Explanation:
A sequence is a list of numbers.
A <em>geometric</em> sequence is a list of numbers such that the ratio of each number to the one before it is the same. The common ratio can be any non-zero value.
<u>Examples</u>
- 1, 2, 4, 8, ... common ratio is 2
- 27, 9, 3, 1, ... common ratio is 1/3
- 6, -24, 96, -384, ... common ratio is -4

<u>General Term</u>
Terms of a sequence are numbered starting with 1. We sometimes use the symbol a(n) or an to refer to the n-th term. The general term of a geometric sequence, a(n), can be described by the formula ...
a(n) = a(1)×r^(n-1) . . . . . n-th term of a geometric sequence
where a(1) is the first term, and r is the common ratio. The above example sequences have the formulas ...
- a(n) = 2^(n -1)
- a(n) = 27×(1/3)^(n -1)
- a(n) = 6×(-4)^(n -1)
You can see that these formulas are exponential in nature.

<u>Sum of Terms</u>
Another useful formula for geometric sequences is the formula for the sum of n terms.
S(n) = a(1)×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . sum of n terms of a geometric sequence
When |r| < 1, the sum converges as n approaches infinity. The infinite sum is ...
S = a(1)/(1-r)
Answer:
3118.7ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Circumference= 9,799 ft
We want to find the diameter, but we need to get the radius
C= 2πr
9,799=2*22/7*r
9,799=2*3.142*r
9,799=6.284r
r=9,799/6.284
r= 1559.35
Hence the diameter is =1559.35*2
Diameter=3118.7ft
First you need to know some rules 2 numbers that are the same with coefficients divided : you differentiate those coeff
and multyplied :you sum up them
12x^8/3x^3= 4x^8-3=4x^5
20^2x=20^x*20^x
m^5*m^-7=m^5-7=m^-2
