The first five terms of the geometric sequence is 6, 18, 54, 162 and 486

Geometric progression is given by:

$nth\ term=ar^{n-1}$

where a is the first term, r is the common ratio

Given that first term is 6, and common ratio is 3, Hence a = 6, r = 3

$First\ term=6\\\\Second \ term=6(3)^{2-1}=18\\\\Third \ term=6(3)^{3-1}=54\\\\Fourth \ term=6(3)^{4-1}=162\\\\Fifth \ term=6(3)^{5-1}=486$

The first five terms of the geometric sequence is 6, 18, 54, 162 and 486

Find all the complex roots. Write the answer in exponential form.

dezoksy [38]

We have to calculate the fourth roots of this complex number:

$z=9+9\sqrt[]{3}i$

We start by writing this number in exponential form:

$\begin{gathered} r=\sqrt[]{9^2+(9\sqrt[]{3})^2} \\ r=\sqrt[]{81+81\cdot3} \\ r=\sqrt[]{81+243} \\ r=\sqrt[]{324} \\ r=18 \end{gathered}$ $\theta=\arctan (\frac{9\sqrt[]{3}}{9})=\arctan (\sqrt[]{3})=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Then, the exponential form is:

$z=18e^{\frac{\pi}{3}i}$

The formula for the roots of a complex number can be written (in polar form) as:

$z^{\frac{1}{n}}=r^{\frac{1}{n}}\cdot\lbrack\cos (\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n})\rbrack\text{ for }k=0,1,\ldots,n-1$

Then, for a fourth root, we will have n = 4 and k = 0, 1, 2 and 3.

To simplify the calculations, we start by calculating the fourth root of r:

$r^{\frac{1}{4}}=18^{\frac{1}{4}}=\sqrt[4]{18}$

<em>NOTE: It can not be simplified anymore, so we will leave it like this.</em>

Then, we calculate the arguments of the trigonometric functions:

$\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}+2\pi k}{4}=\frac{\pi}{8}+\frac{\pi}{2}k=\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{k}{2})$

We can now calculate for each value of k:

$\begin{gathered} k=0\colon \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{0}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{0}{2}))) \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{\pi}{8}) \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot e^{i\frac{\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=1\colon \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2}))) \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{5\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{5\pi}{8})) \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{5\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=2\colon \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{2}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{2}{2}))) \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{9\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{9\pi}{8})) \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{9\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=3\colon \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{2}))) \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{13\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{13\pi}{8})) \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{13\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

The four roots in exponential form are

z0 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*π/8)

z1 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*5π/8)

z2 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*9π/8)

z3 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*13π/8)

Pls help me to solve this

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

19-3 will be greater

We are multiplying 1/2 *(19-3) which is multiplying by a number less than 1 it will be less than 1

18-3 = 16

1/2 * (19-3)

Using PEMDAS

We do parentheses first

1/2 ( 16)

Then multiply
