with the assumption this is a geometric sequence and thus it as an "r" common ratio, so we know that the 3rd term must be 12 * r and the 4th term must be 12 * r * r, so let's make a quick table

\begin{array}{rll} term&value\\ \cline{1-2} a_2&12\\ a_3&12\cdot r\\\cline{1-2} a_4&(12\cdot r)r\\ &12r^2\\ &\frac{16}{3}\\\cline{1-2} a_5&12r^3\\ a_6&12r^4\\ a_7&12r^5\\ a_8&12r^6\\ a_9&12r^7 \end{array}\qquad \implies \begin{array}{llll} 12r^2=\cfrac{16}{3}\implies r^2=\cfrac{16}{12\cdot 3}\implies r^2=\cfrac{4}{9}\\\\\\ r=\sqrt{\cfrac{4}{9}}\implies r=\cfrac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{9}}\implies r=\cfrac{2}{3} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

a_9=12\left( \cfrac{2}{3} \right)^7\implies a_9=12\cdot \cfrac{128}{2187}\implies a_9=\cfrac{512}{729}

Solve the separable differential equation dtdx=x2+164 and find the particular solution satisfying the initial condition x(0)=9
maria [59]
\dfrac{dt}{dx} = x^2 + \frac{1}{64} \Rightarrow\ dt = \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{64}\right)dx \Rightarrow \\ \\ \displaystyle \int 1 dt = \int \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{64}\right)dx \Rightarrow \\ t = \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x}{64} + C

C = 9 because all the x terms go away.

t = \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \dfrac{x}{64} + 9

Solve for x: two thirds(x − 2) = 4x.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

x =  - 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{3} (x - 2) = 4x

Expand with the distributive rule:

\frac{2}{3} x -  \frac{2}{3}  \times 2 = 4x

\frac{2}{3} x -  \frac{4}{3}  = 4x

Add 4/3 to both sides:

\frac{2}{3} x = 4x +  \frac{4}{3}

Subtract 4x from both sides

- \frac{10}{3} x =  \frac{4}{3}

- 10x = 4

x =  - 0.4
