Your sequence
  -8, 16/3, -32/9, 64/27
is a geometric sequence with first term -8 and common ratio
  (16/3)/(-8) = (-32/9)/(16/3) = -2/3

The general term an of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and ratio r is given by
  an = a1·r^(n-1)
For your sequence, this is
  an = -8·(-2/3)^(n-1)

Does it matter what order you add the numbers in a problem? explain how chips and numbers lines support your answer.
Mrac [35]

Answer: No, it does not matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In addition the order does not matter, this is because of the commutative property of the addition, that says that: A + B = B + A

and the associative property, that says that:

A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C

for example, if you have 4 chips and your friend gives you her 5 chips, now you have a total of 4 + 5 =  9 chips.

The case is the same if you have 5 chips and your friend gives you 4 chips, now you have 5 + 4 = 9 chips.

Other example is that:

5 chips + ( 2chips + 1 chip) = 5 chips + 3 chips = 8 chips

(5 chips + 2 chips) + 1 chip = 7 chips + 1 chip = 8 chips

You can see that the order does not matter.
