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.

Answer:

S = 2π(4)^2 + 2π(4)(16)

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cylinder can be found using this equation: 2(πr^2) + 2(πrh). Therefore the answer would be the first one: S = 2π(4)^2 + 2π(4)(16)

Write an expression for the calculation the difference of the products of 5 and 2 and 5 and 1
oee [108]
Let's review the terminology.  A product is what you get when you multiply two numbers.  So, the product of 5 and 2 is basically "5*2," and the product of 5 and 1 is "5*1."

The difference means when you subtract one from the other.  So, the difference of 5*2 and 5*1 means "(5*2)-(5*1)".  (Note: I put in parentheses to make sure the reader understands that 5*2 is separate from 5*1.  5*2-5*1 is confusing: you might not know what to do first!)

So, "(5*2)-(5*1)" can be your answer, OR you can simplify it further by actually doing the multiplication: "10-5".  If you want the answer, just subtract--the expression is equal to 5.

Answer: "<span>(5*2)-(5*1)" OR "10-5" OR "5"</span>
