Let's calculate r of this G.P: (-20)/(4) = - 5(100)/(-20) = - 5So r = -5
The formula to find the nth term of a GP is;
a(n) = a(r)ⁿ⁻¹
<u />a₆ = a(r)⁶⁻¹
a₆ = 4(-5)⁵ = -12500<u />

Answer:

the 6th term of the given sequence is, - 12500

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term for the geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}      ....[1]

where,

a_1 is the first term

r is the common ratio of the terms.

Given the sequence:

4, −20, 100, ...

This is a geometric sequence.

Here,

a_1 =4 and r = -5

We have to find the 6th term of the given sequence:

Substitute n= 6 and the given values in [1] we have;

a_6 = 4 \cdot (-5)^5 = 4 \cdot -3125 = -12500

therefore, the 6th term of the given sequence is, - 12500

URGANT!!! find the coordinates of where the line 2x+3y=12
bezimeni [28]
This has infinitely many solutions if that is all that the question asked...

2x+3y=12

3y=-2x+12

y=(-2x+12)/3  

So for any value of x you choose it will give you the corresponding y value that makes your original equation true.

What is the distance between the bank and Hiroto's house on the map?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The distance is 12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for grid

Required

The distance

From the attached:

B = (-8,6) --- Bank

H = (4,6) --- Hiroto's house

Using distance formula, we have:

d = \sqrt{(x_1- x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

This gives:

d = \sqrt{(-8- 4)^2 + (6 - 6)^2}

d = \sqrt{(-12)^2}

d = \sqrt{144}

d = 12
