Answer:

a_n=-\frac{1}{4 a_{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive formula for the geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = a_{n-1} \cdot r

where,

r is the common ratio terms

-16, 4, -1, ...

This is a geometric sequence.

Here,  and

Since,

ans so on .....

Substitute the given values we have;

⇒

Therefore, the recursive formula for the following geometric sequence is,

Answer:

A_n= A_{n-1} (\frac{-1}{4})

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulate the recursive formula for the following geometric sequence.

{-16, 4, -1, ...}

Here the common difference of two terms are not same.

LEts find the common ratio. To find common ratio, divide the second term by first term

\frac{4}{-16} =\frac{-1}{4}

\frac{-1}{4} =\frac{-1}{4}

So common ratio is -1/4

Recursive formula is

A_n= A_{n-1} (r)

'r' is the common ratio.

Recursive formula becomes

A_n= A_{n-1} (\frac{-1}{4})

26 out of the 65 magazines at the bookstore are women's magazines. What percentage of the magazines at the bookstore are women's
egoroff_w [7]

The fraction \frac{26}{64} represents the number of women's magazines out of all the other magazines at the book store.

To find what percent of the magazines are women's magazines, we can turn \frac{26}{64} into a percent.

To write a fraction as a percent in lowest terms, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100 so to write 26/64 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 26/64 with 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

40% is the answer

A rectangular lap pool measures 80 feet long by 20 feet wide if it needs to be filled to 48 and each cubic foot hose 7.5 gallons
zmey [24]

Answer: it will take 576000 gallons to fill the lap pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of water in the rectangular pool is expressed as

Volume = length × width × height

The rectangular lap pool measures 80 feet long by 20 feet wide if it needs to be filled to 48. It means that the volume of water that would be pumped inside the pool is

Volume = 80 × 20 × 48 = 76800 cubic feet

1 cubic foot = 7.5 gallons

76800 cubic feet = 76800 × 7.5 = 576000 gallons

How can i learn times faster like 3's til 12's in Times i have a hard time in my times can someone tell me how i can learn them
iogann1982 [59]
To get better at 12's:
Write down on your paper your 1's facts in column skip 5 and 11 going to 14 (a vertical line - line that goes up and down). To the right of that column, write your two's facts 0 to 8 and repeat again. Then you will have your 12's! Should look as follows

12's:

0    0 = 12 x0
1    2 = 12 x1
2    4 = 12 x2
3    6 = 12 x3
4    8 = 12 x4
6    0 = 12 x5
7    2 = 12 x6
8    4 = 12 x7
9    6 = 12 x8
10  8 = 12 x9
12  0 = 12 x10
13  2 = 12 x 11
14  4 = 12 x 12
