A geometric series has the third term 36 , and sixth term 972 . Find the first term of the series

the first term is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

G(3) = 36

G(6) = 972

Solution:

General formula for geometric series

G(x) = AB^x

From given data: G(6)/G(3) = 972/36 = 27

From formula: G(6)/G(3) = AB^6/(AB^3) = B^3

Therefore

B^3 = 27

B=3

Hence

G(1) = AB^1 = AB^3/B^2=36/3^2=36/9=4

Ans: the first term is 4

a₁ = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric series is

= a₁

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Given a₃ = 36 and a₆ = 972 , then

ar² = 36 → (1)

a = 972 → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

= , that is

r³ = 27 ( take the cube root of both sides )

r = = 3

Substitute r = 3 into (1)

9a = 36 ( divide both sides by 9 )

a = 4

The first term is 4

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.  

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
