Find the ninth term of the geometric sequence a4= -135,r=-3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The nth term of the geometric sequence is is 32805

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by

[tex]$ a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n - 1} $[/tex]

Where [tex]a_1\\[/tex] is the first term and [tex]r[/tex] is the common ratio

We are given the fourth term of this sequence

[tex]a_4 = -135[/tex]

The common ratio is

[tex]r = -3[/tex]

Once we find the 1st term then we can find any other term.

[tex]a_4 = a_1 \cdot r^{4 - 1} \\\\a_4 = a_1 \cdot r^{3} \\\\-135 = a_1 \cdot (-3)^{3} \\\\-135 = a_1 \cdot (-27) \\\\a_1 = \frac{-135}{-27} \\\\a_1 = 5[/tex]

So the ninth term of this geometric sequence is

[tex]a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n - 1} \\\\a_9 = a_1 \cdot r^{9 - 1} \\\\a_9 = a_1 \cdot r^{8} \\\\a_9 = 5 \cdot (-3)^{8} \\\\a_9 = 5 \cdot (6561) \\\\a_9 = 32805[/tex]

Therefore, the nth term of the geometric sequence is is 32805

PLZZ HELPP Why is it important to simplify rational expressions before multiplying or dividing? How do you determine that a rational expression is in simplest form? Compare the process to addition and subtraction.

Answers

Answer:

"Simplifying rational expressions will make the further calculations easier since the variables to work with will usually be smaller.

To determine that a rational expression is in simplest form we need to make sure that the numerator and the denominator have no common variables."

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the angle with measure 82 and angle 1 are corresponding angles, their angles measure must be equal, and therefore angle 1 has measure of 82 as well. Since angles 1 and 2 are a linear pair, they must be supplementary, and angle 2 is therefore 180-82=98 degrees. Hope this helps!

Answers

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

75 - 80 = -5

Absolute value of -5 is positive so -5 = 5

5 ÷ 80 = 0.0625 (1/16)

0.0625 × 100 = 6.25%

A sector of a circle whose radius is 4 centimeters, has a central angle of 30 Which of the following. which of following represents the area of this sector in square centimeters?
(1). 12π/5
(2). 8π/15
(3). 4π/3
(4). 6π/5



Answers

Answer:

area of the sector  =4π/3  cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the sector, we will follow the steps below;

first write the formula for finding area of a sector

area of a sector = Ф/360  ×  πr²

where r is the radius

from the question given

Ф= 30       and radius = 4 centimeters

we can proceed to insert the values into he formula above

area of a sector = Ф/360  ×  πr²

                             =30/360  ×π×4²

                             =1/12 ×π×16

                             =16π /12

                              =8π/6

                             =4π/3

area of the sector  =4π/3  cm²

Za and Zb are complementary angles. Za measures 22º.
What is the measure of Zb?

Answers

Answer:

b = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

a+b = 90

22+b = 90

Subtract 22 from each side

b = 90-22

b = 68

Answer:

68 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary Angles: The sum of the angles is 90 degrees.

If angle a is 22 degrees, then...

a + b = 90

22 + b = 90

22 - 22 + b = 90 - 22

b = 68

That means that the measure of angle b is 68 degrees.

Point M divides AB such that AM:MB = 1:4. If A has coordinates (-4, 3) and B has coordinates (6, 8). What are the coordinates of M?

Answers

Answer:

Coordinates of M = [tex]\left ( -2,4 \right )[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AM:MB = 1:4, A has coordinates (-4, 3) and B has coordinates (6, 8)

To find: coordinates of M

Solution:

According to section formula, if M(x, y) divides line joining points [tex]A(x_1,y_1)\,,\,B(x_2,y_2)[/tex] in ratio [tex]m:n[/tex] then coordinates of point M are [tex]\left ( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} \right )[/tex]

Put [tex]A(x_1,y_1)=(-4,3)\,,\,B(x_2,y_2)=(6,8)\,,\,m:n=1:4[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex](x,y)=\left ( \frac{6-16}{1+4},\frac{8+12}{1+4} \right )=\left ( -2,4 \right )[/tex]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope since we have two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (-12-8)/(3 - -1)

   = (-12-8)/(3+1)

   = -20/4

   = -5

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope since we have two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  = (-12-8)/(3 - -1)

  = (-12-8)/(3+1)

  = -20/4
