Answer:

a_n=112 \cdot  \left(\dfrac14 \right)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between each term in the sequence is not the same, therefore the sequence is a geometric sequence.

Geometric sequence formula:  a_n=a r^{n-1}

where a is the start term and r is the common ratio

Given a_1 = 112 \implies a=112

To calculate r, divide one term by its previous term:

\implies r=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{7}{28}=\dfrac14

Therefore, a_n=112 \cdot  \left(\dfrac14 \right)^{n-1}

It's a geometric sequence

  • r=112/28=1/4

Test with third term to verify

  • 28(1/4)=7

Verified

Now

find formula

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow a_n=ar^{n-1}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow a_n=112(1/4)^{n-1}

2. Two angle measures are in the ratio 5:9. Write
iris [78.8K]

The two angles are x and 9x/5

<h3 /><h3 />

Let the two angles we require be x and y.

<h3 /><h3>Ratio of both angles</h3>

We have that the ratio of both angles are x:y

Since both angles are in the ratio 5:9, we have that,

x:y = 5:9

⇒ x/y = 5/9

<h3 /><h3>Value of the other angle</h3>

So, we Make y subject of the formula

Multiplying both sides by y, we have

y × x/y = 5/9 × y

x = 5y/9

Multiplying both sides by 9, we have

9 × x = 5y/9 × 9

9x = 5y

Dividing both sides by 5, we have

9x/5 = 5y/5

y = 9x/5

So, the two angles are x and 9x/5
