Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We first have to write the equation for the sequence, then finding the first five terms will be easy. Follow the formatting:
and we are given enough info to fill in:
and
and
or in linear format:
where n is the position of the number in the sequence. We already know the first term is -35.
The second term:
so
and
The third term:
and
so
and we could go on like this forever, but the nice thing about this is when we know the difference all we have to do is add it to each number to get to the next number.
That means that the fourth term will be -27 + 4 which is -23.
The fifth term then will be -23 + 4 which is -19. You can check yourself by filling in a 5 for n in the equation and solving:
and
so
2/8 and 4/16 are equivalent to 1/4
In order to solve this problem, you need to use a geometric series:
where:
a₁ = first term of the series = 36000
r = common rate = 10% raise, therefore 1.10
n = number of terms = 5

Answer:
u(12-v)
Step-by-step explanation:
12u and -uv both have a factor of <em>u </em>in common, so we can pull it out to give us the factored expression u(12-v).
<em>Note on factoring:</em>
<em>Remember, it's just using the distributive property in reverse! We can get our original expression back by distributing the u to the 12 and the -v.</em>
