Is the 4th term is -15 and the 5th term is 45, then you would set it up like a5=a4(r)^5-4
45=-15(r)^1
Then you would get -3=r so the common ratio is -3, then you have to solve for a1 which would copy the previous format like -15=a1(-3)^3 which would be
(5/9). The formula for a geometric sequence is an=a1(r)^n-1
The formula for a limited geometric sequence is Sn=a1((1-r^n)/(1-r))
(5/8)((1-(-3)^7)/(1-(-3))
(5/9)(16385/5)
2735/9=303 8/9
So D!

Answer:

d) 303 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

4th term = ar^3  and 5th = ar^4   where a = first term and r = common ratio.

So ar^4 / ar^3

= r = 45/-15 = -3.

Working back,:

The first term a = ar^3/ r^3

= -15 / (-3)^3

= -15/-27

= 5/9

Sum of n terms = a * (r^n - 1)/(r-1)

= 5/9 * ((-3)^7 - 1 ) / (-3 -1)

= 303 8/9

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

44.8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Betsy drove from london to wolverhampton.it took her 2.5 hours at an average speed of 56 miles per hour.Mac drove the same journy by motor bike.It took him 2 hours.Assuming that both took the same route,work out Mac's average speed in mph.

The above question is solved using Proportion method

2.5 hours = 56 mph

2 hours = x mph

Cross Multiply

2.5 hours × x mph = 2 hours × 56 mph

x mph = 2 hours × 56 mph/2.5 hours

x mph = 44.8 mph

Therefore, Mac's average speed = 44.8 mph

Are -3.9 and -0.99 on the same side or the opposite side of zero ?
MAXImum [283]

Same side.  Locate -3.9 on the number line.  Then -0.99 is to the right of -3.9, with both numbers being on the same side (that is, on the left side) of zero.
