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

NeX [460]

When you divide by 100 you are essentially moving the decimal of the number two places to the left. In undoing this you would have to move the decimal of the number two places to the right.

28.003 would then turn into 2,800.3

Unfortunately I cannot draw a chart on here but that is the best I can do.

On an exam you get two points for every question answered correctly, zero points for each question left blank and lose one-half
Paraphin [41]

Using multiplication, the total score on the exam if you answered 13 questions correctly, leave 7 questions blank and answer 5 questions incorrectly is 39 point.

According to the question,

For each correct question, you get 2 points, and there are 22 correct questions, so multiply 22 by 2

22 * 2 = 44 points.

For each question left blank, you get 0 points, and there are 7 questions left blank, so multiply 7 by 0

7 * 0 = 0 points

For each incorrect question, you get -1 point, and there are 5 incorrect questions, so multiply 5 by -1

5 * (-1) = -5 points.

The total number of score = 22*2 + 7*0 + 5*(-1) = 44 + 0 - 5 = 39 points.

Hence, using multiplication, the total score on the exam if you answered 13 questions correctly, leave 7 questions blank and answer 5 questions incorrectly is 39 point.
