<h3>Answer:   -64</h3>

=======================================

Work Shown:

We have a geometric sequence

a = first term = -1

r = common ratio = (second term)/(first term) = 2/(-1) = -2

nth term

a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)

a(n) = -1*(-2)^(n-1)

Now plug in n = 7 to get the 7th term

a(n) = -1*(-2)^(n-1)

a(7) = -1*(-2)^(7-1)

a(7) = -1*(-2)^6

a(7) = -1*(64)

a(7) = -64

The first seven terms are

-1, 2, -4, 8, -16, 32, -64

To get each new term, we multiply the last term by the common ratio -2

First, we need to find the rule for the sequence.
There’s not really an exact way to do this, you just have to look for a pattern.
This sequence follows the following notation:
An= -(-2^(n-1))
Then, we can plug 7 in for n.
A7 = -(-2^(n-1))
A7=-(-2^6)
A7=-64

Hey:) can you please help me posted picture of question

Answer:
x² + 10x + 25

Explanation:
Before we begin, remember the following:
(a + b)(a + b) = (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

Now, for the given we have:
(x + 5)(x + 5)
We can note that the two brackets are identical.
Therefore, we can apply the above rule as follows:
(x + 5)(x + 5) = (x + 5)²
                     = (x)² + 2(x)(5) + (5)²
                     = x² + 10x + 25

Hope this helps :)

Jessica has 20 pieces of candy in a bag: 2 mint sticks, 9 jelly treats, and 9 fruit tart chews. If she eats one piece every 10 m
dedylja [7]

Answer:

18.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case what we must do is calculate the probability of eating a jelly treats first and then another jelly treats, being the final probability the multiplication of these events.

We know that there are 20 in total and that initially there are 9 jelly treats, so the first event is the probability:

9/20  

And the second event, with one less in each, would be:

8/19

The final probability then:

9/20 * 8/19 = 0.1895

So the probability of this happening is 18.95%

Talia gave her hairdresser a 20 percent tip, which amounted to $7. What was the price of the service before the tip?
mina [271]
I don't know if I did it right but here's my guess. I think you multiply 7 by 20% and that gives you 1.40 as a result. Compared to the other method I used (division), I'm pretty sure I'm right since the other result was 35. Doesn't make sense if the end amount was $7.
