The question as presented is incomplete, here is the complete question with the multiple choice:
The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an − 1 can also be
written as:
1) an = 6 ⋅ 3^n
2) an = 6 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
3) an = 2 ⋅ 3^n
4) an = 2 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
The correct choice is option 3) an = 2⋅3^n.
If we look at the initial sequence an = 3⋅an-1, and
a1 = 3⋅a0 = 6
a0 = 6/3
a0 = 2
We can now look at the sequence.
a0 = 2
a1 = 6
a2 = 18
a3 = 54
etc...
A common factor in each of those numbers is 2, so we can rewrite the sequence by factoring out 2.
a0 = 2⋅1
a1 = 2⋅3
a2 = 2⋅9
a3 = 2⋅27
The numbers being multiplied by 2 are all factors of 3. So we can rewrite the sequence again as:
a0 = 2⋅3^0
a1 = 2⋅3^1
a2 = 2⋅3^2
a3 = 2⋅3^3
This sequence can now be rewritten as an = 2⋅3^n.
The jeep gets 22 miles per gallon...
he has 5 gallons in the tank already....
buys gas at 1.25 per gallon.....spends $ 22...so he buys 22 / 1.25 = 17.6 gallons
so he has a total of (5 + 17.6) = 22.6 gallons....at 22 miles per gallon =
22.6 * 22 = 497.2 miles <==

Answer:
23) option c
JL ≈ 9.3
25) option c
y ≈ 9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>25)</h3>
Given in the question that,
cos(21°) = 9 / y
y = 9/cos(21°)
y = 9.64
y ≈ 9.6(nearest tenth)
<h3>23)</h3>
Given in the question that the hypotenuse of right angle triangle = 12
To find,
height of the right angle triangle
angle k = 39°
so by using trigonometry identity
cos(39) = opp/hypo
cos(39) = JL / KL
JL = cos(39)(12)
JL = 9.32
JL ≈ 9.3
