Determine the 18th term of the sequence 3,9,27,...

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x_{18}=387420489[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the sequence:

3, 9, 27...

First, note that this is a geometric sequence because each subsequent term not increasing linearly.

To find the 18th term, we can write an explicit formula.

The standard explicit formula for a geometric sequence is:

[tex]x_n=a(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

Where a is the initial term, r is the common ratio, and n is the nth term.

From the sequence, we can see that the initial term a is 3. The common ratio is 3 since each subsequent term is 3 times the previous term. So, substitute:

[tex]x_n=3(3)^{n-1}[/tex]

To find the 18th term, substitute 18 for n. So:

[tex]x_{18}=3(3)^{18-1}[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]x_{18}=3(3)^{17}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]x_{18}=3(129140163)[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]x_{18}=387420489[/tex]

And we're done!

7. Identify the explicit formula for the sequence given by the recursive formula

Answers

Answer:  B) f(n) = 30 - 8(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Explicit formula is of the form: [tex]a_n=a_1+d(n-1)[/tex]    where

[tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term d is the difference between consecutive terms

Given: f(1) = 30  --> this represents the first term [tex]a_1[/tex] = 30

          f(n - 1) - 8   --> this means the previous term minus 8 thus d = -8

[tex]a_n[/tex] = 30 + (-8)(n - 1)

    = 30 - 8(n - 1)

Answer:

B. f(n) = 30 – 8(n – 1)

E. The measure of angle BCD is the same as the measure of angle GFE.
True/false

Answers

Answer: True, False, False, True, False

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two quadrilaterals are similar, for question A your answer of True is correct since EF would scale to be twice as long as AB. For the second question the reverse logic applies. For Question C EH is 16 units since 8x2 is 16. For the last question, since BCD does not corresponds to GFE, it is false. Angle BCD has a vertex at point C and GFE has a vertex at point F. Since C does not correspond to F, the angles are not the same.

Determine whether the given segments have the same length. Drag and drop each number
into the correct box to complete the justification of your answer. BC and EF

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of a segment between two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by the formula,

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Coordinates of extreme ends of BC and EF are,

B(1, 4), C(3, -2), E(-3, -2) and F(-1, 1)

Length of BC = [tex]\sqrt{(1-3)^2+(4+2)^2}[/tex]

                      = [tex]\sqrt{4+36}[/tex]

                      = [tex]2\sqrt{10}[/tex] ≈ 6.32 units

Length of EF = [tex]\sqrt{(-3+1)^2+(-2-1)^2}[/tex]

                     = [tex]\sqrt{4+9}[/tex]

                     = [tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex] ≈ 3.61 units

The length of BC is 6.32. The length of EF is 3.61.So, BC and EF don't have the same length.

The quotient of a number and 17 is 118.82.

A. it can be solved with division property of equality.

B. It can be solved with the multiplication property of equality

C. The equation should x/17=118.82

D.x=7

E. X=2020

Answers

Answer:

C. The equation should x/17=118.82

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient

Dividend/Divisor = Quotient

From the question, we are told that:

The quotient of a number and 17 is 118.82

Let us represent the unknown number as x = Dividend

17 = Divisor

Quotient = 118.82

Hence,

x / 17 = 118.82

Cross Multiply

x = 17 × 118.82

x = 2019.94

The correct answer = Option C. The equation should x/17=118.82

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = AC, so mark the two sides with single tick marks.

m∠ACD = 128°, so label the angle 128°.

∠ACB is supplementary to ∠ACD, so:

m∠ACB + m∠ACD = 180°

m∠ACB + 128° = 180°

m∠ACB = 52°

ΔABC is an isosceles triangle, so m∠B = m∠ACB.

m∠B = m∠ACB

m∠B = 52°

Angles of a triangle add up to 180°, so:

m∠A + m∠B + m∠ACB = 180°

m∠A + 52° + 52° = 180°

m∠A = 76°

For an indirect proof, what must first be assumed to prove that LaTeX: \angle X∠ Xis a right angle?

Answers

Answer:

If the lines that forms < X are perpendicular, it can be assumed that it is a right angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

An indirect proof of an angle is an assumption about the value of the angle that can be made by mere inspection and some considerations.

                                     < X = right angle =  [tex]90^{o}[/tex]

A right angle is one that is equal to [tex]90^{o}[/tex]. As an indirect proof, if the lines that forms the angle are perpendicular; then it can be assumed to be a right angle. Because perpendicular lines are at right angle to one another.
