This is an example of a geometric sequence.  To find for the nth term, we use the formula:

an = a1 r^(n – 1)               ---> 1

Where:

a1= 1st term of the sequence = -a

r = common ratio

To find for the common ratio r, we divide the 2nd term with the 1st term (we can also divide the 3rd term with the 2nd term; we can use any 2 terms as long as they are in succession.)

r = a^2 / -a

r = -a

Substituting a1 and r in equation 1:

an = -a (-a)^(n-1)

Therefore the answer:<span> <span>B) -a(-a)n-1</span></span>

Sidana [21]
Since there are 22 participants all in all. The possible combinations of the two picked for practice first is, 
                               22C2 = 231
The probability of picking one from each gender will be solved through the calculation below.
                              (10C1)x(12C1) / 231 = 40/77
In percentage, the answer would be approximately 52%. Thus, the answer is the first choice.

Y=2x+5 and y=3x+11 solve by substitution.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Answer: x= -6 and y= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute 2x+5 for y in y=3x+11:

y=3x+11

2x+5=3x+11

2x+5+−3x=3x+11+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)

−x+5=11

−x+5+−5=11+−5(Add -5 to both sides)

−x=6

−x−1=6−1(Divide both sides by -1)

x=−6

Step: Substitute −6 for x in y=2x+5:

y=2x+5

y=(2)(−6)+5

y=−7(Simplify both sides of the equation)
