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]

Suppose you are exchanging currency in the London airport. The currency exchange service there only makes transactions in which one of the two currencies is British pounds, but you want to exchange dollars for Euros. Thus you first need to exchange dollars for British pounds, then exchange British pounds for Euros. At the time you want to make the exchange, the function f for exchanging dollars for British pounds is give by the formula:

f(d)=0.69d−1

and the function gg for exchanging British pounds for Euros is given by the formula

g(p)=1.3p−2

Required:
a. Find a formula for the function that exchanges dollars in return for Euros.
b. How many Euros would you receive for exchanging 450 dollars after going through this two-step exchange process?
c. How many dollars would you need to exchange in order to end up with 60 Euros after this two-step exchange process?


Answers

The two-step exchange process is an illustration of composite functions

The function that converts dollars to Euro is [tex]\mathbf{g(d) = 0.897d - 3.3 }[/tex]You would receive 400.35 Euros, when you exchange 450 dollarsYou would receive 70.6 dollars, when you exchange 60 Euros

Converting from dollars to British pounds, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f(d) = 0.69d - 1}[/tex]

Converting from British pounds to Euro, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{g(p) = 1.3p - 2}[/tex]

(a) Function that converts dollars to Euro

To do this, we simply calculate gf(d)

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{g(f(d)) = 1.3f(d) - 2}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{f(d) = 0.69d - 1}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{g(f(d)) = 1.3 \times (0.69d - 1) - 2}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{g(f(d)) = 0.897d - 1.3 - 2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{g(f(d)) = 0.897d - 3.3 }[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{g(d) = 0.897d - 3.3 }[/tex]

Hence, the function that converts dollars to Euro is [tex]\mathbf{g(d) = 0.897d - 3.3 }[/tex]

(b) Euro equivalent of $450

In (a), we have [tex]\mathbf{g(d) = 0.897d - 3.3 }[/tex]

Substitute 450 for d

[tex]\mathbf{g(450) = 0.897 \times 450 - 3.3 }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{g(450) = 403.65 - 3.3 }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{g(450) = 400.35}[/tex]

Hence, you would receive 400.35 Euros, when you exchange 450 dollars

(c) Dollar equivalent of 60 Euros

In (a), we have [tex]\mathbf{g(d) = 0.897d - 3.3 }[/tex]

Substitute 60 for g(d)

[tex]\mathbf{60 = 0.897d - 3.3 }[/tex]

Add 3.3 to both sides

[tex]\mathbf{0.897d = 63.3 }[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.897

[tex]\mathbf{d = 70.6}[/tex]

Hence, you would receive 70.6 dollars, when you exchange 60 Euros

Raquel creates a different scale drawing of the original triangle ABC with the scale factor 116.
What are the side lengths in Raquel's scale drawing?
-1 in., 2.4 in., and 2.6 in.
-0.5 in., 1.2 in., and 1.3 in.
-8 in., 19.2 in., and 20.8 in.
-128 in., 307.2 in., and 332.8 in.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure this is typed all correctly.

what I understand here :

there is an original triangle ABC in inches.

then, using the scale 1 cm = 4 inches a smaller triangle A'B'C' was created.

the side lengths of A'B'C' are 2cm, 4.8cm, 5.2cm.

due to the scale of 1 cm = 4 inches that means ABC has the side lengths 8 inches, 19.2 inches, 20.8 inches.

and now, another scaled triangle A"B"C" is drawn in inches based on ABC with a scan factor of 1/16 (is that correct ?).

that means that all side lengths are divided by 16 for the resulting triangle.

8 inches /16 = 0.5 inches

19.2 inches / 16 = 1.2 inches

20.8 inches / 16 = 1.3 inches

so, the second answer option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked angles are supplementary, so you have ...

  7x +40 = 180

__

Subtracting 40 gives ...

  7x = 140

  x = 140/7 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

  x = 20

Then the angle measures are ...

  4x +30 = 4·20 +30 = 110°

a family of four goes to a movie theatre and spends $26.50. they buy 2 tickets for adults, and 3 boxes of popcorn at $2.50 per box. what is the cost of one adult ticket

Answers

Answer:

$9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x2.50= 7.50

26.50-7.5 =19

19/2 = 9.5

9.5 for one adult ticket

Hi!

First, let's add (or multiply) the boxes of popcorn.

2.50 + 2.50 + 2.50 (or 2.50 x 3) is 7.50. so the popcorn all together is $7.50.

Next, we subtract the popcorn cost from the cost altogether.

26.50 - 7.50 = $19

Next, we divide the $19 by two.

19 ÷ 2 = 9.50

To make sure this is true, what we do is multiply 2 x 9.50.

2 x 9.50 = 19.

So 9.50 is your answer.

(NOTICE: your problem says a family of 4. you didn't give me the total for the other 2 people who were going to the movie, so this is just my estimate for just those 2 adults. If it's not correct, that is the reason why, otherwise, it is the answer.)

Hope this helps!
