Isandro and yvette each have a calculator. yvette starts at 100 and subtracts 7 each time. isandro on the other hand, starts at zero and adds 3 each time. if they press the keys at the same time, will their displays ever show the same number? if so, what is the number?

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

this is a good question! i’ll do some research and what i find, i’ll contact you asap when i have something! ✊
