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 figure can be made with exactly 420 squares?
Natali [406]
5. The 5th figure will have 30 tiles.
6. The 6th figure will have 42 tiles.
7. The pattern is non-linear (quadratic).
8. The 20th figure can be made with 420 tiles.

_____
The Nth figure is made with n*(n+1) tiles. To answer question 8, you must solve
.. n(n +1) = 420
.. n^2 +n -420 = 0
.. (n +21)(n -20) = 0
.. n = 20 or -21 . . . . the negative solution is extraneous

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The answer is 60,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you invest 12,000 at 3.8 annual interest.  Annual means yearly, so that's every year. 12,000 x 5 is 60,000 that's why the answer is 60,000. If the answer is incorrect or correct let me know. If it's correct, mark me as brainlest, give me a rating, or say thank you! Have A Great Day.
