-12 x -12 = 144 I’m pretty sure if not then it is something different
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
an = a1r^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the given sequence,
a1 = - 5
r = 15/- 5 = - 3
Therefore, the explicit rule for this sequence is
an = - 5(- 3)^n - 1

0.5 < x < 16.5 given: Two sides of triangle: 8.0 units and 8.5 units
Measure of third side = x
According to the triangle's inequality,
Sum of any two sides > third side. (i)
Difference between the sides < third side. (ii)
If x is the third side, then
x < 8+8.5 [Using (i)]
i.e. x< 16.5
Also, x > 8.5-8 [Using (ii)]
i.e. x> 0.5
Hence, Range of possible sizes for side x would be 0.5 < x < 16.5.
