27, 9, 3, 1, 1/3,1/9....What is the value of the 10th term in the sequence?

Answers

Answer 1
[tex]27,9,3,1,\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

1. Identify if the sequence has a common difference or a common ratio.

Common difference: subtract each term from the next term:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 9-27=-18 \\ 3-9=-6 \\ 1-3=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

There is not a common difference.

Common ratio: Divide each term into the previous term:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{27}=\frac{1}{3} \\ \\ \frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3} \\ \\ \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{3} \\ \\ \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{1}=\frac{1}{3} \\ \\ \frac{\frac{1}{9}}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The common ratio is 1/3; it is a geometric sequence.

2. Use the next fromula to write the formula to find the nth term in the sequence:

[tex]\begin{gathered} a_n=a_1*r^{n-1} \\ \\ r:common\text{ }ratio \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]a_n=27*(\frac{1}{3})^{n-1}[/tex]

Evaluare the formula above for n=10 to find the 10th term:

[tex]\begin{gathered} a_{10}=27*(\frac{1}{3})^{10-1} \\ \\ a_{10}=27*(\frac{1}{3})^9 \\ \\ a_{10}=27*\frac{1}{3^9} \\ \\ a_{10}=27*\frac{1}{19683} \\ \\ a_{10}=\frac{27}{19683} \\ \\ a_{10}=\frac{1}{729} \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, the 10th term is 1/729

List the sale price of the item. Round to two decimal places when necessary. Original price: $25; Markdown: 12%.

Answers

Answer

Sale Price = $22

Explanation

Mark down percentage is given as

[tex]\text{Markdown percentage = }\frac{(Original\text{ Price) - (Sale Price)}}{(Original\text{ }Price)}\times100[/tex]

For this question,

Markdown percentage = 12%

Original Price = $25

Sale Price = ?

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Markdown percentage = }\frac{(Original\text{ Price) - (Sale Price)}}{(Original\text{ }Price)}\times100 \\ 12=\frac{25-(\text{Sale Price)}}{25}\times100 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 100} \\ 0.12=\frac{25-(\text{Sale Price)}}{25} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ 25-(\text{Sale Price) = (0.12 }\times25) \end{gathered}[/tex]

25 - (Sale Price) = 3

Sale Price = 25 - 3

Sale Price = $22

Which best describes what happens when the number of trials increases significantly

Answers

Solution:

Given:

[tex]\begin{gathered} Head,H=4 \\ Total=12 \\ P(H)=\frac{4}{12} \\ P(H)=\frac{1}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

From the probability, it can be deduced that as the number of trials increases, the observed frequency will get closer to the expected frequency.

Therefore, if the number of trials increases significantly, then the observed frequency of landing heads up gets closer to the expected frequency based on the probability of the coin landing heads up.

Answer:

The domain would be all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is what x can or can't be. In the function that is in the image, the function is y=a constant. So, no matter what x is, y will always be the constant. So, x can be all real numbers.

8. Bobbie is self-employed and made a profit of $22, 150 last year. She mustpay $2572 in income tax. She also must pay social security tax of 13.3% ofher profit. What is Bobbie's total tax liability? Round to the nearestdollar,a $5912b. $4998c. $5518

Answers

income tax = $2572

social security tax = 13.3% of the profit

= 13.3% of $22,150

= 13.3/100 * 22,150 = $2,945.95

So, the total tax =

2572 + 2,945.95 = $5,517.95

Rounding to the nearest dollar

the total tax = $5,518

The answer is option C. $5,518

Parallelogram and its Properties:

                      Parallelogram is a special kind of quadrilateral, in which opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other.

Properties:

                     1. Opposite sides are parallel to each other.

                     2. Length of opposite sides are equal.

                     3.Diagonally opposite angles are equal.

                     4. Diagonals bisects each other.

                     5. Sum of any two adjacent angle is 180°

From figure,

                     ABCD is a parallelogram

                      m∠A = 2x + 50

                      m∠ C = 3x + 40

In a parallelogram ABCD we know opposite angles are equal to each other,

                          m∠A = m∠C

                   2x + 50 = 3x + 40

                    3x - 2x = 50 - 40

                       x = 10

Hence,

               m∠A  = 2x + 50

                              put the value of x we get,

               m∠A  = 2 * 10 + 50

                          = 20 + 50

                         = 70°

Answers

The U.S national debt on 2015 was 1.815 * 10^13

The U.S national debt on 2005 was 4.974 * 10^12

So, the amount of increase =

1.815 * 10^13 - 4.974 * 10^12 =

18.15 * 10^12 - 4.974 * 10^12 =

(18.15 - 4.974) * 10^12 = 13.176 * 10^12

= 1.3176 * 10 * 10^12 = 1.3176 * 10^13

Hi tutor,What is the connection between the slope of a tangent of a function at a given point, and it’s derivative evaluated at that point? If possible, can you please use a diagram and derivation steps to help explain?

Answers

Given:

Derivative and sope of tangent

Required:

We want to define relation

Explanation:

The derivative of a function gives us the slope of the line tangent to the function at any point on the graph. This can be used to find the equation of that tangent line for example

and the slope of that tangent is the derivative of function at point P

Now to find equation of a tangent line

1) Find the first derivative of f(x).

2) Plug x value of the indicated point into f '(x) to find the slope at x.

3) Plug x value into f(x) to find the y coordinate of the tangent point.

4) Combine the slope from step 2 and point from step 3 using the point-slope formula to find the equation for the tangent line.

in 2 years steve wants to buy a bicycle that 800.00. if he opens a savings account that earns 3 % interest compounded monthly how much will he have to despoit as principal to have enough money in 2 years to buy the bike

Answers

Answer

393.55

Explanation

The amount that results after an amount P is invested at compound interest at rate r% and time period t is given as

A = P (1 + r)ᵗ

For this question,

A = 800

r = 3% = 0.03

t = 2 (12) = 24 (Since the interest is compounded monthly, over 2 years)

P = ?

800 = P (1 + 0.03)²⁴

800 = P (1.03)²⁴

800 = P (2.0328)

2.0328P = 800

Divide both sides by 2.0328

(2.0328P/2.0328) = (800/2.0328)

P = 393.55

Luke opened a savings account 3 years ago. the account earns 6%interest compounded quarterly if the current balance is 300.00 how much did he deposit initially

Answer

This is similar to the first one too.

A = P (1 + r)ᵗ

For this question,

A = 300

r = 6% = 0.06

t = 3 (4) = 12 (Since the interest is compounded quarterly, over 3 years; there are 4 quarters per year)

300 = P (1 + 0.06)¹²

300 = P (1.06)¹²

300 = P (2.0122)

2.0122P = 300

Divide both sides by 2.0122

(2.0122P/2.0122) = (300/2.0122)

P = 149.09

The value of bat is 7, but there is some mistake, it must be 6 and the letter C.

The sixth equation is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{bat}+\text{cat}\cdot pumpkin\text{ = 27} \\ 6+3\cdot\text{pumpkin}=27 \\ 3\cdot\text{ pumpkin = 27-6=21} \\ \text{pumpkin =}\frac{21}{3}=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The value of spyder is 24 and the letter is B.

The last equation is:
