Question #1:

Since the common ratio is -2 that means each term is going to be multiplied by -2 to get the next term.

First term: -8

Second term: -8 * -2 = 16

Third term: 16 * -2 = -32

Fourth term: -32 * -2 = 64

Therefore, the first 4 terms of the geometric sequence are -8, 16, -32, 64

Question #2:

It gives an equation to follow to solve for each term of the sequence. We can solve for each term till we get to the 4th term.

Second term:

a2 = 2(5) + 3

a2 = 10 + 3

a2 = 13

Third term:

a3 = 2(13) + 3

a3 = 26 + 3

a3 = 29

Fourth term:

a4 = 2(29) + 3

a4 = 58 + 3

a4 = 61

Therefore, the fourth term of the sequence is 61.

Question #3:

a5 just means that we are going to find the fifth term of the sequence.

Second term:

a2 = -3(2) + 2

a2 = -6 + 2

a2 = -4

Third term:

a3 = -3(-4) + 2

a3 = 12 + 2

a3 = 14

Fourth term:

a4 = -3(14) + 2

a4 = -42 + 2

a4 = -40

Fifth term:

a5 = -3(-40) + 2

a5 = 120 + 2

a5 = 122

Therefore, the fifth term of the sequence is 122.

Best of Luck!

Answer:

<u>PICTURE #1</u>

<u />a_1 = 5\\a_2 = 2a__(n-1) + 3

<u>Step 1:  Solve for </u>a_2

a1 = 5

a_2 = 2a___n-1\\ +3

a_2=2a__(2-1) + 3

a_2 = 2a_1 + 3

a_2 = 2(5) + 3

a_2 = 10 + 3\\

a_2 = 13

<u>Step 2:  Solve for </u>a_3

a_2 = 13

a_3 = 2a__(3-1) + 3

a_3 = 2a_2 + 3

a_3 = 2(13) + 3

a_3 = 26 + 3

a_3 = 29

<u>Step 3:  Solve for </u>a_4

a_3 = 29

a_4 = 2a__(4-1) + 3

a_4 = 2a_3 + 3

a_4 = 2(29) + 3

a_4 = 58 + 3

a_4 = 61

The fourth terms is:  a_4 = 61

<u>PICTURE #2</u>

<u></u>a_1 = 2\\a_2 = -3a__(n - 1) + 2

<u>Step 1:  Find </u>a_2

a_2 = -3a_1 + 2

a_2 = -3(2) + 2

a_2 = -6 + 2

a_2 = -4

<u>Step 2:  Find </u>a_3

a_3 = -3a_2 + 2

a_3 = -3(-4) + 2\\

a_3 = 12 + 2

a_3 = 14

<u>Step 3:  Find </u>a_4

a_4 = -3a_3 + 2

a_4 = -3(14) + 2

a_4 = -42 + 2

a_4 = -40

<u>Step 4:  Find </u>a_5

a_5 = -3a_4 + 2

a_5 = -3(-40) + 2\\

a_5 = 120 + 2

a_5 = 122

Answer:  The fifth term for the second picture is -> a_5 = 122

andriy [413]

Answer:

W=32

L=70

Step-by-step explanation:

L=2w+6

204=2L+2W

204=2w+2(2w+6)

204=2w+4w+12

192=6w

w=32

L=2(32)+6

L=70

And an electronics warehouse ships TVs and DVD players to retailers all throughout the United States. The weight of three televi
vodomira [7]
X= weight of TV
y= weight of CD

3x+5y= 62.5
3x+ 2y= 52
You can either solve for a variable, or eliminate a variable by subtracting the second equation from the first:

3x + 5y = 62.5
-(3x+2y = 52)
0 + 3y = 10.5, so y = 10.5/3 or 3.5.

Now plug y= 3.5 back into any equation to get x:

3x + 5(3.5) = 62.5
3x + 17.5 = 62.5
3x = 45
x = 15
Always check work. Both equations should be true for x=15, y= 3.5
