A geometric sequence is given by terms a₁ = 120, a₂ = 36, a₃ = 10.8, a₆ = 0.2916.

The First term is given, a = 120.

Common ratio (r) would be ratio of second term to first term i.e.

r=\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}} = \frac{36}{120} = 0.3

The formula for n-th term of geometric sequence is given by as follows :-

a_{n} =a*r^{n-1}

It says to find 5th term of this given geometric sequence. For 5th term, n = 5.

a_{5} =120*(0.3)^{5-1} \\\\ a_{5} =120*(0.3)^{4} \\\\ a_{5} =120*(0.0081) \\\\ a_{5} =0.972

Hence, a₅ = 0.972 would be 5th term of the given geometric sequence.

Since the margin of error is 5%, the minimum of supporters will be less than the maximum of disapprovers. 

So the third option will be correct. You cannot make certain conclusions based on this survey.

Helen’s house is located on a rectangular lot that is 1 1/8 miles by 9/10 mile.Estimate the distance around the lot
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The distance around the lot is 4.05 miles .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)

As given

Helen’s\ house\ is\ located\ on\ a\ rectangular\ lot\ that\ is\ 1 \frac{1}{8}\ miles\ by\ \frac{9}{10}\ mile.

i.e

Helen’s\ house\ is\ located\ on\ a\ rectangular\ lot\ that\ is\ \frac{9}{8}\ miles\ by\ \frac{9}{10}\ mile.

Here

Length = \frac{9}{8}\ miles

Breadth = \frac{9}{10}\ miles

Put in the formula

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 2(\frac{9}{8}+\frac{9}{10})

L.C.M of (8,10) = 40

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = \frac{2\times (9\times 5+9\times 4)}{40}

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = \frac{2\times (45+36)}{40}

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = \frac{2\times 81}{40}

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = \frac{81}{20}

Perimeter of rectangle = 4.05 miles

Therefore the  distance around the lot is 4.05 miles .
