Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Each term of this Geometric Series (3, −6, 12, −24, ...) can also be found through this explicit formula:
Because the
term is found by the product of its common ratio "q", times its predecessor n-1. Where n, refers to the order of the term.
So let's test it, suppose we want to find the 4th term. We know the common ratio and the first term. Then we can write f(n) as:

f(4)=f(3)*-2⇒-24=12*-2⇒-24=-24
The explicit formula is ok.
Answer:
9. 7/2
10. -6

Answer:
15 blocks
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the right triangle
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
12^2 + 9^2 = h^2
144+81 = h^2
225= h^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(225) = sqrt(h^2)
15 = h
Quantity of paint left =
gallons
Solution:
Quantity of yellow paint =
gallons
Quantity of green paint =
gallons
Quantity of blue paint =
gallons
Quantity of paint used =
gallons of each paint
Quantity of paint left =
gallons of each paint
Quantity of paint left = 
Taking LCM for 5, 6, 8, we get LCM = 120



Hence, Mark will have
gallons of paint left after painting the mural.
