Answer:  The correct option is (D) 196608.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the 9th term of the following sequence :

3,    -12,    48,    -192,    .    .    .

Let a(n) denote the n-th term of the given sequence.

Then, a(1) = 3,  a(2) = -12,  a(3) = 48,  a(4) = -192,   .   .   .

We see that

\dfrac{a(2)}{a(1)}=\dfrac{-12}{3}=-4,\\\\\\\dfrac{a(3)}{a(2)}=\dfrac{48}{-12}=-4,\\\\\\\dfrac{a(4)}{a(3)}=\dfrac{-192}{48}=-4,~~.~~.~~.

So, we get

\dfrac{a(2)}{a(1)}=\dfrac{a(3)}{a(2)}=\dfrac{a(4)}{a(3)}=~~.~~.~~.~~=-4.

That is, the given sequence is a GEOMETRIC one with first term a = 3  and common ratio d= -4.

We know that

the n-th term of an geometric  sequence with first term a and common ratio r is given by

a(n)=ar^{n-1}.

Therefore, the 9th term of the given sequence is

a(9)=ar^{9-1}=3\times(-4)^8=3\times 65536=196608.

Thus, the 9th term of the given sequence is 196608.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

Suppose that f(x) is an EVEN function and let the integral f(x) dx from 0 to 1=5 and the integral f(x) dx from 0 to 7 =1. What i
Cerrena [4.2K]
<span>Since it's even, the integral from -7 to -1 is the same as the integral from 1 to 7.
</span><span>think about
x^2 from 0..1,its 1/3
from 0..7 its 7^3/3
from -1..7 its 7^3/3+1/3
</span>
<span>from -7..-1 of x^2 its -1/3+7^3/3 to get this without integrating we just do 7^3/3-1/3 which is the integral from 0..7 minus the integral from 0..1
</span><span>So the integral from 1 to 0 f(x) dx = 5 changes to the integral from 0 to 1 f(x) dx = -5 and you add it to the integral from 0 to 7 which is 1 making -4</span>

dedylja [7]

Answer:

250 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shorter side is along the street and the setback is 10ft from each side, the house is 50 ft wide

and 100 -20 -30 = 50 ft long

50 x 50 = 250 sq ft
