Answer:

Tn = -4^n/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for nth tern of a geometric sequence is given as:

Tn = ar^n-1 where;

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

Since we are looking for the nth term if the geometric sequence, we will write our answer as a function if 'n'.

Given the second and fifth terms to be -8 and 512, respectively, this can be interpreted as;

T2 = ar^2-1 = -8

T5 = ar^5-1 = 512

From the equations above, we have;

ar = -8... (1)

ar⁴ = 512

Dividing both equation, we have;

ar⁴/ar = -512/8

r³ = -64

r = -4

Substituting r = -4 into equation 1, we have;

a(-4) = -8

-4a = -8

a = 2

Since nth term Tn = ar^n-1

Substituting the value of a and r into the equation will give;

Tn = 2(-4)^n-1

2(-4^n × -4^-1)

2(-4^n × -1/4)

= -4^n/2

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first define the concepts a little:

We have that when the sides are congruent that is to say that they have the same direction and the same size and also the two opposite sides are parallel, the angles will be the same.

Now, in an isosceles triangle, two angles are congruent, because their two sides are congruent.
