Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio,r. Considering the given sequence,

r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3

Therefore, the sequence is geometric.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = - 2

r = - 3

The explicit formula is

Tn = - 2 × (- 3)^(n - 1)

To find the 8th term, T8,

T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^(8 - 1)

T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^7

T8 = - 2 × - 2187

T8 = 4374

Which of the following is an equivalent expression to 42 + 90? A. 6(7 + 14) B. 6 (7+ 15) C. 7 (6 + 12) D. 6(36+ 84) I WILL GIVE
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The equivalent expression to the given expression is the option B;

B. 6(7 + 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is 42 + 90,

We note that an equivalent expression, is one that can be substituted by the original expression or one with equivalent value.

Therefore, we have, for the first expression;

A. 6 × (7 + 14) = 6 × 23 = 138

For the second option, we have;

B. 6 × (7 + 15) = 6 × 22 = 132

For the third option, we have;

C. 7 × (6 + 12) = 7 × 18 = 126

For the third option, we have;

D. 6 × (36 + 84) = 6 × 120 = 720

Also we note that the value of the given expression is 42 + 90 = 132, therefore, the equivalent expression to the given expression is option B. 6(7 + 15).

What is (½)3. ???????
Karolina [17]
It is hard to tell your precise intention. Choose the appropriate interpretation.

\frac{1}{2} \times 3 = \frac{1 \times 3}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}

(\frac{1}{2})^{3} = \frac{1^{3}}{2^{3}} = \frac{1}{8}
