What is the next term in the sequence below? -324,108,-36,12,...

2 answers:

5 0

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

Answer:

$3^{-2} = \dfrac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of negative exponent:

$a^{-n} = \dfrac{1}{a^n}$

In our case, a = 3 and -n = -2.

$3^{-2} = \dfrac{1}{3^2}$

Now we just evaluate the power in the denominator.

$3^{-2} = \dfrac{1}{3^2} = \dfrac{1}{9}$

To keep and show decimals we divide 20 by 100 to show 1.02 then show any 2 placement decimals if none are shown in draft first then you can try in draft 20/1000 to see the difference between the decimals.
