Answer:  5) r = 5, 8th term = -78,125

               6) r = 5, 8th term = -312,500

               7) r = 5, {1, 5, 25, 125, 625}

               8) r = 5, {-4, -20, -100, -500, -2500}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is: a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}, where;

  • n is the number of the term
  • a₁ is the first term
  • r is the common ratio

5)\ a_n=-5^{n-1}\\.\qquad =-1\cdot 5^{n-1}\quad \rightarrow \quad a_1=-1\ and\ r=5\\\\a_8=-5^{8-1}\\.\quad =-5^7\\.\quad =-78,125\\\\\\6)\ a_n=-4\cdot 5^{n-1}\quad \rightarrow \quad a_1=-4\ and\ r=5\\\\a_8=-4\cdot 5^{8-1}\\.\quad =-4\cdot 78,125\\.\quad =-312,500

7)\ a_1=1\ and\ r=5\\.\quad a_2=1\cdot 5=\boxed{5}\\.\quad a_3=5\cdot 5=\boxed{25}\\.\quad a_4=25\cdot 5=\boxed{125}\\.\quad a_5=125\cdot 5=\boxed{625}\\\\\\\\8)\ a_1=-4\ and\ r=5\\.\quad a_2=-4\cdot 5=\boxed{-20}\\.\quad a_3=-20\cdot 5=\boxed{-100}\\.\quad a_4=-100\cdot 5=\boxed{-500}\\.\quad a_5=-500\cdot 5=\boxed{-2500}\\\\\\

4. The length of a rectangle is 4 more than its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 60cm.
sergey [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

let width = w

if width = w, then length = w + 4

Therefore the perimeter is 2w + 2(w+4)

2w + 2(w+4) = 4w + 8

perimeter = 60cm

4w + 8 = 60

<em>-8</em>

4w       = 52

<em>divide each side by 4</em>

w = 13

length = w+4

therefore, length = 17

How do you find the base area of a rectangular prism and a cylinder? Please help
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 'base' of a rectangular prism refers to only one side of the rectangular prism, which is a rectangle.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is as follows:

A=lw

Where A = area, l = length, and w = width.

The 'base' of a cylinder refers to only one side of the cylinder, which is a circle.

The formula for the area of a circle is as follows:

A=\pi r^2

Where A = area and r = radius.

Just in case you typed your question incorrectly and were asking for surface area, here is the formula for surface area for both as well:

Rectangular prism: A=2(wl+hl+hw)\\

Cylinder: A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^{2}
