Answer:
A. A(n) = 150 • (0.74)^n–1 ; 33.29 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric sequence.
a%5B1%5D=1.5m=150cm, r=0.74
The formula is
a%5Bn%5D=a%5B1%5Dr%5E%28n-1%29
Just substitute a1 = 150cm and r = 0.74
a%5Bn%5D=150%280.74%29%5E%28n-1%29
That's the rule.
For the second part, substitute n = 6
cm.

<em>w</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving steps are shown in above pic. (source: Photomath)
Y + 1 = 5(x - 7)
y + 1 = 5x - 35
y = 5x - 36
Deacon Middle School
5x = number of boys
4x = number of girls
where x is some unknown number for now
(number of boys)+(number of girls) = 270 students total
5x+4x = 270
9x = 270
x = 270/9
x = 30
Since x = 30, this means
number of girls = 4x
number of girls = 4*30
number of girls = 120
There are 120 girls at Deacon Middle School
-----------------------------------------
Similarly, for Meadow Middle school
number of boys = 4y
number of girls = 5y
for some number y
(number of boys) + (number of girls) = 180 students total
4y+5y = 180
9y = 180
y = 180/9
y = 20
making,
number of girls = 5*y
number of girls = 5*20
number of girls = 100
so there are 100 girls at Meadow Middle School
-----------------------------------------
In summary so far, there are...
120 girls at Deacon Middle School
100 girls at Meadow Middle School
In total 120+100 = 220 girls from both schools
This is out of 270+180 = 450 students total
Divide the two values (220 and 450) to get
220/450 = 22/45
The final answer is 22/45
It cannot be reduced further as there are no common factors (other than 1) between 22 and 45
