This is a geometric sequence because each term is a constant multiple, called the common ratio, of the previous term. In this case the common ratio, noted as "r", is:
8/-2=-32/8=128/-32=r=-4
The first term is -2
Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number.
Since we know r and a for this problem already we can say:
a(n)=-2(-4)^(n-1)
Answer:
-68 is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember to follow PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
First, solve each parenthesis
(-21 x 3) = -63
(15/-3) = -5
Next, add
(-63) + (-5) = -63 - 5 = -68
-68 is your answer

Answer:
6 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
divide by 3 on both sides
18 ÷ 3 = 6
3 ÷ 3 = 1
6:1
Yes it dosent matter how many zeros are after the 2
Answer:
P = - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
P+7-5 = -10 - 3
P +2 = - 13
(If taking from one side,you must do to the other to get P alone.)
P+2 = - 13
-2 = - 2
The positive 2, minus the negative 2 cancels each other out, now we must subtract 2 from our other side. - 13 - 2 = - 15
P = -15
