Answer:

an= a1 +(n-1)*4

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 1, a2 =5, a3 = 9, a4= 13,... an= ?

we see that each term is getting bigger so usually that will happen because of addition or multiplication-in our case add 4 to previous term

a1 = 1,

a2 = a1+(2-1) 4 = 1+4 = 5,

a3 = a1 + (3-1)*4 = a1+8 = 1 + 8 = 9,

a4= a1 + (4-1)*4 = a1 + 12 = 1+12= 13,

...

an= a1 +(n-1)*4

What are these fractions in simplest form?

Anton [14]

$\frac{16y^{3}}{20y^{4}} = \frac{4}{5y}$
$\frac{6xy}{16y} = \frac{3x}{8}$
$\frac{abc}{10abc} = \frac{1}{10}$
$\frac{mn^{2}}{pm^{5}n} = \frac{n}{pm^{4}}$
$\frac{12h^{3}k}{16h^{2}k^{2}} = \frac{3h}{4k}$
$\frac{8x}{10y} = \frac{4x}{5y}$
$\frac{24n^{2}}{28n} = \frac{6n}{7}$
$\frac{30hxy}{54kxy} = \frac{5h}{9k}$
$\frac{5jh}{15jh^{3}} = \frac{1}{3h^{2}}$
$\frac{20s^{2}t^{3}}{16st^{5}} = \frac{5s}{4t^{2}}$

12) Find the sum, S7 for the geometric series {1 + 5 + 25 + - + 15625).

zhenek [66]

<u>Understanding:</u>

The sum of a geometric series is, $a+ar+ar^2+ar^3+...$ , with a being the start point and r is the common ratio. We can also use the following formula to make life easier $S_n=a\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}$ , a is your start point, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms, which in our case is S7.
