Hello : 
<span>the nth term of a geometric sequence is : 
Un = Up ×r^(n-p)    .   r is the common ratio 
for : p=5 and n= 2
U5 = U2 ×r^3
16 = -2 r^3
r^3 = -8
but : -8 = (-2)^3
so :  r = -2
Un = U2 × r^(n-2)
Un = -2 ×(-2)^(n-2)= (-2)^(n-2+1)

</span><span>the nth term of a geometric sequenceis : Un = (-2)^(n-1)</span>

Answer:

Let x = # of commercials

      y = # of movies

<u>System of Equations:</u>

x + y = 90

40x + 110y = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to set our variables before we start solving. After setting the variables, we can set up the equations. If x = # of commercials and y = # of movies, then we can assume x + y = 90, as there have been a total of 90 commercials and movies played altogether. Then, we know that their worth is $500, so the price of all the commercials played and the price of all the movies played (which is 40x + 110y) sum to $500.

What is the range of f(x) = – 4?
Andre45 [30]
The answer is -4. The range is the y-value and when you  say f(x) that is the same thing as y, so if f(x) = -4 that means y = -4 which means the range is -4.
