Answer: 6, -30, 150, -750 and 3750.

Step-by-step explanation:

First term= 6

Second term= ar = 6×(-5)= -30

Third term= ar^2 = 6×(-5)(-5) = 150

Forth term= ar^3 = 6×(-5)^3 = -750

Fifth term= ar^4 = 6×(-5)^4 = 3750

Answer: 6,-30,150,-750,3750

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric progression formula is

An=a1r^(n-1)

An= nth term

A1= first term

R= common ratio

N= nth position

A1=6

R=-5

We already know the first term,looking for 2nd 3rd 4th & 5th

A2=a1r^(n-1)

A2=6×(-5^(2-1))

A2=6×(-5^1)

A2=6×-5

A2= -30

A3=a1r^(n-1)

A3=6×(-5^(3-1))

A3=6×(-5^(2))

A3=6×(25)

A3= 150

A4=a1r^(n-1)

A4=6×(-5^(4-1))

A4=6×(-5^3)

A4=6×-125

A4= -750

A5=a1r^(n-1)

A5=6×(-5^(5-1))

A5=6×(-5^(4))

A5=6×(625)

A5=3750

The first 5 numbers are

6,-30,150,-750,3750

By understanding and applying the characteristics of <em>piecewise</em> functions, the results are listed below:

  1. r (- 3) = 15
  2. r (- 1) = 11
  3. r (1) = - 7
  4. r (5) = 13

<h3>How to evaluate a piecewise function at given values</h3>

In this question we have a <em>piecewise</em> function formed by three expressions associated with three respective intervals. We need to evaluate the expression at a value of the <em>respective</em> interval:

<h3>r(- 3): </h3>

-3 ∈ (- ∞, -1]

r(- 3) = - 2 · (- 3) + 9

r (- 3) = 15

<h3>r(- 1):</h3>

-1 ∈ (- ∞, -1]

r(- 1) = - 2 · (- 1) + 9

r (- 1) = 11

<h3>r(1):</h3>

1 ∈ (-1, 5)

r(1) = 2 · 1² - 4 · 1 - 5

r (1) = - 7

<h3>r(5):</h3>

5 ∈ [5, + ∞)

r(5) = 4 · 5 - 7

r (5) = 13

By understanding and applying the characteristics of <em>piecewise</em> functions, the results are listed below:

  1. r (- 3) = 15
  2. r (- 1) = 11
  3. r (1) = - 7
  4. r (5) = 13

1) Find the value of two numbers if their sum is 12 and their difference is 4.
Ivahew [28]

Numbers are 4 and 8

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Let the numbers be x and y. Given that their sum is 12 and difference is 4. Form equations for this data.

⇒ x + y = 12 ------ (1)

⇒ x - y = 4 -------- (2)

Subtract eq (2) from (1)

⇒ 2x = 8

⇒ x = 4

Step 2:

Find y.

⇒ y = 12 - x = 12 - 4 = 8
