an = a1r^(n-1)
a5 = a1 r^(5-1)
-6 =a1 r^4
a2 = a1 r^(2-1)
-48 = a1 r
divide
-6 =a1 r^4
---------------- yields 1/8 = r^3 take the cube root or each side
-48 = a1 r 1/2 = r
an = a1r^(n-1)
an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)
-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1
divide by 1/2
-96 = a1
an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)
the sum
Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]
S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]
=-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]
= 192 * [-131071/131072]
approximately -192
Answer:
3:6:9
Step-by-step explanation:
1/1+2+3 × 90 = 15
2/1+2+3 × 90 = 30
3/1+2+3 × 90 = 45

Hal got 54 points because 6 points for green times 9 green is 54 points. Jay got 49 points because 7 points for red times 7 red is 49 point.
Answer:
x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day
y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = days he reads for 4.5 hours
y = days he reads for 3.5 hours
x + y = 7 (1)
4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)
From (1)
x = 7 - y
Substitute x = 7 - y into (2)
4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)
4.5(7 - y) + 3.5y = 25.5
31.5 - 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5
- 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5 - 31.5
-y = -6
y = 6
Substitute y = 6 into (1)
x + y = 7 (1)
x + 6 = 7
x = 7 - 6
x = 1
x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day
y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days
Answer:
$6.30
Step-by-step explanation:
First, get the volume of the cereal box with the equation V = lwh.
V = 7(3)(10) = 210 cubic inches
Since it costs $.03 per cubic inch, multiply this cost by the volume to get the total cost to fill the box.
.03(210) = $6.30
