you have to multiply by -3

so the answers are going to be one negative one positive

and the next 5th terms are 108,-324,972,-2916,8748

12 / -4 = -3, also -36 / 12 = -3.

So the sequence goes:

-4, -4(-3), -4(-3)(-3), ... or -4, -4(-3), -4(-3)^2...

So the recursive formula to find any term would be -4(-3)^n, where n = 0 for the first term.

So for the 5th term, n = 4 and so:
-4(-3)^4 = -324.

You can check as it would be -36 * -3 * -3 = -36*9 = -324.

What is the percent of change from 60 to 87?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

45% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The new number (87) is bigger than the original number (60), so this is a percent increase.

To find the percent of change, which in this case is a percent increase, take the change amount and divide by the original, then convert to a percent.

Subtract to find the change.

87 - 60 is 27.

27 is the amount of change.

change/original

= 27/60

= .45

Times by 100 to change to a percent.

.45 × 100

= 45%

2 + 3 × (8 + 53 ÷ 1)<br><br> Can please include the working to it. Thank you,
luda_lava [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 3 × (8 + 53 ÷ 1)

we first work out the equation in the brackets

so...

(8 + 53 ÷ 1)

division comes first so we divide 53÷1 which is 1 so the equation looks like this:

(8+53)

we work this out and get

61

then we work the rest out

2 + 3 × <u>61</u>

multiplication comes first so...

3×61= 183

and

2+ 183= 185

Therefore 2 + 3 × (8 + 53 ÷ 1)= <u>185</u>

Hope this helped- have a good day bro cya)

Lines m and n are parallel. find the value of x.<br> A. 15<br> B. 20<br> C. 65<br> D. 115
torisob [31]

Answer:

Option B, x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Make an equation</u>

The values of 65 degrees and (3x + 5) are equal.

65 = 3x + 5

<u>Step 2:  Subtract 5 from both sides</u>

65 - 5 = 3x + 5 - 5

60 = 3x

<u>Step 3:  Divide both sides by 3</u>

60 / 3 = 3x / 3

<em>20 = x</em>

<em />

Answer:  Option B, x = 20
