What Is The Explicit Formula For This Geometric Sequence27,9,3,1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

an=27*(1/3)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:APEX

Answer 2

The correct option is B.

Geometric Progression,

A geometric progression is a sequence in which every next term of the sequence is found out by multiplying the previous term by a fixed ratio.

Any nth term of the sequence is found out the formula,

[tex]a_n = a_1 \times r^{n-1}[/tex],

where,

[tex]a_n[/tex] is the nth term,

[tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term,

r is the fixed common ratio.

Given to us,

Sequence, 27, 9, 3, 1.

the first term, [tex]a_1[/tex]= 27,

As we can see from the series 27, 9, 3, 1. the series is a geometric series,

And can be written as [tex]3^3,\ 3^2,\ 3^1\ ,3^0[/tex].

therefore, will follow the formula of a geometric series.

[tex]a_n = a_1 \times r^{n-1}[/tex],

Ratio

we know the value of r can be found out using the formula,

[tex]r = \dfrac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}}[/tex]

taking n =2,

[tex]r = \dfrac{a_{2}}{a_{2-1}}} = \dfrac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}}= \dfrac{9}{27} = \dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

Substituting

Substituting the values in the formula of geometric progression we get,

[tex]a_n = a_1 \times r^{n-1}\\a_n = 27\times {\dfrac{1}{3}}^{n-1}\\a_n = (27)\times ({\dfrac{1}{3}})^{n-1}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is B.

On which intervals is the function increasing?

Indicate intervals on the x-axis using the Ray tool for intervals that extend to infinity and the Segment tool for bounded intervals.

Graph a ray by selecting the endpoint followed by a point on the ray. Graph a segment by selecting an endpoint followed by the other endpoint.

Answers

Answer:

Refer below

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is said to be increasing if y increases whenever x increases and y decreases whenever x decreases.

A function is decreasing if y increases when x decreases or vice versa.

Hence from the graph we find that when the curve is going up when we move to right the function is increasing otherwise decreasing.

f(x) attains its extreme values at x = -8, -3, 2 and 6

Left of -8 we find f(x) is increasing.

ie.(-infty, -8) increases, (-8,-3)decreases, (-3,2) increases, (2,6) decreases and (6,infty) increases

To consolidate increasing in (-infty, -8)U(-3,2)U(6,infty)

and decreses in (-8,-3)U(2,6)

A car uses 7litres of pétrole to coker 28km . How many litres of pétrole does hé use to coker 64km

Answers

28/7=4km is car journey covered by car in 1l

64/4=16l

Final answer:

The car would use 16 liters of petrol to cover 64 km.

Explanation:

To find out how many liters of petrol the car uses to cover 64 km, we can set up a proportion using the given information. Since the car uses 7 liters of petrol to cover 28 km, we can say that the fuel consumption rate is 7 liters per 28 km. To find out the fuel consumption rate for 64 km, we can set up the proportion:

7 liters / 28 km = x liters / 64 km

Cross-multiplying, we get 28x = 7 * 64.

Dividing both sides by 28, we get x = 7 * 64 / 28 = 16 liters. Therefore, the car would use 16 liters of petrol to cover 64 km.

What is the domain of the function represented by the mapping diagram below?

Answers

Answer:

Option C

{-1,3,5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A mapping is a subset of ordered pair (x,y) where x belongs to first set and y belongs to second set.

Hence a mapping is a subset of cartesian product AXB.

Here A = {-2,1,3,5} and

B = {2,4,6,8}

Ordered pair given by the mapping is

(-2,1) (3,6) and (5,8)

In other words, -2 is mapped on to 1, 3 to 6 and 5 to 8

Domain = set of elements in the I set which are mapped

= {-1,3,5}

1/25(20-t)=4/25t-3/5

Answers

Remark

Multiply both sides of the equation by 25. Then you have an equation that you have already done probably.

Step One

Multiply both sides of the equation by 25

1 * (20 - t) = 4t - (3/5) * 25    Every part of the equation must be multiplied by 25

(20 - t) = 4t - 75/5                 3*25/5 = 75/5

20 - t = 4t - 15                       Add t to both sides

20 - t + t =4t + t  - 15             Combine like terms

20 = 5t - 15                            Add 15 to both sides

20 + 15 = 5t - 15 + 15             Combine like terms  

35 = 5t                                    Divide by 5

35/5 = 5t/5                             Switch sides

If the ratio of silver nail paints to golden paints is 4 to 2 and there are total 60 nail paints, how many of them are golden?

Answers

20,


So, there are 6 total parts,

X = 60/6

Each X = 10

So, 10*2 = 20


20 of them are golden.

To determine the number of golden nail paints, the total nail paints (60) are divided by the sum of the ratio parts (3), resulting in 20 nail paints per part. Multiplying the part for golden paints (1) by 20 gives us 20 golden nail paints.

The ratio of silver nail paints to golden paints is given as 4 to 2, which simplifies to a ratio of 2 to 1. This means that for every 2 silver nail paints, there is 1 golden nail paint. If there are a total of 60 nail paints, we need to determine how many of them are golden. To find out, we divide the total number of nail paints by the sum of the ratio parts (2 + 1 = 3 parts). Hence, each part represents 20 nail paints (60 ÷ 3).

To calculate the number of golden nail paints, we then multiply the number of parts for golden paints (which is 1 part) by the nail paints per part, so we get 20 x 1 = 20 golden nail paints.

All the sides of a square are equal.

Perimeter of a square = 4(measure of 1 side)

Therefore if a square contains 4 sides, and the measure of one side is 2 inches, the perimeter is 8 inches. (2x4)

The definition of directly proportional is when one substance increases at the same rate of another substance. When a number is plugged into our formula, the perimeter increases.

Alright, so first we need to establish two things.

First, the compliment of a set is like the extreme opposite; everything that is not in set B will be in the complement.

Second, we need to find out what B is.

Okay, so B is everything that is greater than 2, that's given. That includes 3, 4, and 5. B = {3, 4, 5}. There are three items in this set.

The numbers that aren't included are 1 and 2. The complement of B, let's call this C I guess, is C = {1, 2}. There are 2 items in this set.

Intellectual property law protects intangible creations with monetary value, fitting best with answer B: Concepts with monetary value. It includes patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secret law, and is essential for creators and inventors to capitalize on their work.

Intellectual property law deals with the protection of intangible creations that have monetary value, such as art, written work, research findings, and ideas.

The correct answer to the question provided is B: Concepts with monetary value.

Intellectual property includes patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secret law which allow inventors and creators to produce, publish, and sell their work and inventions while preventing others from using them without authorization or compensation.

Countries across the globe have distinct laws protecting intellectual property, and organizations like the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) strive to harmonize these laws internationally. Intellectual property is nonexcludable and non rivalrous in nature, often leading to positive externalities and offering private benefits to creators and inventors.

Which exponent makes this statement true? 1/5^9= 5^?

Answers

Answer:

The exponent -9  makes the given statement true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an incomplete mathematical statement and we need to figure out the exponent for 5 on the right hand side to complete the statement.

The given incomplete statement is [tex]\frac{1}{5^{9}}=5^{?}[/tex].

Let us rewrite the left hand side of the expression by moving the exponential term to the numerator using exponent property. As per this property, if we shift an exponential term from denominator to numerator (or vice versa), the sign of exponent changes.

Therefore, we get:

[tex]5^{-9}=5^{?}[/tex]

Now that we have common bases on both the sides, we can equate the exponents. And upon equating the exponents, we can see that the 'question mark' should be replaced by -9 in order for statement to be true.

Therefore, exponent -9 on the right hand side will make the statement true.

A. y = −7x − 56
B. y=1/7x-9
c. y = −7x + 41
D. y=1/7x-8

Answers

The answer is C if you use the point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1)when substituted it will be y - (-8) = -7(x-7) then after distributing the 7 it will be y+8=-7x+49. Finally subtract the 8 and the equation will be y =-7x+41

The slope intercept from of equation is y= -7x + 41.

what is slope?

A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the

change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,

m = Δy/Δx

where, m is the slope

Given:

A line that passes through points (7, −8). and parallel to y = −7x − 8

Now, the slope of given  parallel line is -7 and slope of line which is to parallel also of have the same slope.

So, slope of parallel line = -7

Now, using slope intercept form

y -a = m( x- b)

y - (-8)= (-7)(x-7)

y +8 = -7x + 49

y= -7x + 71

Hence, the slope intercept from of equation is y= -7x + 41
