1. –6, 18, –54, 162, . . .

 

Hi haley,

Find the common ratio of the sequence.

1. –6, 18, –54, 162, . . .

 

To find the common ratio r of any sequence you select any term and divide it by the term before it.

 

so

\( r=18\div -6\\or\\ r=-54\div 18\\or\\ r=-162\div -54\\\)

 

do all these and you will see what I mean.

 

you can do the next 3 yourself.

 

Haley please don't put all your homework up like this.  We are here to help you learn not to do all your HW for you ://

7. arithmetic....we are adding -16 to each term to get the next one

 

8. arithmetic......we are subtracting 12 each time

 

9.  You should be able to do this one

 

 

10. note  ..      .5 meters  =  50cm

 

Here's the formula for the height before the nth bounce

 

H = 50(.56)n-1 

 

The top of  the 4th full arc will occur before the 5th bounce....so

 

H  =  50 (.56)(5 -1)  =  50 (.56)4 =  4.91725 cm

 

 

15.   If the common ratio were =1 , all the terms would be the same as the first one....!!!!

 

 

 

cool cool cool
