Amar's age = a
sister is a - 5
add both = 39
a + (a - 5) = 39
2a - 5 = 39
2a = 44
a = 22 and sister is 17

Write the explicit formula that represents the geometric sequence -2, 8, -32, 128
MissTica
So hmm the first term is -2

and if we divide one term by the term before it, we'd get the "common ratio" "r"

so hmm say -32/8 that gives us -4, so r = -4

thus \bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a_1=\textit{first term}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=-2\\
r=-4
\end{cases}\implies a_n=-2(-4)^{n-1}

In London today, four times the high temperature was more than twice the high temperature plus
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Let's define the high temperature as T.

We know that:

"four times T, was more than 2*T plus 66°C"

(i assume that the temperature is in °C)

We can write this inequality as:

4*T > 2*T + 66°C

Now we just need to solve this for T.

subtracting 2*T in both sides, we get:

4*T - 2*T > 2*T + 66°C - 2*T

2*T > 66°C

Now we can divide both sides by 2:

2*T/2 > 66°C/2

T > 33°C

So T was larger than 33°C

Notice that T = 33°C is not a solution of the inequality, then we should use the symbol ( for the set notation.

Then the range of possible temperatures is:

(33°C, ...)

Where we do not have an upper limit, so we could write this as:

(33°C, ∞°C)

(ignoring the fact that ∞°C is something impossible because it means infinite energy, but for the given problem it works)
