This is a geometric sequence with first term 1 and common ratio -1/2.  r=-1/2.

a(n) = a(1)*(r)^(n-1). 

Check:  If n=2 our formula must return -1/2.  Does it?

a(2) =    1(-1/2)^(2-1)  =  (-1/2)^1 = - 1/2.  Yes.
a(3) should be 1/4.  Is it?     a(3) = (-1/2)^(3-1) = 1/4    Yes. 

Then a(8) = (-1/2)^(8-1) = (-1/2)^7 = -1 / 2^7  = -1/128 (answer)

What is the vertex of the following graph?
boyakko [2]

The graph represents a parabola and a parabola is maximum or minimum at its vertex . So we need to check the graph , and find the point where the graph is maximum or minimum. And from the given graph , we can say that it is a downward up parabola which is minimum at its vertex . And the minimum point is (1.4). So the vertex is (1,4) .

FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST OR FIVE STARS Define the domain and range of the function.
uysha [10]

Answer:

Domain: (-∞, ∞)

Range: (-∞, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain are the x-values included in the function (the horizontal axis).

The range are the y-values included in the function (the vertical axis).

The two arrows on the ends of the line (pointing upwards and downwards respectively) indicate that the function goes in those direction for infinity. Therefore, if there are an infinite amount of y-values, the range is (-∞, ∞).

While the slope is quite steep, there is still a slope and slowly "expands" the line on the horizontal axis. Because there is no limit to the y-values, the domain will also expand infinitely. Therefore, the domain is also (-∞, ∞).
