In two or more complete sentences, explain whether the sequence is finite or infinite. Describe the pattern in the sequence if i

t exists, and if possible find the sixth term.
2a, 2a^(2)b, 2a^(3)b^(2), 2a^(4)b^(3). . .

This is a geometric sequence as each term is a constant ratio of the previous term, called the common ratio...

2a^2b/2a=(2a^3b^2)/(2a^2b)=ab and the first term is 2a

So the rule is:

a(n)=2a(ab)^(n-1)

a(6)=2a(ab)^5=2a^6(b^5)

We cannot know for sure if this series is infinite or not.  It would depend on what the values of a and b were.

If EITHER a^2 or b^2 is less than one the series would be finite (and technically a sequence and not a series),and a sum could be found.  If a^2 AND b^2 are greater than one it is an infinite series whos sum diverges....

The sequence is infinite  because  the exponents   2 ,3 ,4 ,... go on infinitely.

That next number in the equence is obtained by multiplying each term by ab.

the sixth term is   2a^(6)b^(5)

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (−2x + 8y)(9x − 3y).
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
For these kinds of expressions use FOIL (first, outside, inside, last).

-2x • 9x = -18x^2
-2x • -3y = 6xy
8y • 9x = 72 xy
8y • -3y = -24y^2

Now combine them all:

-18x^2 + 78xy - 24y^2

You can only draw one unique isosceles triangle that contains an angle of 55°?
blsea [12.9K]

-- If the 55° angle is one of the two equal angles, then
the third angle is 70° .

-- If the 55° angle is the third angle, then each of the two
equal angles is 62.5° .

-- For either of these cases, there are an infinite number
of possible sets of side-lengths.

The statement in the question does not hold water.
