Answer:

The 8th term of geometric sequence is -8748

ie., a_{8}=-8748

Step-by-step explanation:

Given geometric sequence is 4,-12,36,...

Geometric sequence can be written as

a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},..,

a_{1}=4=a

a_{2}=-12=ar

a_{3}=36=ar^2

and so on.

common ratio is r=\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}

r=\frac{-12}{4}

r=-3

r=\frac{a_{3}}{a_{2}}

r=\frac{36}{-12}

r=-3

Therefore r=-3

Geometric sequence of nth term is a_{n}=ar^{n-1}

To find the 8th term:

a_{8}=ar^{8-1}

a_{8}=ar^{7}

here a=4 and r=-3

a_{8}=ar^{7}

=4\times (-3)^7

=4\times (-2187)

=-8748

a_{8}=-8748

Therefore the 8th term of geometric sequence is -8748

Mr. Green is putting lights around 8 windows; each window is 3.5feet wide and 5 feet long. How many feet of light does he need?
zmey [24]
We must find the perimeter of all eight windows. To make it simpler for us, let's find the perimeter of one window and multiply it by 8.

2*3.5 + 2*5 = 7 + 10 = 17

17*8 = 136

Hope this helps!

What is the sum of 52 and its additive inverse?
Lisa [10]
Hello there!

The additive inverse of any number just means to flip it's value.

For example;

The number "3" would have an additive inverse of "-3".
The number "-15" would have an additive inverse of "15".

Since we have "52", we can flip the value sign of it.
We now have -52 and 52.

Since the question asked us to sum our numbers, we need to add them.

-52 + 52 = 0

The sum of 52 and its additive inverse is 0. 

 I hope this helps!
