Question

math help pls

Answer 1

The formula for Geometric Sequence is
\(a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n - 1}\)
Where \(a_1\) represents the first term and \(a_n\) represents the last term.
We know that there are six terms in the sequence and that the 1st term is 3 and the last term is 3072, therefore \(a_1 = 3\) and \(a_6 = 3072\) which means \(n = 6\)
So if we input these values in to the formula, what is the result @beep

Answer 2

would that be C?

Answer 3

Explain how you came up with C because I was asking you what happens if you plug the values into the formula. Do you see the formula above?

Answer 4

Did you understand what I wrote above?

Answer 5

Are you following so far @beep ?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

keep going

Answer 8

So you plug in the values of \(a_6\) and \(a_1\) to the formula then solve for \(r\):

Answer 9

Can you finish solving for \(r\) from here?

Answer 10

After you solve for \(r\) you need to find these values:


Then you will have found all the missing values, but you have to find the value of \(r\) first before you can find the rest of them.

Answer 11

for number one i got square root 3? uh

Answer 12

Can you show some of the work you did to get that?

Answer 13

To solve for \(r\) you have to divide both sides by 3:

Answer 14

Then you have to take the 5th root of 1024 to get \(r\):

Answer 15

Are you able to find \(\sqrt[5]{1024}\) @beep?

Answer 16

@beep what is the matter?

Answer 17

oh o.o nvm

Answer 18

i did something wrong

Answer 19

What step are you on with solving this ?

Answer 20

the first one?

Answer 21

lost track sorry
