Step-by-step explanation:
By Law of Indices, a^m / a^n = a^(m-n).
Therefore a² / a⁸ = a^(-6).
x = -6.
2x - 3y = 6
-3y = 6 - 2x
y = -2 + 2/3x
Answer:
52 Sides
Step-by-step explanation:
Octagons have 8 sides so 3 x 8 = 24
Pentagons have 5 sides so 4 x 5 = 20
Trapezoids have 4 sides so 2 x 4 = 8
Add it all up and it equals 52 sides in total
To solve this you need to take the answer from the previous iteration.
Iteration 1: The answer is given
a1 = 300
Iteration 2: Solve using the equation. a(n-1) is the answer from the previous iteration. n = the number of the current iteration. So, a(n-1) = 300 and n = 2
a2 = 300/2 = 150
Iteration 3: a(n-1) = 150 and n = 3
a3 = 150/3 = 50
Iteration 4: a(n-1) = 50 and n = 4
a4 = 50/4 = 12.5
Answer: 12.5
