Step-by-step explanation:
Before we find the ninth term, we need to find the common ratio. The common ratio in a geometric sequence is the number that every number after the first one is multiplied by. For example, in the sequence {2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ...}, the common ratio is 2.
Now, for our example, the numbers in the sequence alternate between negative and positive numbers. What does that tell us about the common ratio? Well, the common ratio has to be negative because the negative sign keeps alternating.
So we know the common ratio is negative. But what about the rest of the number? Well, we can see that the ratio has a 1 in the numerator because the numerator is the same throughout the sequence (aside from the alternating negative sign).
Now that we've narrowed down the possibilities to -1/x, let's figure out the denominator of the common ratio. The denominator changes from 3 to 9 to 27 to 81. Do you see a pattern there? Each denominator is 3 times the value of the previous denominator. The denominator of the common ratio, then, must be 3.
Ok. We have our common ratio, -1/3, but the question we still need to find the 9th term in the sequence. Well, we can write out the pattern until we get to the term we want. But what if you were trying to find the one hundredth or the one thousandth term? That would take a very long time to write out. Instead, we can take the first number in the sequence (1/3) and multiply it by the our common factor to the power of the remaining terms. As a formula, this looks like: [tex]a_{1} *f^{n-1} = a_{n}[/tex], where a is your first term, f is your common factor and n is the number of the term you are trying to find.
So, finally, we can solve the problem.
1/3 * (-1/3)⁸ = a₉
1/3 * 1/6561 = 1/19683
So the value of the ninth term of the given geometric sequence is 1/19683.
I hope you learned something and it wasn't too difficult to understand.

What is the perimeter?
Answer:
91+c
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation to find the perimeter of the triagle is every side added together. We know 2 sides which means we add them to get 91. Then we know we don't know the next number but we add it so we just put the c where the next number to be added would go.
Write the following inequalities in slope interact form -12x-2y> -42
Answer:
y < -6x+21
Step-by-step explanation:
-12x-2y> -42
Add 12 x to each side
-12x+12x-2y>12x -42
-2y > 12x-42
Divide by -2 remembering to flip the inequality
-2y/-2 < 12x/-2 -42/-2
y < -6x+21
This is in slope intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:
In an election of housing society,there are 30 voters.Each of them gives the vote.Three persons X,Y and Z are standing for post secretary.If Mr.X got 2/5 of the total votes and Me.Z got 1/4 of the total votes then how much did Mr.Y get?
Answer:
Mr Y got 10 votes
Step-by-step explanation:
The election of the housing society has 30 voters. Each of them gives the vote. The three person vying for the post of secretary are X, Y and Z.
Le us calculate the votes of each contestant
Mr X
He got 2/5 of the total votes
number of votes = 2/5 × 30
number of votes = 60/5
number of votes = 12
Mr Z
He got 1/4 of the total votes
number of votes = 1/4 × 30
number of votes = 30/4
number of votes = 1/4 × 30
number of votes = 7.5 ≈ 8 votes
Mr Y
The remaining votes will be 30 - 12 - 8 = 10 votes
Therefore,
Mr Y got 10 votes
Calculate the probability of all three events occurring.
Answer:
even = 1/2
prime = 1/2
multiple of 5 = 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
probability is the chances of obtaining a certain result out of many attempts.
when rolling a die, the maximum number of results you can get is 6
Then, calculate how many times each of the occurrences appear(even, prime or multiples of 5)
Even = There are only 3 even numbers from 1 to 6
Prime: There are only 3 primes from 1 to 6
Multiples of 5 = There is only one multiple of 5.
Now you present each of this out of 6:
Even: 3/6 = 1/2
Prime: 3/6 = 1/2
Multiple of 5 = 1/6
This can also be presented as a decimal or percentage:
Even: 50% = 0.5
Prime: 50% = 0.5
Multiple of 5 = 16.67% = 0.16
Hope this helps.

compare: 3 5/7 to 3 6/10 which one is greater
Answer:
3 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to get a common denominator.
We can do this by multiplying the fractions by opposite denominators.
This gets us 3 50/70 and 3 42/70
Now we can see that 3 5/7 is greater
Steps:
Using the given inputs: 3 5/7 and 3 6/10
Rewriting these inputs as fractions: 3 5/7 3 6/10
26/7 36/10
The least common denominator (LCD) is: 70.
Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD: 3 5/7 3 6/10
260/70 252/70
Comparing the numerators of the equivalent fractions we have:
3 5/7 3 6/10
260/70 > 252/70
Comparison shows: 3 5/7 > 3 6/10
Answer: 3 5/7 > 3 6/10

(Simplify your answer. Do not include the 5 symbol in your answer.)
minutes can be rented for $26
(Round to the nearest minute as needed)
A linear model
reasonable for this situation
Answer:
(A) The independent variable is time (t) in minutes, and the dependent variable is rental cost (), in dollars. The linear function that models this situation is
R(t) = 30t +8
The time that can be rented for $26 = 1min
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the information given:
Setup charge on Rent at local copy center = $9
an additional $150 for every 5 minutes. To determine the time that can be rented for $26, let's find the relationship between the rental cost and the time.
For every 5min = $150
For 1 min = $150/5
For t min = 150t/5
Where t = number of minutes of rental time
Rental cost = set up charge + additional cost
Let Rental cost = R(t)
R(t) = 9 + 150t/5
Writing it in form of a linear equation: y = mx + c
R(t) = 150t/5 +9
R(t) = (150/5) ×t + 9
R(t) = 30t + 9
The independent variable is time (t) in minutes, and the dependent variable is rental cost (), in dollars. The linear function that models this situation is
R(t) = 30t + 9
The time that can be rented for $26:
Rental cost = $26
R(t) = 30t +9
26 = 30t +9
26-9 = 30t
17 = 30t
t = 17/30 = 0.57
t is approximately = 1min (nearest minute)
The time that can be rented for $26 = 1min
Solve for x. -7x= -8x+7
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x= -8x+7
Add 8x to each side
-7x+8x= -8x+8x+7
x = 7
Answer:
The value of [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]x = 7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]-7x = -8 x + 7[/tex]
Add both sides by [tex]8x[/tex]:
[tex]-7x + 8x = -8x + 8x + 7[/tex]

38. A painting without its frame has
a width 2.5 times its height, h,
in inches. Its frame is 3 in. wide
all along its perimeter. What is
an expression for the area of the
framed painting in terms of h?
Simplify your expression, and write
it in standard form.
Answer:
1.5*w^2 + 15*w + 36
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to make the width of the portrait be 'w'
in addition to that the height of the frameless portrait (h) = 1.5 times its width, i.e. 1.5 * w
Frame width is 3 inches on all sides.
Therefore the area of the framed portrait is the total area of the portrait plus the area of the frame. The figure representing the above scenario is shown below.
I enclose a figure that allows us to see the problem better, the area of the rectangle ABCD is the area of the framed portrait.
From the figure, we have to:
AB = 3 + w + 3 = w + 6
BC = 3 + h + 3 = h + 6 = 1.5 * 2 +6
We know that the area of the rectangle ABCD is given as the product of the length AB and the width BC. Thus,
Area = (w + 6) * (1.5 * w + 6)
Area = 1.5 * w ^ 2 + 6 * w + 9 * w + 36
Area = 1.5*w^2 + 15*w + 36
That is, the expression for the framed portrait area in terms of the width 'w' is:
1.5*w^2 + 15*w + 36

A standard six-sided die is rolled three times. Use multiplication to determine the probability that a one or two appears on the second roll, and an odd number appears on the third roll
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we don't care what appears on the first roll
P( outcome) = 1
Second roll
P(1 or 2) = number of 1 or 2 / total number of outcomes
=2/6 = 1/2
Third roll
odd numbers 1,3,5
P( odd number)= number of odd numbers/ total
=3/6 =1/2
P( outcome, 1or 2, odd) = P( outcome) *P(1 or 2) *P( odd number)
= 1* 1/3 * 1/2
= 1/6

A biologist uses a box-shaped fish trap that measures 1/4meter by 2/3meter by 3/5meter. What is the volume of the trap in the cubic meters.
To find the volume of a box-shaped fish trap, we have to multiply the three dimensions of it:
(1/4 m)* (2/3 m)* (3/5 m)
= (1*2*3)/ (4*3*5) m^(3)
= 6/ 60 m^(3)
= 1/10 m^(3)
= 0.1 m^(3)
The volume of the box-shaped fish trap is 0.1 m^(3).
