The answer is -1.5+(-2.75)=-4.25. This equation is the same as the result of -1.5 -2.75.
Fron the table given:
A3 = 112,
A8 = - 3,584
An = A1 *r ^ (n-1)
=> A3 = A1 (r^2) = 112
A8 = A1(r^7) = - 3,584
=> - 3584 / 112 = (r^7) / (r^2)
=> (r^5) = - 32
=> r = - 2
=> A1 (- 2)^2 = 112
=> A1 = 112 / 4 = 28
Answer: a1 = 28
First, convert 5 and 24/10 into a mixed fraction:
5 and 24/10 = 74/10
Now, divide 74/10 by 4:
74/10 ÷ 4 = 74/10 × 1/4
= 74/40
= 37/20
= 1 and 17/20
(Remember that dividing requires you to reciprocate 4)
Hope this helps!
