atio of -2?
Mathematics
1 answer:
Elza [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

first term a= 2

last term tn= 32

common ratio r= -2

number of terms

= tn=ar^n-1

32 = 2*(-2)^n-1

divide both sides by 2

32/2 = 2*(-2)^n-1/2

16 = (-2)^n-1

Then...use 16 in the power of 2

(-2)^4 = (-2)^n-1

The bases (-2), cancels out

so we have: 4 = n-1

collect like terms

4-1 = n

3 = n

n= 3

the perimeter of a rectangle is 60 meters. if the length of the rectangle is 14 meters. what is the width of the rectangle.,
Ray Of Light [21]
Perimeter is 2width+2length
Therefore since you already know that the perimeter is 60 and the length is 14 you can set up the equation; 
60= 2w+14
with this you then need to find w so;
60=2w+14
-14     -14
46=2w
(46/2)=(2w/2)
13=w
The width is 13

You order from a catalog the following office supplies: 10 boxes of paper, each box is 6 pounds and 36 boxes of pens, each box w
babymother [125]

$40.50 10 boxes at 6lbs = 60lbs

             36 boxes at 12 ounces = 432 ounces dived by 16(16 oz in a lbs)= 27 lbs

             60 lbs plus 27 lbs = 87 lbs total weight

 87lbs - 20lbs($12)= 67lbs - 30 lbs($10)= 37lbs x .50($.50 per pound)= $18.50

$12+$10+$18.50= $40.50
