Answer:

Nth term = (4/3) × (-3)^n

18th term: 516560652 or 4 × 3¹⁷

Step-by-step explanation:

-4, 12 , -36...

Are terms of a Geometric progression with:

First term = -4

Common ratio = 12/-4 = -3

Nth term = -4 × (-3)^(n-1)

= -4 × (-3)^(n)/(-3)

= (-4/-3) ×3^n

= (4/3) × (-3)^n

18th term: n = 18

-4 × (-3)^(18-1)

-4 × (-3)¹⁷

4 × 3¹⁷

Answer:

an = -4 * (-3)^ (n-1)

513560652

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the common ratio

12/-4 = -3

r =-3

The explicit formula is

an =a1 r^(n-1)

an = -4 * (-3)^ (n-1)

We want the 18 th term

a 18 = -4 (-3) ^ 17

Michael received a grant to make a community garden. He makes a scale drawing of his vision for the garden. Michael's drawing sh
Mila [183]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram to the question attached.

From the diagram, we are given the following dimension for one of the beds;

Length = 16cm

Width = 8cm

If the scale from his drawing to the actual garden is 2 cm for every 1 ft, then on converting to feet;

2cm = 1ft

16cm = x fr

cross multiply

2x = 16

x = 8ft

Hence 16cm = 8ft (based on the scale)

Similarly:

2cm = 1ft

8cm = x fr

cross multiply

2x = 8

x = 4ft

Area of the garden bed (in feet) = Length * Width

Area of the garden bed = 8ft * 4ft

Area of the garden bed = 32ft²

Hence the actual area of one of the garden beds is 32ft². We need to find 2 things fir us to get the required answer. First is the length of the bed in feet and the second is the width of the bed in feet.

kolbaska11 [484]
First you would have to find the base which would be 9^2 + 9^2= C^2 because of the pythagorean theorem. So the base would equal 12.7. To find the area of a triangle it’s A= h•b / 2. So your answer would be 95.25
