Answer:

a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.

Answer: -0.82

b) Find the sum to infinity of this sequence.

Answer: 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term in geometric series is given by 4\ th \ term = ar^n-1\\-2.196 = 4r^{4-1} \\-2.196/4 = r^{3} \\r = \sqrt[3]{0.549} \\r = 0.82

where

a is the first term

r is the common ratio and

n is the nth term

_________________________________

given

a = 4

4th term = -2.196

let

common ratio of this sequence. be r

4\ th \ term = ar^n-1\\-2.196 = 4r^{4-1} \\-2.196/4 = r^{3} \\r = \sqrt[3]{-0.549} \\r = -0.82

a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.

answer: -0.82

sum of infinity of geometric sequence is given by = a/(1-r)

thus,

sum to infinity of this sequence = 4/(1-(-0.82) = 4/1.82 = 2.2

Answer:

  • Noah: 3 cups
  • Lin: 4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

When the 12-cup bag of sugar is divided evenly, each baker gets 6 cups.

There is no dot on Noah"s graph for 6 cups of sugar, so you have to extrapolate the given set of dots to see where it might be. You notice that each dot is 1/2 cup of flour more than the one to its left, so you expect that Noah will use 3 cups of flour for 6 cups of sugar.

__

Similarly, the table for Lin does not have an entry for 6 cups of sugar. Again, the next entry can be figured using the relations between previous entries. Here, each row for sugar goes up by 1 1/2 cups, so the next row would be 4 1/2 + 1 1/2 = 6 cups. And the rows for flour go up by 1 cup, so the next row for flour (for 6 cups of sugar) would be 4 cups of flour.

Lin will use 4 cups of flour for 6 cups of sugar.

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The relationship are proportional in both cases, so you can read the value for a smaller amount (2 cups or 3 cups of sugar), then multiply the value by an appropriate multiplier (3 or 2) to get the number of cups of flour for 6 cups of sugar.

Noah: 1 flour for 2 sugar ⇒ 3 flour for 6 sugar

Lin: 2 flour for 3 sugar ⇒ 4 flour for 6 sugar

Which statement is false?
Zarrin [17]
<span>Let's analyze our choices:
1. Media messages may translate differently across different media. Let's see here, if a person is reading a newspaper, would they react differently than if they noticed a tweet by their friend online about presidential campaign ads? Yes, they probably would, so this statement is true.
2. When analyzing media, it is important to ask, "Does it work ". If a person told you that the sky is actually pink but Mary Poppins is actually a real person and just makes you think that the sky looks blue, and that they learned this because the news told them so, would you automatically believe them? Not really. :P Therefore option 2 is out of the way.
3. It is important to understand that media messages do not have a goal. HAH! People and messages always have a goal. I think we may have found our false statement, but just to be sure, let's take a look at our last statement.
4. People will perceive media messages differently. </span>Have you ever watched a debate and thought that one side did a better job than the other, and then your friend starts an argument with you as they think that's total baloney? This statement is true too.

This leaves the only false statement as 3. <span>It is important to understand that media messages do not have a goal.</span>
