Find the 8th term of the geometric sequence 5, -15, 45, ...5,−15,45,...​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 8th term of the geometric sequence 5, -15, 45, ... is:

[tex]a_8=-10935[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

5, -15, 45, ...

The first element of the geometric sequence is

[tex]a_1=5[/tex]

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by  

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

computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

[tex]\frac{-15}{5}=-3,\:\quad \frac{45}{-15}=-3[/tex]

The ratio between all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

[tex]r=-3[/tex]

substituting [tex]a_1=5[/tex], and [tex]r=-3[/tex] in the nth term

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

[tex]a_n=5\left(-3\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

Determining the 8th term:

We have already got the nth term

[tex]a_n=5\left(-3\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

substituting n = 8 to determine the 8th term

[tex]a_n=5\left(-3\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_8=5\left(-3\right)^{8-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_8=5\left(-3^7\right)[/tex]

[tex]a_8=-5\cdot \:3^7[/tex]

[tex]a_8=-5\cdot \:2187[/tex]

[tex]a_8=-10935[/tex]

Therefore, the 8th term of the geometric sequence 5, -15, 45, ... is:

[tex]a_8=-10935[/tex]

Answers

Complete question :

store sells posters each poster cost the same amount door I sell the store reduces the price of each poster by $1.25 Kayla spent $17.17 on four posters at the sale price. What was the price of one poster before the sale

Answer:

5.5425

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Price of posters are the same.

Let price of poster before sale = x

Sale on poster = reduction by $1.25

Price on sale = x - 1.25

Amount spent on 4 posters during sale = $17.17

Hence, cost per poster during sale :

$17.17 / 4

= $4.2925

Therefore, cost per poster before sale, x:

Price on sale = x - 1.25

$4.2925 = x - 1.25

x = $4.2925 + $1.25

x = $5.5425

Translate ƒ(x) = |x| so that it's translated up by 5 units and vertically stretched by a factor of 3. What's the new function g(x)? Question 20 options: A) g(x) = |3x| + 5 B) g(x) = |3x| +–5 C) g(x) = 3|x| +–5 D) g(x) = 3|x| + 5

Answers

Given:

The parent absolute function is

[tex]f(x)=|x|[/tex]

To find:

The new function if the parent function is translated up by 5 units and vertically stretched by a factor of 3.

Solution:

The translation is defined as

[tex]g(x)=kf(x+a)+b[/tex]                .... (1)

Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If 0<k<1, then the graph compressed vertically by factor k and if k>1, then the graph stretch vertically by factor k.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

Parent function is translated up by 5 units. So, b=5

It is vertically stretched by a factor of 3. So, k=3.

There is no horizontal shift. So, a=0.

Now, putting k=3, a=0 and b=5 in (1), we get

[tex]g(x)=3f(x+0)+5[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=3f(x)+5[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=3|x|+5[/tex]       [tex][\because f(x)=|x|][/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is D.

The sale tax on $25,000 car is $1375 what is the sales tax rate

Answers

Answer:

Tax rate is 5.5% because 1,375/25,000 is equal to 0.055 which is 5.5 in percentage form. To prove it you can multiply 25,000 by 0.055 and get 1,375.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales tax rate is 5.5% of cost of car.

What is percentage?

Percentage is defined as a given part or amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator and is represented by the symbol "%".

Given,

Price of the car = $25000

Tax on car = $1375

Sales tax rate = ($1375/$25000)×100

                           = 0.055 × 100

                           = 5.5%

5.5 % of sales tax is applied on the cost of car.
