Step-by-step explanation:

the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).

I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.

there is no factor r that creates

15×r = 9

and

9×r = 5/27

it would mean that

15 × r² = 5/27

r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81

r = 1/9

but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9

and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27

so, this can't be right.

on the other hand

15 × r = 9

r = 9/15 = 3/5

and then

9 × 3/5 = 27/5

so, either the sequence should have been

15, 5/3, 5/27

or (and I suspect this to be true)

15, 9, 27/5

under that assumption we have

s1 = 15

r = 3/5

sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)

s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =

= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =

= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept for 8x+4y=16
Valentin [98]

Answer:

y-intercept = 4

x-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

you can divide the equation through by 4 and change into the y=mx+c form to find c, the y intercept so the y-intercept = 4.

for the x intercept make the y=0 (because the coordinate point where the line crosses the x axis must have y=0) and then you get 8x=16 so x=2

Please i need help i’ll give u a brainliest please
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

V=314.15

Step-by-step explanation:

V=1/3pi*r^2*h

V=1/3*pi*5^2*12

V=1/3pi*25*12

V=1/3pi*300

V=300/3pi

V=100pi

V=314.15

There are six balls in the bag. Two are basketballs, three are playground balls, and one is a soccer ball. What is the probabili
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}=0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are six balls in bag

             Basketballs=2

             Playground balls =3

             Soccer ball =1

To Find : the probability that if you pick one of the balls without looking, it will be a soccer ball

Solution :

Total no. of balls = 6

No. of soccer balls = 1

Probability = favorable outcomes / total outcomes

Since total outcomes = total no. of balls =6

And favorable outcome = no. of soccer balls = 1

Thus , Probability of getting soccer ball = \frac{1}{6}

Hence the probability that if you pick one of the balls without looking, it will be a soccer ball:

\frac{1}{6}=0.16
