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]

The first truck carries 35 tons less rice than the second truck. The number of paddy in the first truck is 2/3 of the amount in the second truck. How many tons of paddy does each cart hold?

Answers

Answer:

First truck = x

Second truck = y

x + 35 = y

x = 2/3y

So

2/3y +35=y

1/3y = 35

y = 35*3

y = 105

And ,

x = 2/3y = 70

The first truck carry 70 tons while the second carry 105 tons

Let the amount the first truck can carry be x

Let the amount the second can carry be y

If the first truck carries 35 tons less rice than the second truck, then;

x = y - 35

If the number of paddy in the first truck is 2/3 of the amount in the second truck

x = 2/3 y

Equate both to have:

2/3 y = y - 35

2/3y - y = -35

-y/3 = -35

y = 105

Since x = 2/3 y

x = 2/3 * 105

x = 70

Hence the first truck carry 70 tons while the second carry 105 tons

Multiplication:-

a. 7/3 × 2/9 = 7x2/3x9 = 14/27.

b. 3/7 × 5/11 = 3×5/7×11 = 15/77.

c. 15/8 × 6/25 = 3×3/4×5 = 9/20.

d. 21/20 × 15/14 = 3×3/4×2 = 9/8.

Division:

a. 3/4 ÷ 5/7 = 3/4 x 7/5 = 21/12 = (3 x 7) / (3 x 4) = 7/4

b. 9/5 ÷ 6/11 = 9/5 x 11/6 = 99/30 = (3 x 33) / (3 x 10) = 33/10

c. 15/8 ÷ 6 = 15/8 x 1/6 = 15/48 = (3 x 15) / (3 x 16) = 15/16

d. 8/7 ÷ 12 = 8/7 x 1/12 = 8/84 = (4 x 2) / (4 x 21) = 2/21.

Culcul constant des fractions:

a. 3/7 + 15/7 x 3/2

= 3/7 + 45/14

= (3 x 2) / (7 x 2) + 45/14

= 6/14 + 45/14

= 51/14

b. 9/5 x (1/4 - 5/12)

= 9/5 x [(1 x 3) / (4 x 3) - 5/12]

= 9/5 x (3/12 - 5/12)

= 9/5 - 2/12

= (9 x 12) / (5 x 12) - (2 x 5) / (12 x 5)

= 108/60 - 10/60

= 98/60

= (2x 49) / (2 x 30)

= 49/30.

c. (3/8 + 7/5) ÷ (9/4 - 5/3)

= [(3 x 5) / (8 x 5) + (7 x 8) / (5 x 8)] ÷ [(9 x 3) / (4 x 3) - (5 x 4) / (3 x 4)]

= (15/40 + 56/40) ÷ (24/12 - 20/12)

Hey there!

1. The angle measure 60 is linear to angle 6, this would make them supplementary.

Angle 6: 180 - 60 = 120

Angle 6 is vertical to angle 2, this makes them congruent. If angle 6 equals 120 measure 2 also equals 120.

2. Measure 6 is vertical from measure 2. We established in the last problem measure 2 equals 120.

If angle 2 equals 120 measure 6 also equals 120.

3. The 2 equations are alternate exterior angles.

Answers

lol no

just give up in life

The function is used to model real life situation

The value of a is -2000 150 computers must be produced to maximize the profit of $5,000,000 A range of 140 to 160 computers would give the company at least $4,800,000  

 

(a) The value of a

The function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = a(x - 100)(x - 200) }[/tex]

The profit on 120 computers is 3200000.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{3200000 = a(120 - 100)(120 - 200) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{3200000 = -1600a}[/tex]

Divide both side by -1600

[tex]\mathbf{a = -2000}[/tex]

Hence, the value of (a) is -2000

(b) The maximum profit

The function becomes

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x - 100)(x - 200)}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x\² - 200x - 100x + 20000)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x\² - 300x + 20000)}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000}[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]\mathbf{y' = -4000x + 600000}[/tex]

Set to 0

[tex]\mathbf{-4000x + 600000 = 0}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{4000x = 600000}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4000

[tex]\mathbf{x = 150}[/tex]

Substitute 150 for x in [tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x - 100)(x - 200)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(150 - 100)(150 - 200)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 5000000}[/tex]

150 computers must be produced to maximize the profit of $5,000,000  

c) Range when the target is at least $4,800,000

This means that:

[tex]\mathbf{y \ge 4800000}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000 \ge 4800000}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000 - 4800000 \ge 0}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 44800000 \ge 0}[/tex]

Divide through by -2000

[tex]\mathbf{x\² - 300x +22400 \le 0}[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]\mathbf{(x - 140)(x - 160) \le 0}[/tex]

Express as inequality

[tex]\mathbf{140 \le x \le 160}[/tex]

A range of 140 to 160 computers would give the company at least $4,800,000
