Hello,
a(2)=-6
a(3)=-6*r
a(4)=-6*r²
a(5)=-6*r^3=162
a(5)/a(2)=r^3=162/(-6)=-27==>r=-3
a(1)=-6/(-3)=2
a(2)=2*(-3)
a(3)=2*(-3)²
a(4)=2*(-3)^3
a(5)=2*(-3)^4
a(n)=2*(-3)^(n-1)
Answer
You need to use the Pythagorean theorem for this. Take the square root of (48^2 + 36^2). This will give you the length of the diagonal.
48^2 + 36^2 = 3600
Remember we need to take the square root of 3600, which is just 60.
The length of the diagonal is 60 inches.
You need to know that:
1 ounce = 28.35 grams
So, 1 tube contains
3.0 oz × 28.35 = 85.05g total mass
Mass of Benzyl salicylate =
2.40/100 = Percentage of Benzyl salicylate (in numerical value)
= 0.024
0.024 × 84 = Mass of Benzyl Salicylate
=2.016g
If one tube contains
2.016g × 425 tubes
=856.8g
Then,
Converting into kg by (dividing by 1000)
=856.8 ÷ 1000
= 0.8568 grams
= 0.857g (3sf)
