Answer:

a₆ ≈ 25.284

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is

8 ÷ 6 = \frac{32}{3} ÷ 8 = \frac{4}{3}

This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term

a_{n} = a₁ r^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 6 and r = \frac{4}{3} , then

a₆ = 6 × (\frac{4}{3}) ^{5} = 6 × \frac{1024}{243} = \frac{6(1024)}{243} ≈ 25.284 ( to the nearest thousandth )

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a geometric sequence.

the common ratio or factor is 4/3.

I got this by simply trying to get from the 2nd to the 3rd term.

8×x = 32/3

24x = 32

x = 32/24 = 16/12 = 8/6 = 4/3

s1 = 6

s2 = s1 × 4/3 = 6 × 4/3 = 24/3 = 8

s3 = s2 × 4/3 = s1 × 4/3 × 4/3 = 6 × 16/9 = 2 × 16/3 = 32/3

sn = s1 × (4/3)^(n-1)

s6 = 6 × (4/3)⁵ = 6 × 1024/243 = 2 × 1024/81 = 2048/81 =

= 25.284

slava [35]
In this question, we're assuming Ralph had 0 in his saving funds to start with.

The glasses cost 1200 dollars.

There are 12 months in a year.

Each month, Ralph is given his check two times, that means that Ralph receives his check 2(12), or 24, times per year.

Divide 1200 (the cost of the glasses) by 24 (the amount of times Ralph is given his check)

1200 / 24
Divide both numerator and denominator by 12
100 / 2
Simplify
50

Ralph should have put 50 dollars per pay check to pay for the glasses.

A is your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)
