-163840

Explanation:

The formula to find the nth term for a geometric sequence is

(a1)(r)^n-1

So by plugging in the terms you get

(5)(-2)^16-1 = -163840

Answer: -163840

Step-by-Step Explanation:

As we can see, starting from the first term, every term is repeatedly multiplied by (-2) in order to form this sequence.

1) 5
2) 5 * -2 = -10
3) -10 * -2 = 20
4) 20 * -2 = -40
5) -40 * -2 = 80
6) 80 * -2 = -160
7) -160 * -2 = 320
8) 320 * -2 = -640
9) -640 * -2 = 1280
10) 1280 * -2 = -2560
11) -2560 * -2 = 5120
12) 5120 * -2 = -10240
13) -10240 * -2 = 20480
14) 20480 * -2 = -40960
15) -40960 * -2 = 81920
16) 81920 * -2 = -163840
17) -163840 * -2 =327680

Therefore, 16th Term = -163840

If you do 39.80/ 3 it would give you 13.2667miles and since the tip was not added that’s when you don’t do anything with that number and 3 because every mile you pay 3$

Find the area of the shaded part of the figure. Will mark brainliest! 15 pts
Leona [35]

Answer:25sqrt3-25pi/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the triangle is equilateral, we clearly need to find the radius of the circle, and subtract from the entire area of the triangle.

First, the area of an equilaterail triangle is given by the formula s^2 *sqrt3/4.

Next, the connect the center of the radius to points of tangency. Note this bisects the angle of the equilateral triangle into a 30 degree angle, and connecting radii to points of tangency forms a 90 degree angle, so this is a 30-60-90 triangle. This bisects the side length of the triangle, and the ratio of sides of a 30-60-90. Set this length as x. Thus, we have 4x^2=x^2+25, so 3x^2 =25. Dividing both sides by 3, we get x^2=25/3. Note that we only need x^2, as the formula is x^2 * pi. Hence, the area of the shaded region is 25sqrt3-25pi/3.

Solve for angle h please help quick
viktelen [127]
So the triangle need to equal to 180 so 144+33 that’s 177 so 180- 177 is 3 so the 3h is a straight line meaning that 180 -3
Is 177 so that’s urs answer 177
