(98 ) can someone take a look at this? i'm stumped. (answer choices provided)

what is the fifth term of the geometric sequence?

geometric sequence represented by a graph in quadrant 1 with n on x axis and a sub n on y axis. points at (1,81), (2,9), and (3,1). (graph attached)

hint: an = a1(r)n − 1, where a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio

a5 = 1/81

Step-by-step explanation:

(1,81) (2,9) (3,1)

The sequence goes

81,9,1,

We are multiplying by 1/9 each time

a1 = 81

r= 1/9

an = a1 r^(n-1)

an = 81 * (1/9) ^ (n-1)

The 5th terms

a5 = 81 * (1/9) ^ (5-1)

a5 = 81 * (1/9) ^4

a5 = 81/6561

a5 = 1/81

Step-by-step explanation:

(1, 81), (2, 9), (3, 1) means

the common ratio (r) is: 9 ÷ 81  →  r =  1/9

therefore,

one that is bigger than 3 1/2

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is
