Problem
Find the nth term
tn = (-1 )^(n -1) * (a)^n answer or
tn = (-1)^(n - 1) * 2^n
where a is defined as the first term (it usually is given that designation).
Try a few to make sure the formula is correct
<em>n = 1</em>
t1 = (-1)^(1 - 1) * 2^1
t1 = (-1)^0 * 2
t1 = 1 * 2 = 2
<em>n =2</em>
t2 = (-1)^(2 - 1) * 2^2 = (-1)^1 * 4 = -4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Kristin has 3 2/3 yards of plaid ribbon. Converting 3 2/3 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 11/3 yards of plaid ribbon.
She has 2 5/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon. Converting 2 5/6 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 17/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon.
The total number of yards of ribbon that Kristin has would be
11/3 + 17/6 = (22 + 17)/6 = 39/6 yards of ribbon.
Converting to decimal, it becomes 6.5 yards of ribbon. Approximating 6.5 to the nearest yards, it becomes 7 yards. This is because the first digit after the decimal point is 5 and thus, can be rounded up
Answer:
0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we use the base 10 decimal system, first convert 3/4 to out of 100:
3/4 = 75/100
We divide 75 by 100 to get 0.75
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of text messages = 800
Amount used by Tommy and Mary = 1/2 × 800 = 400
Number of messages uses by Jack and Stefanie = 240
The expression to find the number of messages Cathy uses will be:
= 800 - (1/2 × 800) - 240
Since the expression is 800 - (1/2 × 800) - 240, the number of messages that Cathy will use will be:
= 800 - (1/2 × 800) - 240
= 800 - 400 - 240
= 160 messages
