Hi, not sure if I’m absolutely correct but it should be 10 pounds
The length is 30 meters and the width is 12 meters.
Remark
What you have to do to learn the difference between recursive and explicit is try try the first 3 or 4 terms to see what you have and how you did it.
a1 = - 3
a2 = - 3 (1/8) = -3 / 8
a3 = (a2) (1/8)
a3 = (-3/8) * 1/8
a3 = (- 3/64)
a4 = a3 (1/8)
a4 = -3/64 * 1/8
a4 = - 3 / 512
Take a good look at a4. What do you notice? No matter what, you are always multiplying by 1/8. That means that A and D are both wrong which they would have you raising by 3 or - 3 to some power.
So which one of B and C is correct?
The answer is which ever one will not change sign from what it started out with. All four terms are minus.
In B the term is multiplied by plus 1/8. That will not change the sign of the next term.
So the answer is
a_n = - 3 * (1/8)^(n - 1) <<<<< answer
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1/6 also is 2/12. So, there is 9/12 of the pasta left.
