Answer:
-17
Step-by-step explanation:
- 5 * (6 + 4) ÷ 2
Following PEMDAS, we must focus on the parenthesis first.
- 5 * (6 + 4) ÷ 2
- 5 * (10) ÷ 2
Now we will focus on the exponent:
- 5 * 10 ÷ 2
8 - 5 * 10 ÷ 2
Now Multiplication/Division.
This is where you must follow the order in the equation where you see the multiplication sign first, so you multiply first.
8 - 5 * 10 ÷ 2
8 - 50 ÷ 2
Next, Divide:
8 - 50 ÷ 2
8 - 25
Subtract:
8 - 25
-17
- 5 * (6 + 4) ÷ 2 = -17.
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
A₅ = 1/16 and r= 1/4
Let see how to build up this formula that is going to give that term of rank n
1st term =a₁ = To be calculated
1st a₁ = a₁ x r°
2nd a₂ = a₁ x r¹
3rd a₃ = a₁ x r²
4th a₄ = a₁ x r³
5th a₅ = a₁ x r⁴
.......................
.......................
nth : a(n) = a₁ x r⁽ⁿ-¹)
Note when that the subscript of a is the same as the exponent mines 1
We know the ratio r =1/4 & the fifth term, a₅ =1/16 (given). Now let's apply the formula to calculate the unknown a₁.
a(n) = a₁ x r⁽ⁿ-¹) ==>a₅ = a₁ x (1/4)⁽⁵⁺¹⁾ ===> 1/16 = a₁ x (1/4)⁴
1/167 = a₁ (1/256) ==> a₁ =16 & the formula becomes
a₅ = 16(1/4)⁴
