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

I think we're not supposed to do more than 3 problems in one answer; certainly not five pages. Does the 1/3 mean there are 10 more to come?

I'll do the first page.

Math PT Question 19 Which of the following is the correct equation for the trend line in the scatter plot ?
ki77a [65]

Using the points where the blue line crosses the X and Y axis:

(0,5) ans (-1, 0)

The slope is the change in Y over the change in X:

0-5 / -1 - 0 = -5/-1 = 5

Slope = 5

Y intercept = y1 = 5

Equation = y = 5x+5
