1 answer:

5 0

In this item, we are to calculated for the 6th term of the geometric sequence given the initial value and the common ratio. This can be calculated through the equation,

An = (A₀)(r)ⁿ ⁻ ¹
where An is the nth term, A₀ is the first term (in this item is referred to as t₀), r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms.

Substitute the known values to the equation,

An = (5)(-1/2)⁶ ⁻ ¹
An = -5/32

Hence, the answer to this item is the third choice, -5/32.

Victoria buys 2 pairs of sunglasses for $8 each

1 pair of glasses = $8

8 x 2 = total amount

multiply

8 x 2 = 16

total amount = 16

She payed $16 for both pairs of glasses.

hope this helps
