Answer: The sequence is: An = -2*8^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

 geometric sequence is of the form:

An = a*r^(n-1)

where can be any positive integer number.

here the first two numbers are -2 and -16, so we have that:

A1 = a*r^(0) = a = -2

now, we know that our sequence is of the form:

An = -2*r^(n-1)

now, for n= 2 we have that:

A2 = -2*r^(1) = -2*r = -16

r = -16/-2 = 8

now we have determinated our sequence:

An = -2*8^(n-1)

The circle has a diameter of 16 inches. What is the area of the circle, rounded to the nearest square inch?
Ratling [72]

<u>Statement</u><u>:</u>

The circle has a diameter of 16 inches.

<u>To </u><u>find </u><u>out:</u>

The area of the circle.

<u>Solution</u><u>:</u>

  • Diameter of the circle = 16 inches.

  • Radius of the circle
  • = Diameter ÷ 2
  • = 16 inches ÷ 2
  • = 8 inches

  • π = 3.14

  • We know, area of a circle = πr² where r is the radius.

  • Therefore, the area of the circle
  • = 3.14 × (8)² square inches
  • = 3.14 × 64 square inches
  • = 200.96 square inches
  • = 201 square inches [rounded to the nearest square inch]

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

C) 201 square inches

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.
