The turtle population will be 486 after 5 years.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
The general form of a geometric progression or geometric sequence is a, ar, ar², ar³ and so on.
where,
- a = first term
- r = common ratio
<u>The formula to find the nth term in GP is :</u>
nth term =
The given sequence 6,18,54.
In this sequence,
- The first term, a = 6
- The common ratio, r = 18/6 = 3
5th term =
⇒
⇒ 681
⇒ 486
Therefore, after 5 years the population will be 486.
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
-4 = 12 - 2x
when plus 12 goes to the left hand side it changes its sign so,
-4 -12 = -2x
- * - is plus so add 4 and 12 but keep the sign - because 12 is the greatest number and its sign is -
-16=-2x
when -2 comes to the left hand side it changes its from multiplication to division.So,
-16/-2=x
8=x
we will get positive 8 because minus and minus also gets cancel.
(6r-1)(-88-3)
Multiply the two brackets together
(6r)(-88)=-528r
(6r)(-3)=18r
(-1)(-88)=88
(-1)(-3)=3
-528r-18r+88+3 ( combine like terms)
Answer: -546r+91
