nevin started a geometric sequence. the first four terms of his sequence are show below.
162,54,18,6, . .
3.) what is the sixth therm of nevin sequence? show or explain how you got the answer.
4.) write an expression that represents the ᵗʰ term of nevin sequence.

3) 2/3

4) an = 162·(1/3)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3) A geometric sequence has a common ratio between adjacent terms. Here, that ratio is ...

r = 54/162 = 18/54 = 6/18 = 1/3

Then the next two terms can be found by multiplying by the common ratio:

6 · 1/3 = 2

2 · 1/3 = 2/3 . . . . . the sixth term

4) The generic expression for the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

an = a1·r^(n-1)

We can put in the numbers for a1 and r, and we have ...

an = 162·(1/3)^(n-1)

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
