Answer: 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given formula tells us that the next term f(n+1) of the sequence is -0.5 times the previous term f(n)

First term of the sequence is f(1) = 120

Second term of the sequence is f(2) = f(1+1) = -0.5 f(1) = -0.5 (120) = -60

Third term of the sequence is f(3) = f(2+1) = -0.5 f(2) = -0.5 (-60) = 30

Fourth term of the sequence is f(4) = f(3+1) = -0.5 f(3) = -0.5 (30) = -15

Fifth term of the sequence is f(5) = f(4+1) = -0.5 f(4) = -0.5 (-15) = <em>7.5</em>

The difference of two rational numbers is always negative true of false

Comparing two rational numbers

Use fraction form:

 

Make the denominators the same and compare the numerators. The number with the smaller numerator is smaller. For example, to compare a/b and c/d, we rewrite

 

a/b=a*d/b*d

  = ad/bd and c/d = c*b/d*b=bc/bd

 

Now just compare the numerators : "ad" and "bc"

 

Multiplying and Dividing Rational Numbers 

 

Multiplying and dividing rational numbers in decimal form is the same as multiplying and dividing integers. The decimal place of the product is the same of all decimals of all multiplied numbers. For example, 3.12*2.4.

 

Solution => 3.12*2.4=7.488

 

When multiplying or dividing rational numbers in fractional form, you multiply the numerators (N*N) and then multiply the denominators (D*D).

 

When dividing rational numbers in fractional form, first take the reciprocal of the divisor, and then multiply the numerators and the denominators.

 

Example => 5/9 divided by 2/7 .

 

Solution => 5/9 * 7/2 =  35/18

 

 

Adding Rational numbers

 

Adding and Subtracting rational numbers in decimal form is the same as adding and subtracting integers.

 

Example => -3.54+2.79=-0.75

 

When adding or subtracting rational numbers in fractional form, first make the denominator equal, and then add or subtract the numerators.  

The difference can be negative or positive.
