Answer:
a14 = -40,960
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence has a first term of 5 and a common ratio of -10/5 = -2, so the n-th term is given by ...
an = a1·r^(n-1)
an = 5·(-2)^(n-1)
The 14th term is then ...
a14 = 5·(-2)^(14-1) = -5·2^13 = -5·8192
a14 = -40,960
Answer:
Half of each day is taken up by sleeping and eating.
Step-by-step explanation:
This should be easy because we just have to use substitution method. Substitute the value of x from the second equation into the x of the first equation.
-4(2y) + 11y = 15
-8y + 11y = 15
3y = 15 ; y = 5
Substitute this value of y to either the first or second equation.
x = 2(5) = 10
The ordered pair is therefore (10,5).
