1 answer:

3 0

A(n) = a1 * r^(n-1)
a1 = first term = -8
r = common ratio = 5

a(2) = -8 * 5^(2-1)
a(2) = -8 * 5^1
a(2) = -40

a(3) = -8 * 5^(3 - 1)
a(3) = -8 * 5^2
a(3) = -8 * 25
a(3) = -200

a(4) = -8 * 5^(4 - 1)
a(4) = -8 * 5^3
a(4) = -8 * 125
a(4) = -1000

a(5) = -8 * 5^(5 - 1)
a(5) = -8 * 5^4
a(5) = -8 * 625
a(5) = -5000

a(6) = -8 * 5^(6-1)
a(6) = -8 * 5^5
a(6) = -8 * 3125
a(6) = -25,000

the first 6 terms are : -8, -40, -200, -1000, -5000, -25,000

The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of m for the equation 5m − 2m + 4 = −1 + 12: Step 1: 5m − 2m + 3

Delicious77 [7]

Given:

Consider the equation is:

$5m-2m+3=-1+12$

Some steps of the solution are given.

To find:

The next step of the solution.

Solution:

Step 1: The given equation is:

$5m-2m+3=-1+12$

Step 2: Simplifying right hand side.

$5m-2m+3=11$

Step 3: Simplifying left hand side.

$3m+3=11$

These steps are already given. So, the next step is:

Step 4: Subtracting 3 from both sides.

$3m=8$

Therefore, the correct option is (b).

Molly is raising cows. She has a pasture for them that is 0.65 square miles in area. One dimension of the pasture is 0.4 miles l

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The other dimension of the pasture (width) is $1.625\ mi$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem I assume that the pasture has the shape of a rectangle.

Let

x -----> the length of the pasture

y -----> the width of the pasture

we know that

The area of the pasture (rectangle) is equal to

$A=xy$

we have

$A=0.65\ mi^{2}$

$x=0.4\ mi$

substitute and solve for y

$0.65=0.4y$

$y=0.65/0.4$

$y=1.625\ mi$
