Students are getting signatures for a petition to increase sports activities at the community center. The number of signatures they get each day is 3 times as many as the day before. The expression 3^6 represents the number of signatures they got on the sixth day. How many signatures did they get on the first day?

The students got 3 signatures on first day.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The number of signatures students get each day is 3 times as many as the day before.

Thus, the number of signatures form a geometric progression with common ratio 3.

Number of signatures on sixth day =

term in a geometric progression is given by:

where a is the first term of the series and r is the common ratio.

Thus, the first term of geometric progression is 3.

Thus, the students got 3 signatures on first day.

is means division by fractions

step-by-step explanation:

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
