Answer:

a_{n} = 4 \times (-3)^{n-1}; all integers where n ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the first term of the sequence is 4 i.e. a_{1} =4 and second term is -12 i.e. a_{2} = -12.

Now, the nth term of geometric sequence is given by,

a_{n} = a_{n-1} \times r, where r is the common ratio of the sequence.

So, using the given values we get,

a_{2} = a_{1} \times r

i.e. r = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }

i.e. r = \frac{-12}{4}

i.e. r = -3.

Now the explicit formula for the geometric equation is given by,

a_{n} = a_{1} \times r^{n-1}.

i.e. a_{n} = 4 \times(-3)^{n-1}, where n\geq 1

Hence option first is correct.

The geometric sequence is given by:
an=ar^(n-1)
where:
a=first term
r=common ratio
n is the nth term
given that a=4, and second term is -12, then
r=-12/4=-3
hence the formula for this case will be:
an=4(-3)^(n-1)
where n≥1

Alinara [238K]

To solve this you have to first find out how many 1000s are in 14000

There are 14 1000s in 14000 so now you multiply 15.68 by 14

15.68*14=219.52

so the answer is $219.52

What is the answer to this?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

<h2>x = 14, z = 65</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles (5x - 5)° and (6x + 31)° are supplementary angles.

Supplementary Angles add up to 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:

5x - 5 + 6x + 31 = 180             <em>combine like terms</em>

(5x + 6x) + (-5 + 31) = 180

11x + 26 = 180               <em>subtract 26 from both sides</em>

11x = 154             <em>divide both sides by 11</em>

x = 14

The angles (5x - 5)° and z° are vertical angles.

Vertical angles are congruent.

Therefore we have the equation:

z = 5x - 5               <em>put x = 14 to the equation</em>

z = 5(14) - 5

z = 70 - 5

z = 65
