Given the following geometric sequence, find the 12th term: {2, -4, 8, ...}.
1 answer:
2 times what = -4?
-2 does
-2 x 2 = -4
-4 time what = 8?
Again, -2.
-2 x -4 = 8
You could do this over and over again or make a table, or you can make a function.
f(n) = f(1) • r
f(1) in this case is 2.
f(n) = 2 • r
r is rate of change, which is -2.
f(n) = 2 • -2
To find the 12th number in the sequence, just substitute n for 12.
f(12) = 2 • -2
f(12) = 2 • -2
-2^11 = -2048
2 x -2048 = -4096
So the 12th number in the sequence will be -4096.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a). Total surface area of cylinder is defined by sum of curved surface area and surface area of the top and bottom.
Total surface area = 2πrh + 2πr²
Skateboarders use a half pipe structure which are not closed at the ends.
Therefore, curved surface of the half pipe =
= πrh
b). If r = 2.5 m and h = 9 m,
Curved surface area of the half pipe = π(2.5)(9)
= 70.69 m²
≈ 71 m²
