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

How many cubic centimeters is 5 cubic meters.
tresset_1 [31]
The key to solving this question is first knowing how many cubic cm are in one cubic m:

The ratio is always 1000000 cubic cm in 1 cubic meter.

Knowing this, we calculate how many cubic cm are in 5 cubic meters!

<u>1000000 cubic cm </u>= <u>1 </u><span><u>cubic m</u>
      x </span>cubic cm           5 cubic m

x = 1000000 cubic cm x 5 cubic m ÷ 1 cubic m
x = 5<span>000000 cubic cm

Hope this helps!

If a triangle with vertices A(-1, 4), B(-1, -2), C(2, -2) is dilated with a scale factor of 2 and a center of dilation at the or
givi [52]

Answer:

A' (-2,8) B' (-2,-4) C' (4,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilations Rule :

(x,y) → (kx,ky)

Scale factor = K

When your scale factor is more than one our triangle gets bigger. When your scale factor is less than one our triangle gets smaller.

( you plug in 2 in every point and those are your answers).

Remember negative times negative is positive and positive times negative is negative.

A random sample of size 100 was taken from a population. A 94% confidence interval to estimate the mean of the population was co
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The z value was determined using a normal distribution table. From the normal distribution table, the corresponding z value for a 94% confidence interval is 1.88

The correct option is D

2) if 70% of all internet users experience e-mail fraud. It means that probability of success, p

p = 70/100 = 0.7

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

n = number of selected users = 50

Mean, u = np = 50×0.7 = 35

Standard deviation, u = √npq = √50×0.7×0.3 = 3.24

x = number of internet users

The formula for normal distribution is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

We want to determine the probability that no more than 25 were victims of e-mail fraud. It is expressed as

P(x lesser than or equal to 25)

The z value will be

z = (25- 35)/3.24 = - 10/3.24 = -3.09

Looking at the normal distribution table, the corresponding z score is 0.001

P(x lesser than or equal to 25) = 0.001
