Answer:
A^2 means a*a
Step-by-step explanation:
A^2 = 5^2=5*5=25
3a^2=3*5^2=3*25=75
A^2+7=5^2+7=25+7=32
Answer:
B. -1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the terms given in the sequence:
4, -2, 1, -1/2, 1/4
we can find the pattern by dividing since it is a geometric seqence:
-2/4 = -1/2
1/-2 = -1/2
-1/2 ÷ 1 = -1/2
So, each term is multiplied by -1/2 to get the next term in the sequence:

Let w be the width of the deck. Then, using the total area, we get:
(9+2w)(18+2w)=400
4w²+54w-238=0
2w²+27w-119=0
(2w-7)(w+17)=0
w=-17 or 7/2
Using the positive value, we get a width of 3&1/2 ft. for the deck
