Write the explicit formula for the sequence below and use it to find the 16th term:
6, -24, 96, -384, . . .

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The sequence is:

[tex]6, -24, 96, -384,...[/tex]

To find:

The explicit formula for the given sequence and then find the 16th term.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]6, -24, 96, -384,...[/tex]

The ratio between two consecutive terms are:

[tex]\dfrac{-24}{6}=-4[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{96}{-24}=-4[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{-384}{96}=-4[/tex]

The given sequence has a common ratio. So, the given sequence is a geometric sequence with first term 6 and common ratio [tex]-4[/tex].

The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:

[tex]a_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Putting [tex]a=6, r=-4[/tex] in the above formula, we get

[tex]a_n=6(-4)^{n-1}[/tex]

We need to find the 16th term. So, put [tex]n=16[/tex] in the above formula.

[tex]a_n=6(-4)^{16-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_n=6(-4)^{15}[/tex]

[tex]a_n=6(-1073741824)[/tex]

[tex]a_n=-6442450944[/tex]

Therefore, the explicit formula for the given sequence is  [tex]a_n=6(-4)^{n-1}[/tex] and 16th term of the given sequence is [tex]-6.442450944[/tex].

Shante is calculating the amount of time it takes a rocket to get to the moon. The moon is around 239,000 miles from Earth. How many hours would it take a rocket that can travel at 200 miles per minute to travel to the moon? Round to the nearest hour.

Answers

Answer:

20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically we know that;

time = distance/ speed

distance = 239,000 miles

Time = 200 miles per minute

time = 239,000/200 = 1195 minutes

Let us convert this to hours by dividing by 60 (since 60 minutes equal an hour

So we have 1195/60 = 19.91

This is approximately 20 hours

A trinket factory can produce 3000 trinkets per day the. warehouse has a capacity of 50000 trinkets .currently there are 8000 trinkets in the warehouse assume that no trinkets are going to be shipped out of the warehouse for a while

Answers

Answer:

14 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are already 8000 trinkets in the warehouse, this means that we need to find the number of days it will take for the factory to create 42,000 trinkets which would cause the warehouse to max out it's capacity.

50,000 - 8000 = 42,000 trinkets

Since the factory can produce 3000 trinkets per day, we simply need to divide 42,000 by 3000 to get the number of days before the warehouse is at max capacity

42,000 / 3000 = 14 days

Therefore, it will take 14 days for the warehouse to be filled

it takes 2 1/2 cups of sugar to make 4 dozen sugar cookies. How much sugar is needed to make 120 sugar cookies

Answers

Answer:

6.25 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a proportion expression:

2.5/48 = x/120

Let x be the amount of sugar needed to make 120 sugar cookies.

Cross multiply:

120*2.5=48x

48x=300

x=6.25

So, you would need 6 1/4 cups or 6.25 cups of sugar to make 120 sugar cookies.

The midpoint of AB‾AB is M(−4,−3)M(−4,−3). If the coordinates of A are (−1,-2)(−1,−2), what are the coordinates of B?

Answers

Answer:

(-7, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint formula is expressed as;

M (X,Y) = {(x1+x2/2), (y1+y2)/2}

Given that M(-4, -3) and (x1, x2) = (-1, -2)

X = x1+x2/2

-4 = -1+x2/2

-8 = -1 + x2

x2 = -8 + 1

x2 = -7

SImilarly;

Y = y1+y2/2

-3 = -2+y2/2

-3*2 = -2+y2

-6 = -2 + y2

y2 = -6 + 2

y2 = -4

Hence the coordinate of B is (-7, -4)

Answers

Answer:

Diameter: 10.8 cm

Circumference (in terms of π): 10.8π cm

Circumference (approximate): 33.91 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given:

The radius (5.4 cm)

1) Determine the diameter

[tex]d=2r[/tex]

Multiply the radius 5.4 cm by 2

5.4 × 2 = 10.8

Therefore, the diameter of the circle is 10.8 cm.

2) Determine the circumference of the circle

[tex]C=\pi d[/tex]

Plug in the diameter 10.8

[tex]C=10.8\pi[/tex]

Therefore, the circumference of the circle in terms of π is 10.8π cm.

3) Determine the approximate circumference of the circle

[tex]C=10.8\pi\\C=10.8(3.14)\\C=33.91[/tex]

Therefore, the approximate circumference of the circle is 33.91 cm.

volume of prism = base area x height

base area = area of a square  = length² = 2² = 4

volume = 4 x 6 = 24

The triangles shown below are similar. Find the length of QS.

Answers

Answer: The value of QS is 8 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculating the side QT.

As per given figure:

ΔPQT ≈ ΔRST

[tex]\frac{PQ}{RS}=\frac{QT}{ST}[/tex]

Given:

PQ = 9 cm

RS = 3 cm

ST = 4 cm

Now putting all the given values in the above expression, we get:

[tex]\frac{PQ}{RS}=\frac{QT}{ST}\\\\\frac{9cm}{3cm}=\frac{QT}{4cm}\\\\QT=12cm[/tex]

Now calculating the value of QS.

QT = QS + ST

12 cm = QS + 4 cm

QS = 12 cm - 4 cm

QS = 8 cm

Thus, the value of QS is 8 cm.
