The first term of this sequence is -20, and the common ratio is 11. Thus, the formula for the nth term is

a(n) = a(1)*(11)^(n-1), or (-20)*(11)^(n-1).

Thus, the 12th term is

a(12) = (-20)*(11)^(12-1) = -20(11)^11 = -20(2.85 times 10 to the 11th power.

or ... -5.71 times 10 to the 12th power.

Plss answer!! <br>MERRY Christmas!!! <br>Critical Question. AAAAA

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

abc = 1

We have to prove that,

$\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+c+a^{-1}}=1$

We take left hand side of the given equation and solve it,

$\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+\frac{1}{c}}+\frac{1}{1+c+\frac{1}{a}}$

Since, abc = 1,

$\frac{1}{c}=ab$ and c = $\frac{1}{ab}$

By substituting these values in the expression,

$\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+\frac{1}{c}}+\frac{1}{1+c+\frac{1}{a}}=\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+ab}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{ab}+\frac{1}{a}}$

$=\frac{b}{b+ab+1}+\frac{1}{1+b+ab}+\frac{ab}{ab+1+b}$

$=\frac{1+b+ab}{1+b+ab}$

$=1$

Which equal to the right hand side of the equation.

Hence, $\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+c+a^{-1}}=1$
