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

Need help with this math problem
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

m<1 = 51

m<2 = 61

m<3 = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

three angles of a triangle = 180

so knowing that add 68 + 61 to get 129

now subtract cause the last angle will = 180-129 = 51

for angle two is 61 cause their congruent

now we have one angle = 90 and another 61

add them 90+61= 151

now subtract 180-151 = 29

If the formula is a+b-c then you need to substitute the letters with the numbers. For this equation the formula would be:
(1+3-4) + (2+5-6)
(4-4) + (7-6)
0 + 1
=1
The answer would be 1
