Find the 12th term of the geometric sequence 5, -25, 125, ...5,−25,125,...

katovenus [111]

Answer:

$a_{12}=-244140625$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the geometric sequence

$5,-25,\:125,\:...$

$a_1=5$

As the common ratio ' $r$ ' between consecutive terms is constant.

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$

$r=\frac{-25}{5}=-5$

$r=\frac{125}{-25}=-5$

The general term of a geometric sequence is given by the formula:

$a_n=a_1\cdot \:r^{n-1}$

where $a_1$ is the initial term and $r$ the common ratio.

Putting $n = 12$ , $r = -5$ and $a_1=5$ in the general term of a geometric sequence to determine the 12th term of the sequence.

$a_n=a_1\cdot \:r^{n-1}$

$a_n=5\left(-5\right)^{n-1}$

$a_{12}=5\left(-5\right)^{12-1}$

$=5\left(-5^{11}\right)$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=-5\cdot \:5^{11}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}$

$=-5^{1+11}$ ∵ $5\cdot \:5^{11}=\:5^{1+11}$

$=-244140625$

Therefore,

$a_{12}=-244140625$

Solve for c 6/15=2/c

saul85 [17]

$\frac{6}{15}$ = $\frac{2}{c}$ Multiply both sides by 15
6 = $\frac{30}{c}$ Multiply both sides by c
6c = 30 Divide both sides by 6
c = 5

2(4-8x)+6=-1 interpreting experiessions

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

X = $\frac{13}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (4-8x) + 6 = 1

Multiply parentheses by 2

8 - 16x + 6 = 1

add (8 + 6)

14 - 16x = 1

Move constant to right and change its sign

-16x = 1 -14

Calcualte te difference

-16x = -13

divide bot sides by -16

x = $\frac{13}{16}$

linda scored 35, 47, and 42 points on three tests. how many points should she get on the fourth test to get an average score of

aliya0001 [1]

(35 + 47 + 42 + x) / 4 = 50
(124 + x) / 4 = 50....multiply both sides by 4, cancelling the 4 on the left side.
124 + x = 50 * 4
124 + x = 200
x = 200 - 124
x = 76 <===
