<h3>Answer:</h3>

a_n=4(-2)^{n-1}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The common ratio is -8/4 = -2. The general formula for the n-th term is ...

... an = a1·r^(n-1) . . . . . . note the use of the caret (^) and parentheses

For r = -2 and a1 = 4, this becomes ...

... an = 4·(-2)^(n-1) . . . . approximately matches the 2nd selection

Is this for area and perimeter? If so, first make the fraction a decimal, (that would be 3.5). Then, for permeter, add 3.5 + 3.5 + 9 + 9, which is 25, for area, multiply 3.5 by 9, which is 31.5. Hope this helped!

Nikki used the calculations shown to determine whether a carton of 12 eggs or a carton of 18 eggs was the better buy. A carton o
Lemur [1.5K]

Given :

A carton of 12 eggs or a carton of 18 eggs was the better buy. A carton of 12 eggs cost $2.39, and a carton of 18 eggs cost $3.39. Unit price of the 12-egg carton = ($2.39)(12 eggs) = $28.68 per egg Unit price of the 18-egg carton = ($3.39)(18 eggs) = $61.02 per egg The 12-egg carton has the lower unit cost, so it is the better buy.

To Find :

What was her first error.

Solution :

Her first error is to find Unit price of egg in each carton.

To find, unit price we should divide total amount by number of units :

Unit price for carton of 12 eggs, $ (2.39)/12 = $0.199 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
