Use geometric mean to find the 7th term in a geometric sequence if the 6th term is 12 and the 8th term is 27

Mathematics
1 answer:
Darya [45]2 years ago

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>First, use the equation for geometric mean; an=a1r^n-1</em>

*where is an is the number at an n term, r is the ratio and a1 is the first number of the sequence.*

12 = a1 r^5

27 = a1r^7

From the equations above,

a1 = 128/81

r = 3/2

Therefore, the 7th term is:

an = (128/81) (3/2)^6

an = 18

hope this helps :)

3x+y=23, 6x-y=50, what is the value of x and y
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

3x+y=23

6x-y=50

2(3x+y)=2(23)

6x+2y=46

(6x-y)-(6x+2y)=50-46

-3y=4

y=-4÷3

=-4/3

x=[23-(-4/3)]÷3

=24/1/3÷3

=73/3÷3

=73/9

9. GIVEN: y(x + 1) = 51; y = 3 PROVE: x = 16​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

y(x + 1) = 51 ← substitute y = 3 into the equation

3(x + 1) = 51 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x + 1 = 17 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x = 16
