Nicholas found the 13th term of the geometric sequence 15, 30, 60, 120 the following way: A(13) = 15 * 213
A(13) = 15 * 8,192
A(13) = 122,880

Is Nicolas correct? Why or why not? (Make sure to justify your answer) If Nicolas is incorrect please state the correct solution.

No. Nicolas is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating nth term of a geometric sequence is given as:

= ar^n-1.

where a = first term = 15

r = common ratio = 30/15 = 2

n = 13

Using the formula,

= ar^n-1

= 15 × 2^(13-1)

= 15 × 2^12

= 15 × 4096

= 61440

The 13th term is 61440. Nicolas is wrong.

answer: i think the answer is etheir c or d but i don't know which one but have a good day!

step-by-step explanation:

just do 5.2 + 2 ( 7.2) and 1/3 x 3 (.9) and youv'e got your equation. 0.9( 9/10) + 7.2 ^2 = 16.4 hope i could !
