Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
r=2
so multiply third term by 2
Semester 1:
let the number of students in the art class be 2a, and the number of the students in the gym class be 7a. (check: the ratio is 2a:7a = 2:7)
so the total number of students is 9a.
semester 2:
the 9a students are go to the art class and gym class at a a ratio of 5: 4,
so 5a students go to the art class, and 4a students go to the gym class.
<span>75 students are in art class in second semester means that 5a=75,
so a=75/5=15.
In the 1st semester the number of students was:
art class: 2a=2*15=30
gym class: 7a=7*15=105</span>
Answer:
it seems like the first term is -64, so lets write the formula accordingly:
a_n = a1(r)^(n-1)
where 'n' is the number of terms
a1 is the first term of the sequence
'r' is the ratio
the ratio is 
because -64 * = 16 and so on...
the explicit formula is :
= 
If you change both to a fraction you would see that you have 1/6 and 1/4 (.25 as a fraction). So 1/5 would be in between them.
You could also change both as a decimal. 1/6 =.166666 and .25 so any number in between them would be correct such as .2 which is the same as 1/5.
