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}

UDD Question 6 10 pts Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth (one decimal place). Just type the number, no unit of measurement.
NISA [10]

Answer:

The answer is;

54.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameter are;

Triangle ΔFGH = Right triangle

The length of segment \overline {FH} = 48

The measure of ∠HFG = 28°

The measurement required = The measure of segment \overline {FG} = x

The measure of ∠FHG = 90° angle opposite hypotenuse side of a right triangle

Therefore, ∠FGH = 180° - ∠HFG - ∠FHG = 180° - 90° - 28° = 62°

∠FGH = 62°

By sine rule, we have;

\overline {FH}/(sin ∠FGH) = \overline {FG}/(sin(∠FHG)

By substituting the known values, we have;

48/(sin 62°) = x/(sin(90°)

sin(90°) = 1, therefore, we have;

x/1 = x = 48/(sin 62°) = 54.4 (by rounding the answer to the nearest tenth)

x = 54.4

What are the blank numbers for 16, 17, 18, and 19
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

16: 0.5, 5, 7.5

17: 62, 434, 682

18: 12.3, 62.5, 10

19: 1, 75, 300

Step-by-step explanation:

16: 9/18=0.5 so halve the numbers

17: 186/3=62 so multiply numbers by 62

18: 24.6/2= 12.3 so multiply by 12.3 and divide for the last one

19: 125/5=25 so for the first one divide by 25 and for the last two times by 25
