A sequence of numbers that follows a rule is a what?
It is a sequence of numbers. That is all. The sequence could be arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, exponential or be defined by a rule that does not fit into any of these categories. It could even be random.
What situations could be modeled by a geometric sequence?
None of the following could.
What is the 77nth term of this sequence?
I try to be psychic, but fail miserably. If you could give me a clue, like the first few terms of the sequence, I could have a go at giving you the 77th term.
What is a sequence which is not convergent defined as?
It could be divergent eg 1+1+1+1+... Or, it could be oscillating eg 1-1+1-1+ ... So there is no definition for a sequence that is not convergent except non-convergent.
What is next in the sequence 5 10 6 9 7?
It could be: 8
What is used in Excel to continue a sequence in adjacent cells?
You could use the Fill Series facility. You could also do it using a formula.
If you knew the sequence of nucleotides within a gene which one what could you determine with the most accuracy?
the primary structure of the protein
How could you determine the area of a shape without a formula for a composite figure?
A person cannot determine the area of a shape without a formula for a composite figure. A formula must always be implemented in order to properly come with an equation.
In what period did a formula determine how many immigrants could come from each country every year?
-After 1924
What is a sequence that could result from an inversion of the sequence GAGACATT?
GTGACATT
A sequence of numbers that follows a rule is a what?
It is a sequence of numbers. That is all. The sequence could be arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, exponential or be defined by a rule that does not fit into any of these categories. It could even be random.
Is a sequence a pattern?
Not necessarily. It is simply an ordered set: it could be a sequence of random numbers.
What situations could be modeled by a geometric sequence?
None of the following could.
Can a sequence of numbers be both geometric and arithmetic?
Yes, it can both arithmetic and geometric.The formula for an arithmetic sequence is: a(n)=a(1)+d(n-1)The formula for a geometric sequence is: a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)Now, when d is zero and r is one, a sequence is both geometric and arithmetic. This is because it becomes a(n)=a(1)1 =a(1). Note that a(n) is often written anIt can easily observed that this makes the sequence a constant.Example:a(1)=a(2)=(i) for i= 3,4,5...if a(1)=3 then for a geometric sequence a(n)=3+0(n-1)=3,3,3,3,3,3,3and the geometric sequence a(n)=3r0 =3 also so the sequence is 3,3,3,3...In fact, we could do this for any constant sequence such as 1,1,1,1,1,1,1...or e,e,e,e,e,e,e,e...In general, let k be a constant, the sequence an =a1 (r)1 (n-1)(0) with a1 =kis the constant sequence k, k, k,... and is both geometric and arithmetic.
How do you calculate Molecular formula from empirical formulaWhat could you do with that information to determine that the empirical and molecular formulas are related to one another by a factor of 6?
In order to find molecular formula from empirical formula, one needs to know the molar mass of the molecular formula. Then you simply divide the molar mass of the molecular formula by the molar mass of the empirical formula to find out how many empirical formulae are in the molecular formula. Then you multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula by that number.
Explain why the percent composition of certain compounds are not sufficient to determine the compounds molecular formulas?
Because unlike the empirical formula, the molecular formula does not have to be the simplest ratio.If by chance you are given the percent composition of the elements in a substance, you could calculate the empirical formula and then the empirical formula's mass. However, the molecular formula equation is molecular formula= (empirical formula)n, where n is the mass of the molecular formula divided by the mass of the empirical formula. You would, therefore, need to know the mass belonging to the molecular formula, which you are not given.
What is the next number in the sequence 18 15 5 39 36?
The next number could be 26 The next number could be 12 - - - - - - - - - The next number that is in the sequence is 12.
