We have been given that

a_1=1\\  a_2=3\\
a_ n =(-1)^n a _{n-2} \text{ for } n>3

In order to find the third term, we substitute n=3

a_ 3 =(-1)^3a _{(3-2)}\\
\\
a_ 3 =(-1)^3 a _{1}

Substituting the given value of a_1

a_ 3 =(-1)^3 \times 1\\
\\
a_3=-1\times 1\\
\\
a_3=-1

Similarly, we can find the fourth term by plugging n=4

a_ 4 =(-1)^4a _{(4-2)}\\
\\
a_ 4 =(-1)^4 a _{2}\\
\\
a_4= 1\times 3\\
\\
a_4=3

Therefore, the third term is -1

And the fourth term is 3

HELP PLEASE AND NO LINKS!!!!!!
enot [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Width =x

Length = 2*x = 2x

Diagonal = 5√5

Use Pythagorean theorem

Length² + Width² = diagonal²

  (2x)²    + x²        = (5√5)²      

{(5\sqrt{5})^{2}=5\sqrt{5} *5\sqrt{5}=5*5*\sqrt{5*5}=25*5=75}

     4x²   + x²        = 75

                      5x² = 75

                        x²  = 75/5

                       x²   = 15

                        x = √15

Width = √15

Length = 2√15

Area of rectangle = length *width

                             = √15 *2√15

                             = 2* \sqrt{15*15}\\\\= 2*15\\= 30

                             = 30 square units
