Answer:
(b/2)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Given</h3>
A geometric sequence such that ...

<h3>Find</h3>

<h3>Solution</h3>
We can use the ratio of the given terms to find the common ratio of the sequence, then use that to find the desired term from one of the given terms. We don't actually need the common ratio (-2). All we need is its cube (-8).

5, 20, 80, 320, 1280, 5120, 20480, 81920, 327680, 1310720, 5242880, 20971520
The 12th term would be 20,971,520
Everything is being multiplied by 4 each time
Step 2: She did not simplify under the square root correctly
under the square root:
(-6)^2 =36
and -4(5)(-8) =160
therefore under the square root it needs to be square root of 36+160 which is square root of 196.
That answer is 14 when square rooted
69 - 3a = 0
69 - 3a (-69) = 0 (-69)
-3a = -69
-3a(/-3) = -69(/-3)
a = 23
hope this helps
