Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

To make 16/24 the simplest form you can find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 16 and 24:

16:

1 x 16

2 x <u>8</u>

4 x 4

24:

1 x 24

2 x 12

3 x <u>8</u>

4 x 6

They both have a factor of 8 in common, so 8 is your GCF

Divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor (GCF) to get the most simplified fraction.

16 / 8 = 2

24 / 8 = 3

2/3 is the simplest form of 16/24

The ___________ of a lens or mirror is a rotational symmetry axis of the surfaces.
densk [106]

Answer:

Optical axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Optical axis is the rotational symmetry axis of the surfaces.

A line with a certain degree of rotational symmetry is called as the optical axis in an optical system.

It is the straight line that passes through the geometric center of the lens and joins two curvature centers of its surfaces.

It is also called as the principal axis.

A geometric sequence is defined by the general term tn = 75(5n), where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. What is the recursive formula of the sequ
andreyandreev [35.5K]
The correct answer is C) t₁ = 375, t_n=5t_{n-1}.

From the general form,
t_n=75(5)^n, we must work backward to find t₁.

The general form is derived from the explicit form, which is
t_n=t_1(r)^{n-1}.  We can see that r = 5; 5 has the exponent, so that is what is multiplied by every time. This gives us

t_n=t_1(5)^{n-1}

Using the products of exponents, we can "split up" the exponent:
t_n=t_1(5)^n(5)^{-1}

We know that 5⁻¹ = 1/5, so this gives us
t_n=t_1(\frac{1}{5})(5)^n&#10;\\&#10;\\=\frac{t_1}{5}(5)^n

Comparing this to our general form, we see that
\frac{t_1}{5}=75

Multiplying by 5 on both sides, we get that
t₁ = 75*5 = 375

The recursive formula for a geometric sequence is given by
t_n=t_{n-1}(r), while we must state what t₁ is; this gives us

t_1=375; t_n=t_{n-1}(5)
