, 1 on the x-axis but graphed point (-3,0) on the x-axis.

Answer choice B is incorrect because on Kelsey's equation the y-intercept is 3 and not -3. i.e. y=1x + 3

Answer choice C is incorrect because Kelsey graphed the slope as up 1 right 1 which is okay per the equation , y=1x+3.However, this incorrect because the correct graph has a slope of 3.
