This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -1/3 and an initial term of -324. Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), in this case a=-324 and r=-1/3 so
a(n)=-324(-1/3)^(n-1) so the 5th term will be
a(5)=-324(-1/3)^4
a(5)=-324/81
a(5)= -4
Answer:
AAS
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write down the given.
1. ∠V≅∠Y - Given
Since line WZ bisects ∠YWZ, which in other words splits it in half, that means that
2. ∠VWZ ≅ ∠YWZ - angle bisector
3. WZ ≅ ZW - reflexive property
Making the theorem AAS
Answer:
If there is 1 at the top, then you have 1, then 2, then 3, etc.
total number of oranges equals:
1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 16 + 17 + 18 <-- stop at 18 because this is the number of oranges at the base
You can use the formula:
sum of first n numbers = n*(n + 1)/2
-->
18*19/2 = 9*19 = 171
or you can figure it out (basically derive the above formula):
you have:
1 + 18 = 19
2 + 17 = 19
3 + 16 = 19
...
How many pairs do you have? Well, it's just the number of numbers: 1-18 = 18 numbers (divide by 2) = 9 pairs)
9 pairs of 19 = 9 * 19 = 171
Hope this helps!
