Let's see what to do...

_________________________________

Step (1)

Look : 16 , 10 , 4 , ...

It is an arithmetic sequence.

So first we have to find the value of the ratio(( d )) .

To do this, we need to subtract each sentence minus the previous sentence.

So we have : 10 - 16 = - 6

_________________________________

Step (2)

To find the nth sentence in an arithmetic sequence, we must use the following equation :

$t(n) = t(1) + (n - 1)d$

_________________________________

Step (3)

To find the 6th term just need to put the following parameters in the above sequence.

t(1) = 16 ------ n = 6 ------ d = -6

$t(6) = 16 + (6 - 1)( - 6)$

$t(6) = 16 + (5)( - 6)$

$t(6) = 16 + ( - 30)$

$t(6) = 16 - 30$

$t(6) = - 14$

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.

Perform the following operation

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

When you multiply an odd number of negatives you get a negative result. When you multiply an even number of negatives you get a positive result.

First, multiply normally.

25x10x5

1100

Then determine whether the sign is positive or negative. Since there is an odd number of negatives, the sign is negative.

So, the answer is -1100.

Find the area of a circle with a Radius = 4 ft. Use 3.14 for and round to 2 decimal places.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

50.24 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well formula for area of a circle is pi(radius)^2

so the radius is 4 so you square that it’ll be 16

then do 16(3.14)

you’ll get 50.24

The area of a rectangular ceiling tile is 756 square inches. The perimeter is 114 inches. What are the dimensions of the tile?

kogti [31]

Here we need to use what we know about rectangles to make a system of equations.

By solving that system we found that the tile has a length of 36 inches and a width of 21 inches.

Remember that for a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is:

P = 2*(L + W)

And the area is:

A = W*L

Here we know that the perimeter is 114 inches, then we can write:

114in = 2*(L + W)

We also know that the area is 756 in^2, then we can write:

756 in^2 = L*W

So we found two equations, which means that we have a system of two equations with two variables:

114in = 2*(L + W)

756 in^2 = L*W

To solve this, the first step is to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, we can isolate L in the first equation:

114in = 2*(L + W)

114in/2 = (L + W)

57in = L + W

57in - W = L

Now that we have an expression equivalent to L, we can replace it in the other equation to get:

756 in^2 = L*W

756 in^2 = (57in - W)*W

Now we can solve this for W.

756 in^2 = W*57in - W^2

W^2 - W*57in + 756 in^2 = 0

The solutions are given by the Bhaskara's formula:

$W = \frac{57in \pm \sqrt{(-57in)^2 - 4*1*(756in^2)} }{2*1} = \frac{57in \pm 15in}{2}$

Then the two possible values of the width will be:

W = (57in + 15in)/2 = 36 in

W = (57in - 15in)/2 = 21 in

Suppose that we choose the second solution, W = 21in

Now using the equation 57in - W = L we can find the value of L

L = 57in - W = 57in - 21in = 36in

L = 36in

Then we found that the tile has a length of 36 inches and a width of 21 inches.
