6, -12, 24, 8th term of geometric sequence

Mathematics
1 answer:
nordsb [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a₈ = - 768

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ (r)^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 6 and r = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} } = \frac{-12}{6} = - 2 , then

a₈ = 6 × -2)^{7} = - 6 × - 128 = - 768

1 1/8 = g - 4 2/5, what does g equal?
White raven [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It might help to use decimals

1 1/8 = 1.125

4 2/5 = 4.4

Add these together

1.125 + 4.4 = 5.525 That's the correct answer, but likely not in the form you wanted.

1 1/8 = 9/8

4 2/5 = 22/5

9/8 + 22/5

multiply through by the Lowest Common Denominator

9*5/40 + 22*8/40 =

45/40 + 176/40

221/40

5.525

5 21/40

You get the fraction by multiplying 40 * 0.525 which is 21

So you can express 0.525 as 21 / 40

Answer: Choice D) 
The angle between the two vectors is approximately 71.6 degrees

----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------

Work Shown: 

Each time I write the word "dot" I mean "dot product". 

|u| = length of vector u
|u| = sqrt(u dot u)
|u| = sqrt(<8,4> dot <8,4>)
|u| = sqrt(8*8 + 4*4)
|u| = sqrt(64 + 16)
|u| = sqrt(80)
|u| = sqrt(16*5)
|u| = sqrt(16)*sqrt(5)
|u| = 4*sqrt(5)

-----------------------

|v| = length of vector v
|v| = sqrt(v dot v)
|v| = sqrt(<9,-9> dot <9,-9>)
|v| = sqrt(9*9 + (-9)*(-9))
|v| = sqrt(81+81)
|v| = sqrt(2*81)
|v| = sqrt(2)*sqrt(81)
|v| = sqrt(2)*9
|v| = 9*sqrt(2)

-----------------------

u dot v = <8,4> dot <9,-9>
u dot v = 8*9 + 4*(-9)
u dot v = 72-36
u dot v = 36

-----------------------

cos(theta) = (u dot v)/(|u|*|v|)
cos(theta) = (36)/(4*sqrt(5)*9*sqrt(2))
cos(theta) = (36)/(36*sqrt(10))
cos(theta) = 1/(sqrt(10))
cos(theta) = sqrt(10)/10
theta = arccos(sqrt(10)/10)
theta = 71.56505
which rounds to 71.6 when rounding to one decimal place (nearest tenth)

That's why the approximate answer is roughly 71.6 degrees
