This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -1/3 and an initial term of -324. Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), in this case a=-324 and r=-1/3 so
a(n)=-324(-1/3)^(n-1) so the 5th term will be
a(5)=-324(-1/3)^4
a(5)=-324/81
a(5)= -4

What pattern do you see in the powers of 4?

Over [174]

All of them are even numbers. You will not find a power of 4 that is an odd number. Also, all of the numbers have a 4 or a 6 or both. For example,
4^3= 64

4^8= <span>65536

I hope this helps:)</span>

Which equation is an equation of a circle with a radius of 3 and it’s center is at (5,-2)?

storchak [24]

$\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ (x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2 \qquad center~~(\stackrel{5}{ h},\stackrel{-2}{ k})\qquad \qquad radius=\stackrel{3}{ r}\\[1em] [x-5]^2+[y-(-2)]^2=3^2\implies (x-5)^2+(y+2)^2=9$

If you split a right angle with a ray going through the middle of the right angle, the two angles formed will be

blagie [28]

Answer:

acute angles

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle measures 90 degrees, so if you split it into 2 parts, each part will measure less than 90 degrees. Thus, the two angles will be <u>acute</u>
