We are told that the first term is 2. The next term is 7(2) = 14; the third term is 7(14) = 98. And so on. So, the first term and the common ratio (7) are known.
The nth term of this geometric series is a_n = 2(7)^(n-1).
Check: What is the first term? We expect it is 2. 2(7)^(1-1) = 2(1) = 2. Correct.
What is the third term? We expect it is 98. 2(7)^(3-1) = 2(7)^2 = 98. Right.<span />
Step-by-step explanation:
these are the functions
and the others are not a functions because the domain can't match to more than one
X + 3x = 27
4x = 27
÷ 4
x = 6.75 (smaller number)
27 - 6.75 = 20.25 (larger number).
I don't know the 'systems of equations' though, sorry.
