Answer:

an = 4 • -1^n

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute in the value of n to find the n th term.

a 2 = 4 ⋅ ( − 1 2 ) One to any power is one. a 2 = 4 ⋅ ( − 1 ⋅ 1 )

Multiply − 1 by 1 .

a 2 = 4 ⋅ − 1

Multiply 4 by − 1 .

a 2 = − 4

-1 x 4= -4

-4 x 4= -16

-16 x 4= -64

-64 x 4= -256

-256 x 4= -1024

-1024 x 4= -4096

-4096 x 4= -16384

-16384 x 4= -65536

How many 1 1/2 liter bottles of water does it take to fill a 16 liter jug

timurjin [86]

11 bottles are needed to fill a 16 liter jug

Solution:

Given that, there is a 16 liter jug

There are $1\frac{1}{2}$ liters of bottle

Let us first convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator.

$\rightarrow 1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 1 + 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$

Thus the bottle is of 1.5 liter

We have to find the number of 1.5 liter bottles needed to fill 16 liter jug

Divide 16 by 1.5 to get result

$Number\ Of\ Bottles = \frac{16}{1.5} = 10.67 \approx11$

Thus 11 bottles are needed to fill a 16 liter jug

What is the area of this figure?

nalin [4]

Answer:

290.5 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider splitting this figure into two mini rectangles and a triangle, each of given lengths;

$Dimensions of Rectangle 1 - Height ; 5 mi, Length ; 7 mi,\\Area of Rectangle 1 - Height * Length = 5 mi * 7 mi = 35 mi^2\\\\Dimensions of Rectangle 2 - Height ; 18 mi, Length ; 8 mi,\\Area of Rectangle 2 - Height * Length = 23 mi * 8 mi = 184 mi^2\\\\Dimensions of Mini Right Triangle - Height ; 11 mi, Base ; 8 + 5 = 13 mi,\\Area of Mini Right Triangle - 1 / 2 * Base * Height = 1 / 2 * 13 mi * 11 mi = 71.5 mi^2,\\\\Area of Figure = 35 mi^2 + 184 mi^2 + 71.5 mi^2 = 290.5 square miles$

Solution; 290.5 square miles

Someone please help me with this geometry question

marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x + 12 + (-8x + 48) = 180

-15x + 60 = 180

-15x = 120

x = -8

m<BDC= -7(-8)+ 12 = 56 + 12 = 68

m<CBA = -8(-8)+48 = 64+48 = 112
