Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number.
Here we are give the initial term so we have to solve to solve for the common ratio...
a(5)=-1280 and a(1)=-5 so
-1280=-5r^(5-1)
-1280=-5r^4
256=r^4
256^(1/4)=r
4=r, so our sequence is:
a(n)=-5(4^(n-1)), so the 7th term is:
a(7)=-5(4^6)
a(7)= -20480
Answer:
B) x = 2, y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the two equations to eliminate the x-variable.
(x +3y) +(-x +6y) = (5) +(4)
9y = 9 . . . . . . .simplify
y = 1 . . . . . . . . divide by 9
You can substitute this value into either equation to find x.
x + 3(1) = 5
x = 2 . . . . . . . . subtract 3
The solution is (x, y) = (2, 1).
Answer:
I think the answer would be C.)
Width= w
length= (3w-8)
2w+2(3w-8)= 96
2w + 6w -16= 96
8w= 112
8w/8= 112/8
w= 14
width= 14 feet
length= 34 feet
so the dimensions are 14x34 feet
