There are 6 terms in the sequence greater than 1.

<h3>What is a geometric series ?</h3>

A geometric series is  sum of infinite numbers which has a common ratio between its successive terms.

The missing common ratio value is -1/2

It is given in the question that

the number of terms in the sequence = 300

Sum = a₁ (1-rⁿ)/(1-r)

nth term is given by

aₙ = a₁r⁽ⁿ⁻ ¹⁾

1337(1/2)^(n - 1) = 1

(1/2)^(n - 1)  = 1/1337

Applying log on both sides

log (1/2)^(n - 1) = log (1/1337)

(n - 1) log(1/2)  = log(1/1337)

n  = log (1/1337)/ log (1/2) + 1 ≈ 11.384

the 11th term  is 1337(-1/2)^(10)  ≈ 1.305

and

And the 12th term is 1337(-1/2)^11  =  -.653

As the even terms are negative , they are less than 1 and , therefore the odd terms from 1 - 11 term will be positive and greater than 1.

Therefore there are 6 terms in the sequence greater than 1.

Answer:

A   rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot it carefully on grid paper. You will see that opposite sides are congruent making it a parallelogram, but adjacent sides are not, so it is not a square or a rhombus. Also each two adjacent sides are perpendicular, so it makes it a rectangle.

WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS.
blagie [28]
SIMILARITIES
 Some similarities are that for linear and non-linear systems of equations, you need the same number of equations as unknowns to solve the system and find the only solution for each variable.
 DIFFERENCES
 Some differences are
 The linear system of equations has degree "1" in each of its variables.
 The non-linear system of equations has degree "n" in each of its variables.
  where n = 1,2,3, ..., i, ..., n.
