Sequence: -4, 8, -16
rate of increase: -16/8 = -2
If you make A1 the first term in the sequence you must use (n-1) in the explicit formula. If you go backwards in the sequence to find A0 = 2 then you would use n.
The don't have A0 = 2 listed as an option so we use A1 = -4 and (n-1) terms.
An = -4(-2)^(n-1)
Solving for the 5th term A5, use n = 5
A5 = -4(-2)^(5-1)
A5 = -4(16)
A5 = -64
So the answer is B.
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
given;
x\y = 3\4
to find;
x\12=?
solution;
using both equations,
3\4=x\12
by cross multiplication,
36\4=x
9=x
x=9
Answer: periodic investment APEX
Step-by-step explanation:
The cream paint is 3/2 of the red, since there are three parts cream for every two parts red. Similarly, the blue paint is 1/2 of the red. Thus, there are 3/2*4=6 liters cream paint and 1/2*4=2 liters blue paint.
