Find the 55th term of an arithmetic sequence whose first three terms are 8,1,and6.arrow_forwardArithmetic or Geometric? The first four terms of a sequence are given. Determine whether they can be terms of an arithmetic sequence, a geometric sequence, or neither. If the sequence is arithmetic or geometric, find the fifth term. 15. 5,5.5,6,6.5,arrow_forward
- What is the 11thterm of the geometric sequence 1.5,3,6,12,... ?arrow_forwardFind the requested term of each geometric sequence. Find the sixth term of the geometric sequence whose first three terms are 14, 1, and 4.arrow_forwardPollution A chemical plant discharges 2400 tons of pollutants every year into an adjacent lake. Through natural runoff, 70% of the pollutants contained in lake at the beginning of the yare are expelled by the end of the year. (a) Explain why following sequence models the An. of the pollutant in the lake at the end of the nth year that the plant is operating. An=0.30An1+2400 (b) Find the first five terms of the sequence An. (c) Find a formula for An. (d) How much of the pollutant remains in the lake after 6 years? How much will remain after the plant has been operating a long time? (e) Verify to part (d) by graphing An with a graphing calculator for n=1ton=20.arrow_forward
