What is the next term in the pattern 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5, ……

31.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to identify the pattern.

Pattern: every next number is obtained by dividing the previous number by 2.

1st number = 1000

2nd number = 1000/2 = 500

3rd number =  500/2 = 250

4th number = 250/2 = 125

5th number = 125/2 = 62.5

6th number = 62.5/ 2 = 31.25.

It can be also solved using concept of geometric progression

In GP

any nth number is given by =

where a is first number

r is the common ratio for the gp

r common ratio is calculated by = nth/(n-1)th

here r = 500/1000 = 1/2

a = 1000

next term which we need to find is 6th terms

Thus, 6th terms =

=1000/32 = 31.25

step-by-step explanation:

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
