The next term in the series is 5 1/3.

The geometric ratio is 2/3. To find r you when to divide f(2) by f(1) and then you get 2/3. Then you use a formula called the explicit rule which is f(n)=f(1) • r^n-1.

Plug in the numbers. f(5)=-27•(2/3)^4

Then you get 5 1/3.

Answer:

We have - 18 / - 27 = 2 / 3;

- 12 / - 18 = 2 / 3;

-8 / - 12 = 2 / 3;

Then, x / - 8 = 2 / 3 ;

Finally, x = - 16 / 3;

The next terms in that series is - 16 / 3 .

Which of the following stanements shows the inverse property of addition?

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$0\cdot \:y+\left(-0\cdot \:y\right)=0$ the statement shows the inverse property of addition as the sum of a number and its inverse is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that Inverse Property of Addition states if you add any number to its opposite, the result will be zero.

For example, 13 + (-13) = 0 shows that -13 is the additive inverse of 13.

In other words, the sum of a number and its inverse is zero.

Now checking from the available options,

$0y+\left(-0y\right)$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=0\cdot \:y-0\cdot \:y$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:0\cdot \:y-0\cdot \:y=0$

$=0$

Thus,

$0\cdot \:y+\left(-0\cdot \:y\right)=0$

Therefore, $0\cdot \:y+\left(-0\cdot \:y\right)=0$ the statement shows the inverse property of addition as the sum of a number and its inverse is zero.
