IThe first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary).
72, 24, 8, ...
Find the 8th term.

the eight term is 8/243

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in this geometric sequence is equal to the previous term, divided by 3.

72,24, 8

a = 72, r = 1/3

a = first term, r is common ratio

tn = ar^n-1

t8 = 72÷ 3^8–1

t8 = 72÷ 3^7

= 72/ 3^7

= 8/243

answer: 230 miles ( vote ! )

step-by-step explanation:

180.39 minus 17.99 equals 162.4

then divide 162.4 by .80 to get 230

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
