Answer:

The given sequence is geometric sequence

In the given pattern we have next number is a_5=\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers are 64,-16,4,-1

To identify the pattern of the given numbers :

Let a_1=64, a_2=-16 ,a_3=4  and a_4=-1

To find the next number that is a_5

common ratio r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}

=\frac{-16}{64}

r=-\frac{1}{4}

r=\frac{a_3}{a_2}

=\frac{4}{-16}

r=-\frac{1}{4}

Therefore the common ration is r=-\frac{1}{4}

Therefore the given sequence is geometric sequence

The nth term of the geometric sequence is a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

Now find the 5th term so put n=5 , a_1=64andr=\frac{-1}{4} we have

a_5=64(\frac{-1}{4})^{5-1}

=64(\frac{-1}{4})^{4}

=64(\frac{1}{4})^{4}

=64(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4})

=\frac{1}{4}

Therefore a_5=\frac{1}{4}

How do you solve 3x+7=x
vredina [299]
3x + 7 = x

First, subtract 3x from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 7 = x - 3x
Second, simplify x - 3x to -2x. / Your problem should look like: 7 = -2x
Third, divide both sides by -2. / Your problem should look like: \frac{7}{-2} = x
Fourth, simplify \frac{7}{-2} to -\frac{7}{2} / Your problem should look like: - \frac{7}{2} = x
Fifth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x = -\frac{7}{2}

Answer as fraction: -\frac{7}{2}
Answer as decimal: -3.5
