A6 = -8
a15= -62

There are (15 - 6) terms in between, therefore 9 terms in between.
-8 to -62 ... there is a difference of 54
54 ÷ 9 = 6
Therefore it gets -6 each term.
a6 = -8, a7= -14, a8 = -20 ......

That's an arithmetic sequence. To find the rule of the sequence, we need to find the first term (a₁) and the difference of the sequence (d)

Make an equation system based on what are given by the question.
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)

a₆ = a₁ + d(6 - 1) = -8
a₆ = a₁ + 5d = -8 (first equation)

a₁₅ = a₁ + d(15 - 1) = -62
a₁₅ = a₁ + 14d = -62 (second equation)

Solve the equation to find the value of a₁ and d
Using elimination method, find the value of d from first equation and second equation
a₁ + 14d = -62
a₁ +  5d =   -8
-------------------- -   (substract)
        9d = -54
          d = -54/9
          d = -6

Using subtitution method, find the value of a₁. Subtitute d with -6 from the first equation.
a₁ + 5d = -8
a₁ + 5(-6) = -8
a₁ - 30 = -8
a₁ = -8 + 30
a₁ = 22

Determine the rule of the sequence
General rule for arithmetic sequence is
an = a + d(n - 1)

Now input the value of a₁ and d to the general rule, then simpllify.
an = a + d(n - 1)
an = 22 + -6(n - 1)
an = 22 -6n + 6
an = 28 - 6n

The rule of the sequence is 28 - 6n

2 thirds of the product of 3 octavos and 16
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation:

finding the product of 2 numbers means that you have to multiply those numbers

when multiplying fractions , numerators are multiplied by numerators and denominators by denominators

therefore product of 3/8 and 16 is 6

next we have to find 2/3 of 6

'of' operator means multiplication

answer is 4

hope it helps

GIVING BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER HAS A GOOD EXPLANATION AND ANSWER
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

-1/5>-10/4

Step-by-step explanation:

In the negatives, If you take away the negative the lower number is more.

Think about a number line, if you are at -1/5, it means that you are 1/5 away from 0. If you are at -10/4, It means that you are 10,4 away from 0.

In conclusion, -1/5>-10/4
