Well,  since we know is a geometric sequence, we can always get the common ratio  of it by simply dividing one value by the one behind it... so let's do so, with say hmm -32 and 8  -32/8 = -4  <-- our common ratio

the first term is -2

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\&#10;a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=n^{th}\ term\\&#10;a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\&#10;r=\textit{common ratio}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;a_1=-2\\&#10;r=-4&#10;\end{cases}\implies a_n=-2(-4)^{n-1}

Out of the 120 students at a summer camp, 72 signed up for canoeing. There were 23 students who signed up for trekking, and 13 o
Virty [35]
Approx - 10% 


72 students signed up for canoeing + the 23 students who signed up for trekking + the 13 students who signed up for both = 108 students 

there are 120 students total, so you have to subtract 120 - 108 = 12 

Now to find the percentage, you have to divide the number of students who didn't sign up for either, by the total 

which is .1 = 10/100 = 10%

mamaluj [8]
The circumference of a circle - C=2 \pi r

C=62.8 \\ \\&#10;62.8=2 \times 3.14 \times r \\&#10;62.8=6.28r \\ \frac{62.8}{6.28}=r \\ r=10

The radius is 10 in.

Louie is trying to find a rectangular canvas for his art project. Its height
Maru [420]

The length of the diagonal of the canvas is approximately 27 degrees.

The height of the rectangular canvas must reach 18 inches. It must form a 48 degrees angle with the diagonal at the top of the canvas.

<h3>Length of the diagonal Canvas</h3>

Therefore, the length of the diagonal can be found as follows:

Using trigonometric ratio,

  • cos ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

where

∅ = 48°

adjacent side = Height of the rectangle = 18 inches

hypotenuse = Length of the diagonal

Therefore,

cos 48° = 18 / h

cross multiply

h = 18 / cos 48°

h = 18 / 0.66913060635

h = 26.9005778976

length of the diagonal ≈ 27 inches
