Find the sixth term of the sequence 1/2, -3/8, 9/32

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The sixth term is -243/2048 ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the geometric sequence

- There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive numbers

- Ex:

# 5 , 10 , 20 , 40 , 80 , ………………………. (×2)

# 5000 , 1000 , 200 , 40 , …………………………(÷5)

* General term (nth term) of a Geometric sequence:

# U1 = a , U2 = ar , U3 = ar² , U4 = ar³ , U5 = ar^4

# Un = ar^(n-1), where a is the first term , r is the constant ratio

between each two consecutive terms and n is the position of the

number in the sequence

- Ex: U5 = ar^4 , U7 = ar^6 , U10 = ar^9 , U12 = ar^11

- Lets solve the problem

∵ The sequence is 1/2 , -3/8 , 9/32

- Lets find the constant ratio r

∵ The first term is a = 1/2

∵ The second term is U2 = ar

∵ The second term U2 = -3/8

∴ ar = -3/8

∴ 1/2 r = -3/8 ⇒ multiply both sides by 2

∴ r = -3/4

- Lets find the sixth term

∵ a = 1/2 and r = -3/4

∵ n = 6

∴ U6 = ar^5

∴ U6 = 1/2 (-3/4)^5 = 1/2 × -243/1024 = -243/2048

* The sixth term is -243/2048

A student committee is to consist of 2 freshmen, 5 sophomores, 4 juniors, and 3 seniors. If 6 freshmen, 13 sophomores, 8 juniors

mezya [45]

<h3>Answer: 491,891,400</h3>

Delete the commas if necessary.

============================================================

Explanation:

There are 6 freshmen total and we want to pick 2 of them, where order doesn't matter. The reason it doesn't matter is because each seat on the committee is the same. No member outranks any other. If the positions were labeled "president", "vice president", "secretary", etc, then the order would matter.

Plug n = 6 and r = 2 into the nCr combination formula below

$n C r = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\\\\6 C 2 = \frac{6!}{2!*(6-2)!}\\\\6 C 2 = \frac{6!}{2!*4!}\\\\6 C 2 = \frac{6*5*4!}{2!*4!}\\\\ 6 C 2 = \frac{6*5}{2!}\\\\ 6 C 2 = \frac{6*5}{2*1}\\\\ 6 C 2 = \frac{30}{2}\\\\ 6 C 2 = 15\\\\$

This tells us there are 15 ways to pick the 2 freshmen from a pool of 6 total.

Repeat those steps for the other grade levels.

n = 13 sophomores, r = 5 selections leads to nCr = 13C5 = 1287. This is the number of ways to pick the sophomores.

You would follow the same type of steps shown above to get 1287. Let me know if you need to see these steps.

Similarly, 8C4 = 70 is the number of ways to pick the juniors.

Lastly, 14C3 = 364 is the number of ways to pick the seniors.

-----------------------------

To recap, we have...

15 ways to pick the freshmen
1287 ways to pick the sophomores
70 ways to pick the juniors
364 ways to pick the seniors

Multiply out those values to get to the final answer.

15*1287*70*364 = 491,891,400

This massive number is a little under 492 million.
