Answer:

a_n=100 \left(\dfrac15\right)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of geometric sequence:  a_n=ar^{n-1}

Given:

  • a₁ = 100
  • a₂ = 20
  • a₃ = 4

\implies a_1=a=100

\implies a_2=100 \cdot r=20

\implies a_3=100 \cdot r^2=4

Common ratio:

r=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{4}{20}=\dfrac15

Therefore:

a_n=100 \left(\dfrac15\right)^{n-1}

Write a real-word problem that involves classifying a quadrilateral. Then solve the problem.
natima [27]
Hello there!

Let me try :)

You decided to tell someone to make a book for you. You need to tell him what shape you would like the book to have. But since you want it to be quadrilateral, you need to go there and make sure that the person is doing it correctly. So that they don't give you the book with a shape of a triangle, then you would have problem to add it on your shelf because it wouldn't look interesting.

Note: A quadrilateral is defined as a polygon (a closed shape) with 4 sides, so any shape/object with four sides can be considered a quadrilateral.


I hope this helps!

Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 4^−x and y = 2^x + 3 intersect are the solutio
lawyer [7]
The point where 2 lines intersect contain (x,y) coordinates that are equal for both equations.
By setting the 2 equations equal to each other, it is same as equating the 2 y-values, which we know they are equal at point of intersection.
