Answer: C
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the first term (a₁)
a₁ = x
a₂ = x(-√2) = -x√2
a₃ = -x√2(-√2) = 2x
a₄ = 2x(-√2) = -2x√2
a₅ = -2x√2(-√2) = 4x
Since it is given the a₅ = √2, then we can solve: 4x =√2
Divide both sides by 4 to get: x = 
this can also be written as: 
Answer:
64.94
Explanation
You arrange the numbers in such a way, to be in line with their decimal points like this:
70.7
-5.76
Then you subtract. Notice that on top of the 6 is nothing which is equal to 0
Subtract 5x from both sides, 7x+2=-26, subtract 2 from both sides, 7x=-28, divide both sides by 7, x=-4
16 of the students are sick. How I got this was, divide 48 by 3 and you get 16 therefore 1/3 of 48 is 16.
