The answer is 5 . because if you count the # it will go to 28
Answer:
False. The products from cross multiplication are different.
Step-by-step explanation:
To know if a pair of ratios form a proportion, cross multiply. If the products are equal, they are a proportion.
Write like this to see top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) clearly.

Multiply each numerator with the other side's denominator:
4 X 6 = 24
5 X 5 = 25
Are they equal? No. 24 ≠ 25
Therefore it's not a proportion.
Answer:
f(3) = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a line parallel to the y-axis and cross point 3 on the x-axis. This line cuts the parabola at a point whose coordinates on the y-axis are f (3). This is -4.
Hope you understand.
It's pretty clear what the pattern is - 2^(k-1) * (-1)^(k-1) would work backwards, but we have to work forwards to get lower in this case, so we could start at -3 (as long as we put the k-1 in absolute value to make sure it's not 1/8), so we could write it as ∑ (k=1, goes to 4) 2^(|k-4|)*(-1)^(k-4)
It doesn't matter for k-4 because 1/-1 and 1/1 are the same thing as -1 and 1 respectively
