Let us first check the common ratio for this Geometric series .

-20/ 4= -5

100/-20 = -5

Ratio of any term with it's previous term is -5 so that is the common ratio here .

here first term a= 4 and common ratio r= -5

we know nth term of geometric series is an= a r^(n-1)

let us plug n= 8 a= 4 and r= -5 a8 = 4 ( -5)^(8-1)

a8 = 4 (-78125) = -312500

Answer : -312500

The first term of GP, a=4

Common ratio=\frac{a2}{a1}=\frac{-20}{4}=-5

r=-5

nth term of GP, an=ar^{n-1}

a8=4*(-5)^{8-1}

a8=4*(-5)^{7}

a8=4*-78125

a8=-312500

Multiple Choice What is the sum of five-sixths + start fraction 2 over 3 end fraction? A. one and one-third B. One and one half
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{5}{6} +\frac{2}{3} \\\\=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{2*2}{2*3}  \\\\=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{4}{6} \\\\=\frac{5+4}{6} \\\\=\frac{9}{6} \\\\=\frac{3*3}{3*2} \\\\=\frac{3}{2}

=\frac{2+1}{2} \\\\=\frac{2}{2}+\frac{1}{2}  \\\\=1+\frac{1}{2}

Order of operations (41-3^2)-(4+4)
ladessa [460]

Order is operation is PEMDAS which means Parentheses, Exponents Mulitiplication,division,Addition and Subtraction so you follow the order whether they exist or not.

So (41-3^2)-(4+4)=

41-9-8 = 32-8 = 24

The sides of a quadrilateral are 3, 4, 5, and 6. Find the length of the shortest side of a similar quadrilateral whose area is 9
Georgia [21]

Answer:

9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that length of smaller side is x.

We have been given that the sides of a quadrilateral are 3, 4, 5, and 6. We are asked to find the length of the shortest side of a similar quadrilateral whose area is 9 times as great.

We know that sides of similar figures are proportional. When the proportion of  similar sides of two similar figures is \frac{m}{n}, then the proportion of their area is \frac{m^2}{n^2}.

We can see that length of smaller side of 1st quadrilateral is 3 units, so we can set a proportion as:

\frac{x^2}{3^2}=\frac{9}{1}

\frac{x^2}{9}=\frac{9}{1}

x^2=9\cdot 9

x^2=81

Take positive square root as length cannot be negative:

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{81}

x=9

Therefore, the length of the shortest side of the similar quadrilateral would be 9 units.
