Is the sequence geometric if so identify the common ratio 1/3, 2/9, 4/27, 8/81

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It is a geometric sequence and the common scale factor is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same.

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

where aₙ is the nth term, a₁ is the first term, n is the index, and d is the common difference.

In a geometric sequence, each consecutive term was multiplied by some factor over the last.

[tex]a_n=ax^n^-^1[/tex]

where aₙ is the nth term, n is the index, and x is the scale factor.

In the given sequence, there is no common difference so it is not an arithmetic sequence. There is, however, a common scale factor applied to each consecutive term. Each term is multiplied by [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] over the last.

The formula for this sequence would be:

[tex]a_n=a\frac{2}{3} ^{n-1}[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

r = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sequence is geometric then there will be a common ratio r between consecutive terms , that is

r = a₂ ÷ a₁ = a₃ ÷ a₂ = a₄ ÷ a₃

Then

a₂ ÷ a₁ = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] × 3 = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

a₃ ÷ a₂ = [tex]\frac{4}{27}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{27}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

a₄ ÷ a₃ = [tex]\frac{8}{81}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{4}{27}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{81}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{27}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Then sequence is geometric with common ratio r = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

QUESTION 9 of 10: You enter a bid. Your cost on the product you make is $112 per unit. If you bid at $138 per unit, what percent is the price
you bid over your cost? (Round to the nearest percent)
a) 19%
b) 23%
C) 81%
Submit

Answers

From the information given, the percentage increase in the price bid over the cost will be 23%.

Cost on the product = $112.

Amount bid = $138

Therefore, the Percentage increase will be:

= (138 - 112) / 112 × 100

= 26/112 × 100

= 23%

Therefore, from the calculation above, it can be seen that the percentage increase in the price bid over the cost will be 23%.

Noah receives a $5 discount each month on his cell phone bill because he signed up for
auto-pay from his bank account. Over the last 8 months, Noah has paid a total of
$280 for his cell phone bill. What would Noah be charged for his cell phone bill each
month if he stopped using auto-pay?
$34
$30
$35
$40

Answers

Answer:

Noah would pay $40 each month

The discount Noah received decreased the amount he pays by $5 every month.

Total discount in 8 months = 8 x $5 = $40

If Noah stopped using autopay, he would have to pay the full amount

Without the discount, the total amount Noah would pay in 8 months = amount paid without discount + total discount amount

$280 + $40 = $320

Amount Noah would pay per month = Total amount he pays in 8 months without discount / 8

$320 / 8 = $40

Find the constant of proportionality and write an equation for the following proportional relationship.



You drove 330 miles in 6 hours.



Use d to represent the distance you drove and t to represent the time

Answers

Answer:

NoShutterStock gives the correct value:  55 miles/hr (mph)

I'll only add that distance, d, is the product of time, t, and speed, s.

 (Distance, d) = (Time, t x) (Speed, s)

   d = ts

   330 miles = (6 hours)*(s)

s = 330 miles/6 hours, or 55 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality and the equation for the proportional relationship are 55 miles per hour and y = 55x respectively.

What is proportionality?

Two quantities are said to be in direct proportion (or directly proportional), if one is a constant multiple of the other, i.e. y is said to be directly proportional to x if y = kx where k is a constant.

Given that, find the constant of proportionality and write an equation for the following proportional relationship.

"You drove 330 miles in 6 hours."

Here, the constant of proportionality =

330/6 = 55 miles per hour

The equation for the proportional relationship =

y = 55x

Where, y is total distance and x is hour of travelling.

Hence, the constant of proportionality and the equation for the proportional relationship are 55 miles per hour and y = 55x respectively.

the sum of two rational numbers is 17/18 If one of the numbers is 5/24 find the other number

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 17/18

x = 5/24

5/24 + y = 17/18

to bring both fractions to the same denominator (I see it is 72, but let's do it formally correct for you to learn), we look for the LCM, the lowest common multiple of both.

for this we split both numbers into their prime factors and then build the the combination of the longest chains per prime factor :

24 = 2×2×2×3

18 = 2×3×3

the LCM (and the new denominator) is then

2×2×2×3×3 = 8×9 = 72

so,

15/72 + y = 68/72

y = 53/72

53 is a prime number, so the fraction cannot be further refined.

X: 3: 9/2 =15/4: 9/2 :Yask for the answer of x and y

Answers

Answer:

"X: 3: 9/2 =15/4: 9/2 :Yask" is difficult for me to understand.

The best I can find is x = 11 1/4 or 11.25

I'll assume:

X: 3: 9/2 means X/3/(9/2) and that is equal to 15/4/(9/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

X/3/(9/2) = 15/4/(9/2)

X/3/(9/2) = 15/4/(9/2)   [Multiply both sides by (1/(9/2)

X/3 = 15/4

4x = 45

x = 11 1/4 or 11.25

Answer:

slope: cost per miley-intercept: fixed base cost

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0. The problem statement tells you that x is the number of miles driven, and y is the rental cost.

When the number of miles driven is zero, the rental cost is ...

  y = 2.25×0 +70

  y = 70

The cost of renting the truck is $70 when it isn't driven anywhere. The y-intercept ($70) is the basic, fixed cost of truck rental.

__

If x=1 (1 mile driven), then 2.25 is added to the cost of the truck rental. The slope (2.25) is the cost per mile driven. (That mileage cost is added to the basic rental cost.)

Using the area model divide, true or false, 79/7 is equal to 11 R 1.

Answers

Area models are used to evaluate products and divisions

[tex]\mathbf{79 \div 7 = 11\ R\ 1}[/tex] is false

The division equation is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{79 \div 7 = 11\ R\ 1}[/tex]

Express 79 as 77 + 2

[tex]\mathbf{(77 + 2) \div 7 = 11\ R\ 1}[/tex]

Split the expression on the left-hand side

[tex]\mathbf{77 \div 7+ 2 \div 7 = 11\ R\ 1}[/tex]

Divide 77 by 7

[tex]\mathbf{11+ 2 \div 7 = 11\ R\ 1}[/tex]

2 divided by 7 is 0 with a remainder of 2

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{11\ R 2 = 11\ R\ 1}[/tex]

The equations above are not equal.

This is represented as:

[tex]\mathbf{11\ R 2 \ne 11\ R\ 1}[/tex]

  21. m = 0; f(x) = 9

  24. m = -3/2; f(x) = -3/2x +18 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the function is given by the slope formula ...

   m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

The y-intercept (b) can be found from the table when it includes a point (x, y) = (0, b). If the table doesn't have the y-intercept, it can be found from ...

  b = y -mx

When m and b are known, the slope-intercept equation is ...

  f(x) = mx +b

__

19.

  m = (11 -14)/(-2 -(-3)) = -3/1 = -3

The slope is -3. The function is f(x) = -3x +5.

__

21.

  m = (9 -9)/(2 -3) = 0/-1 = 0

The slope is 0. The function is f(x) = 9.

__

24.

  m = (14 -17)/(3 -1) = -3/2

  b = 17 -(-3/2)(1) = 18 1/2

The slope is -3/2. The function is f(x) = -3/2x + 18 1/2.
