Answer:

a₆ = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is

r = $\frac{216}{-1296}$ = $\frac{-1296}{7776}$ = $\frac{7776}{-46656}$ = - $\frac{1}{6}$

This indicates the sequence is geometric.

To obtain any term in the sequence, multiply the previous term by r, thus

a₅ = 216 × - $\frac{1}{6}$ = - 36

a₆ = - 36 × - $\frac{1}{6}$ = 6

Constructive proof: There exists an integer x such that: (x^3)/5 > x^2

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

$x>5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find an integer x such that $\frac{x^3}{5}>x^2$ .

First of all, we will multiply both sides of inequality by 5.

$\frac{x^3}{5}>x^2$

$\frac{x^3}{5}*5>5*x^2$

$x^3>5x^2$

Divide both sides by $x^2$ :

$\frac{x^3}{x^2}>\frac{5x^2}{x^2}$

$x>5$

Therefore, the value of x is any number greater than 5.
