So hmm the first term is -2

and if we divide one term by the term before it, we'd get the "common ratio" "r"

so hmm say -32/8 that gives us -4, so r = -4

thus \bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a_1=\textit{first term}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=-2\\
r=-4
\end{cases}\implies a_n=-2(-4)^{n-1}

Only do question 4<br><br> 50 points<br><br> Topic: Percentage
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a 1

b 6

c 15

Step-by-step explanation:

101% 101/100 = 1 1/100

is 1  complete 100 grid and 1/100 of another grid so you will need 2 grids

589% 589/100 = 5 89/100

is 5 complete 100 grids and 89/100 of another grid so you will need 6 grids

1450% 1450/100 = 14 50/100

is 14 complete grids and 50/100 of another grid so you will need 15 grids
