Answer: The explicit rule for the geometric sequence is:
an=(2/5) (5)^(n-1), for n=1, 2, 3, 4, ...

Solution:

a1=2/5
an=5 (an-1)

n=2→a2=5 (a2-1)= 5 (a1)= 5 (2/5)→a2= (2/5) (5)
n=3→a3= 5 (a3-1)= 5 (a2)= 5 [(2/5) (5)]=(2/5) (5)^(1+1)→ a3=(2/5) (5)^2
n=4→a4= 5 (a4-1)= 5 (a3)= 5 [(2/5) (5)^2]= (2/5) (5)^(2+1)→ a4=(2/5) (5)^3

a1=2/5=(2/5) (1)=(2/5) (5)^0→a1=(2/5) (5)^(1-1)
a2=(2/5) (5)=(2/5) (5)^1→a2=(2/5) (5)^(2-1)
a3=(2/5) (5)^2→a3=(2/5) (5)^(3-1)
a4=(2/5) (5)^3→a4=(2/5) (5)^(4-1)

Then:
an=(2/5) (5)^(n-1), for n=1, 2, 3, 4, ...

1)

(-2+\sqrt{-5})^2\implies (-2+\sqrt{-1\cdot 5})^2\implies (-2+\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{5})^2\implies (-2+i\sqrt{5})^2 \\\\\\ (-2+i\sqrt{5})(-2+i\sqrt{5})\implies +4-2i\sqrt{5}-2i\sqrt{5}+(i\sqrt{5})^2 \\\\\\ 4-4i\sqrt{5}+[i^2(\sqrt{5})^2]\implies 4-4i\sqrt{5}+[-1\cdot 5] \\\\\\ 4-4i\sqrt{5}-5\implies -1-4i\sqrt{5}

3)

let's recall that the conjugate of any pair a + b is simply the same pair with a different sign, namely a - b and the reverse is also true, let's also recall that i² = -1.

\cfrac{6-7i}{1-2i}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by the denominator's conjugate}}{\cfrac{6-7i}{1-2i}\cdot \cfrac{1+2i}{1+2i}\implies \cfrac{(6-7i)(1+2i)}{\underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{(1-2i)(1+2i)}}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{(6-7i)(1+2i)}{1^2-(2i)^2}\implies \cfrac{6-12i-7i-14i^2}{1-(2^2i^2)}\implies \cfrac{6-19i-14(-1)}{1-[4(-1)]} \\\\\\ \cfrac{6-19i+14}{1-(-4)}\implies \cfrac{20-19i}{1+4}\implies \cfrac{20-19i}{5}\implies \cfrac{20}{5}-\cfrac{19i}{5}\implies 4-\cfrac{19i}{5}

4) A zoologist was checking the weights of three gorillas. Gorilla A weighed 559 pounds, gorilla B weighed 827 pounds and gorill
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1,516 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Gorilla A weighed = 559 pounds Gorilla B weighed = 827 pounds Gorilla C weighed = 130 pounds

Total weight of the gorillas = gorilla A + gorilla B + gorilla C

= 559 pounds + 827 pounds + 130 pounds

= 1,516 pounds

Total weight of the gorillas = 1,516 pounds
