Answer:

a₈ = -  1 / 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

First four terms of the sequence

a₁= 1, a₂= - 1/2, a₃= 1/4 and a₄= -1/8

First we recognize that this is a geometric series (sequence) and we must calculate quotient q.

q = a₂/a₁ = a₃/a₂ = (-1/2)/1 = (1/4)/(-1/2) = - 1/2

q = - 1/2

Formula for calculating n-th term is:

aₙ = a₁ · qⁿ⁻¹

According to this:

a₈ = 1  (-1/2)⁷ = - 1/ 128

The product of the page numbers on two facing pages of a book is 156. Find the page numbers
Gnoma [55]

Let x be the page number then x+1 would be the other page number (because the pages are two facing pages which means they follow on consecutively)

Then

(x)(x+1) = 156

x^2 + x - 156 = 0

x = 12 or x = -13( but x can't be a negative number)

so x = 12

and the next page is 13

Please help me please
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The answer would be "j"

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would want to find the value of the original equation:

5(y + 2) + 4

Use order of operations and distribute the five.

5y + 10 + 4

5y +14

This is the value of the original equation

Now we can work through the other options, but because we already know the answer, lets see about that one.

5 x y + 5 x 2 + 4

Again, use order of operations.

Multiply first

5y + 10 + 4

and complete the equation

5y + 14, which equals our original equation.
